According to him, by this action, Kogi State Governor Bello, who is also a presidential aspirant of the party, made it possible for many young persons to fulfill their ambitions because of the discount.
“He lobbied members of the national working committee (NWC) during the just concluded National Executive Council (NEC) meeting to get the reduction on behalf of his fellow youths,” Fakai said.
He urged the teeming youths across the 36 states and FCT to rally round and support the presidential aspiration of Bello.
He said the governor is the only one that understands their feelings and challenges, and will place the country on the right pedestal.
He also expressed optimism that Bello would replicate youth inclusiveness in governance, as currently being witnessed in Kogi State.
Falaki said, “Let me urge the Nigerian youths to join forces with my office as I tour round the 36 states and Abuja, to lobby party stakeholders and delegates to ensure that a youth, in the person of Governor Bello flies the APC Presidential ticket in 2023.
The NEC meeting, held at Transcorp Hotel, Abuja, was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, among others.
