The National Youth Alliance (NYA) has condemned the practice of Nigerian politicians mobilising young people during electioneering only to abandon them after securing victory, describing the trend as unacceptable and damaging to the country’s democratic growth.
The President of the NYA, Aliyu Bin Abbas, made this declaration yesterday in Abuja while inaugurating the chairmen of the alliance across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as well as unveiling the organisation’s official website and digital portal at the NAF Conference Centre.
Abbas said many politicians had confused and misguided Nigerian youths by using them as tools during elections and excluding them from governance thereafter.
