A renowned member of the Tinubu Support Organization (TSO) and Spokesperson of the group, Hon. Franklin Ebere Njoku known for his sociopolitical clout and political Strategy has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immediately review the activities of the Honourable Minister of Youth Development Dr. Jamila Ibrahim Bio.
Hon. Franklin in a statement at the just concluded strategie meeting of the #TinubAndNigerianMustSuceeedInitiative ( TNMSI ) has blamed most of the recent outrage by youths in the country on the incompetence of Jamila, her professional inabilities, lukewarm strategies, and unlivable engagement with the youths.
Hon. Frank held firm that the Minister has failed in her mandate to directly communicate and engage the Nigerian youths properly and actively.
He made emphasis on the recent Endbadgovernance protest which led to several political and economic setbacks. He recalled that prior to the protest, efforts made by youth groups and channelled through the office of Minister of Youths were all ignored, especially in such sensitive times.
"The so called #EndBadGovernance protest that threatened the corporate existence of our country could have been avoided if the Minister took proactive public measures, by actively engaging the young people/ organisers in the capacity of her office and not waiting for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to do the work for her. The Minister could have done way more then she did if she really understood the responsibilities and duty of her office at a time Nigerian youths craved her indulgence the most.
The proactive APC chieftain sighted the fact that the Minister did not do enough to stop her youth community from embarking on the #EndBadGovernance that rocked the nation last month and until now, Jamila to the best of my knowledge is yet to organise any press conference, cross section youth political tours or any similar event to filter the challenges of Endbadgovernance and how it could be avoided moving forward.
Njoku states that the office of the youth Minister has been used for her elite engagement and promotion of her personal status and has remained inactive, cold, sterile and uninventive towards face to face grassroot engagement with the youths.
"As the Minister of Youth, her office requires her to continuously fraternize with leadership of top youth organisations, engage face to face with young people across the country to reconcile their plights and advise government effectively.
As you know, over 90% of Nigerian youths do not even know who the Federal Minister of Youth Development is, they don't know her name and talk more of identifying with her off Elite TV events . This is not helping the Youths Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.
Jamila is rarely accessible and slides away from socioeconomic programs organised by youth organizations with objectives bothering on youth advancement and development.
What we have seen with the current Minister appears to have placed the youths at a corner where they feel they have no liaison officer at the seat of power and it has largely fuelled the agitation in their minds, as they feel alienated.
Recall that Tinubu Support Organization played a significant role towards the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential polls. According to Hon Njoku, TSO will do everything to ensure that the Tinubu led administration succeeds for a better Nigeria.
