The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus and members of the National Working Committee as well as youth leaders on Wednesday met at the National Secretariat in Abuja.

The PDP leaders who were seen dressed in the colour of the party, either wore a red, green or white beret at the meeting.

The chairman during the meeting urged the youth to participate actively in politics, saying any nation in the world where the youths doesn’t participate in the political development of the country is doomed.

He said General Yakubu Gowon was a youth that successfully presided over the affairs of Nigeria until the end of the war, noting that the youths must come out and volunteer themselves to make sacrifice else they will not be noticed.

Secondus said,

“The country needs the youths and PDP is prepared to allow the youths to take their place in leadership. We have a program called GENERATION NEXT to prepare the youths for future leadership of our party. All party youths must be mentored and groomed. Nigeria is in crises and this is the time we need the youths. APC is a threat to Nigeria’s unity.  At 32 Yakubu Gowon fought hard for the unity of the country. Nigeria youths irrespective of party affiliation must join hands to rescue the country from APC doom.

“Dietie Spiff became military governor of Old Rivers state at 27. Nigeria has never been divided the way we are under APC. APC government has failed woefully. APC wants to rig election but PDP will not allow APC to rig 2019 election. Nigerians will must prevail Our reward system is one that encourages hard work. PDP government will reward those that work hard for the party.”
