National Youth Council Faults Arewa Youth Assembly Over Impeachment Call Against Govs Abiodun, Mbah

Image
The National Youth Council has strongly criticized the Arewa Youth Assembly over its call for the impeachment of Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and Enugu State Governor, Mr. Peter Mbah, describing the move as irresponsible, politically misguided, and outside the mandate of any youth organization. In a statement issued on Monday by the National Vice President of the Council, Comrade Kehinde Olorunjubelo, the Council said the Arewa Youth Assembly goofed by dabbling into the internal affairs of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), an exclusive political structure with established mechanisms for resolving its issues. According to the Council, it is not the responsibility of any youth group, particularly one claiming to represent northern youths, to interfere in the operations, leadership dynamics, or political disagreements within the PGF. “The Progressive Governors Forum is an internal political platform with its own constitutional processes and conflict-resolution mechanisms...

Governor Adeleke And The Awolowo Model Of People-centered Governance

Image
Government exists for the people. That is the ABC of good governance, straight and simple. Good governance is not about big offices or power; it is about making life easier and better for ordinary men, women, children, youths, and even the most vulnerable in society. It means helping children learn properly, keeping families healthy, paying workers fairly, creating opportunities, protecting the people, and making sure nobody is left behind. This is exactly the kind of leadership Chief Obafemi Awolowo practiced and preached. He built his legacy on free education, accessible healthcare, infrastructure that served everyday people, and programmes that truly lifted lives. Awolowo saw citizens as the center and purpose of government. In Osun State today, Governor Ademola Adeleke is walking faithfully in those same footsteps. His administration runs a genuinely people-centered government, where every policy and project is designed to touch real lives directly. From schoolchildren to workers, ...

Image
A northern-based group, the Northern Progressive Youth Vanguard (NPYV), has dismissed calls by the Arewa Youth Assembly seeking the impeachment of Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and his Enugu State counterpart, Mr. Peter Mbah, over developments within the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF). In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja and signed by its Chairman,, Alhaji Shehu Usman Jubrin , the group described the impeachment call as strange, unnecessary, and politically motivated, alleging that political enemies of the two governors were hiding under the guise of northern youths to pursue personal political interests. The group urged Nigerians to disregard what it described as “the shenanigans of a faceless and subversive group conjured by desperate and drowning politicians” to push an agenda against Governor Abiodun and Governor Mbah. According to the NPYV, youths across the 19 northern states belong to different political and ideological leanings and were never consulted on ma...
