Youths for Atiku (YOFA) the youth campaign group for the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has unveiled its National Secretariat and campaign vehicle in Abuja.
The event held on Saturday attracted YOFA executives, zonal, state, LGA and unit coordinators, as well as group members and Atiku supporters nationwide.
YOFA’S National Coordinator Chimaeze Ogoegbunam in his address said said the group is determined to continue to use all medium possible to mobilize youths across the nation to vote for Abubakar as President in the forthcoming general elections.
” I must commend members of this group across the nation for their selfless efforts in promoting our principal since this journey started. It is the hard work of members of our team that changed the narrative on social media which in turn led to him clinching the party’s ticket. Our members are generally looking for what they can do for their nation and not what the nation can do for them.”
Spokesperson of the group Beauty Yahawah in her speech said “we are not lazy youths, we can drive the political scene positively to the direction that is most beneficial to us.”
” We have been working for our Principal prior to his victory in the party’s primary election, and are not tired of working… It is on this note that we officially present our national campaign secretariat, where we will be driving Young Nigerians across the nation to do the needful and work for the victory of our principal, Alhaji Atiku Abukakar. We have also provided branded vehicles.”
Stressing the need to “get Nigeria working again”, YOFA stated that the current situation in the country is not where it should be.
Dignitaries at the event include Hon. Oladimeji Fabiyi, Deputy Director of Support Groups, Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr. Ahmed Adamu, SSA to Atiku Abubakar on Youths and Strategy and Mohammed Atiku-Abubakar, Patron of the group, Shehu Atiku-Abubakar.
