The PDP New Generation, a support group established to create a platform for youths to participate in active politics in Nigeria has put in place over 5,000 executive committee members across the country to work for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Audu Mahmood, Director-General of the organization in a statement released on Monday, October 17, noted that the move was in a bid to strengthen, inspire, and boost the morale and confidence of excos and members of the group.
The organization has since commenced an inauguration tour across the 36 states of Nigeria including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Mahmood said:
“The nationwide inauguration ceremonies started with Delta state on 31st August and ended with Ondo state on 15th October 2022.
“During the events, the leadership of PDP New Generation administered the oath of office to over 5,000 young men and women, who were appointed as state executives, local government and ward coordinators of the organization across the country.”
Highlights of the nationwide ceremonies include receiving young decampees from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to PDP in Kwara, and endorsement of the Atiku/Okowa presidential ticket by some Nigerian celebrities in Lagos, among others.
Also, there was a presentation of the award of excellence to Mahmood by the Jigawa state PDP chairman, in Dutse, and a rescue walk with thousands of youths in Ogun state.
Mahmood further stated:
“The nationwide inaugural ceremonies were also a medium for the leadership to meet with other members in different zones and states to discuss further on strategies of how to mobilize fellow youths to vote for the Atiku/Okowa ticket and all other PDP candidates in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
“With a nationwide grass-root structure with over 5,000 excos and coordinators, the PDP New Generation remains committed and steadfast in delivering over 5 million votes to the PDP presidential ticket in the 2023 general elections.”
