2027: Nigerian Youth Have Waited Long Enough - ADP Presidential Candidate Abbas


*Says Nigeria not finished beyond redemption 


*Says ADP will rebirth a New Nigeria where  surname, tribe, religion, state of origin or political connection does not determine success




For decades, young Nigerians have been told to wait: wait for opportunities, wait for leadership, wait for political inclusion, wait for a better Nigeria,  by 2027, the waiting should be over.


This was expressed by the Presidential Candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas in his message on the International Youth Day 2026.


This was contained in a statement signed by his SA Media, Okpani Jacob Onjewu Dickson, made available to newsnen in Kaduna on Wednesday August 12, 2026.



"Our answer is: WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. The Nigerian Youth must no longer be treated merely as voters, campaign crowds, social-media warriors or political foot soldiers. We must become nation-builders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, innovators, public servants, legislators and leaders.

Our time has come," he said in his message.


The top presidential candidate added that, "I believe that Youth O’Clock is not a slogan it is a divine appointment with destiny.


"The Almighty has placed extraordinary gifts in the Nigerian Youth: intelligence, creativity, courage, resilience and the capacity to dream beyond the limitations imposed upon us."


According to him,  destiny does not answer to wishes alone, it answers to courage, discipline, sacrifice, faith and action.


"Therefore, on this International Youth Day, I challenge every young Nigerian, do not surrender your future to cynicism. Do not allow poverty to kill your ambition.


"Do not allow ethnic or religious divisions to make you enemies of one another.


"Do not allow desperate politicians to use your anger while they steal your future..And above all, do not believe that Nigeria is beyond redemption," he charged.


Ambassador Abbas said that there is hope for Nigeria to reclaim its rightful place in the comity of nations 


"Nigeria is not finished. Nigeria is waiting to be reborn. That rebirth will require a new generation willing to rise above personal interests and place the Nigerian nation first.


"This is why our mission is simple:

To birth a New Nigeria where your surname, tribe, religion, state of origin or political connection does not determine how far you can go.


"A Nigeria where a young person from Biu can dream of leading the nation. A Nigeria where a young woman from Imo can sit at the highest table of national decision-making.


"A Nigeria where a child born in poverty can become a global champion. A Nigeria where talent not connection is rewarded.


"A Nigeria where leadership is a sacred responsibility, not an avenue for personal enrichment.


"My dear Nigerian Youth, history is calling," he declared.

‎Haske's Governorship Miscalculation; When ambition outpaces strategy

Image
‎ ‎By Mukhtar S. Galadima ‎ ‎Politics rewards ambition, but it punishes strategic impatience. Throughout history, politicians who successfully climbed to the highest offices did so not merely because they were ambitious, but because they understood timing, party loyalty, coalition-building, and the value of political compromise. ‎ ‎Abdulrahman Bashir Haske represents one of the emerging political figures in Adamawa State. His governorship aspiration significantly raised his public profile and introduced him to the wider political consciousness of the state. For someone relatively new to frontline partisan politics, that alone was a remarkable achievement. ‎ ‎Ordinarily, such political exposure should serve as the foundation for a long-term career. A politician who has successfully introduced himself to the electorate has already won an important battle. The logical next step is usually to consolidate support, strengthen alliances, exhibit humility and patiently build politi...
