The Jigawa Youth Agenda has vehemently denied the unfounded allegations made by a mysterious group claiming to represent APC youth in Jigawa State against Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar.
Investigations have revealed that this group is not officially registered with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa and seems to have been hastily formed to spread misinformation and disrupt party unity.
The Youth Agenda is in solidarity with Minister Badaru Abubakar as it reaffirmed its unwavering support for Minister Badaru Abubakar, acknowledging his exceptional contributions to the APC and Nigeria.
“His leadership and commitment are indisputable, from his transformative tenure as Governor of Jigawa State to his current role as Minister of Defence,” the group said in a statement.
The group believes Minister Badaru has done excellently well and highlighted his key achievements to include but not limited to the following:
– Strengthening National Security: Minister Badaru Abubakar has enhanced Nigeria’s military capabilities, ensuring protection of lives and property.
– Forging Strategic Partnerships: He has fostered vital alliances with global defence organizations to bolster Nigeria’s security and modernize defence infrastructure.
– Promoting Youth Empowerment: The Minister has launched initiatives focused on education, employment, and entrepreneurship in Jigawa State.
– Advancing APC Unity: Minister Badaru Abubakar promotes unity within the party, fostering collaboration across Jigawa and nationally.
The group insists that the so-called APC Youth Group’s allegations are an attempt to create division within the united APC family, and therefore, urged APC members and the public to disregard these unfounded claims and focus on strengthening party unity and ideals.
“Minister Badaru Abubakar’s legacy remains a source of pride for Jigawa State and Nigeria. His dedication to national development, APC principles, and the Tinubu administration demonstrate his integrity and effectiveness,” the group further said.
The Jigawa Youth Agenda urged Nigerians to recognize the minister’s achievements and support his efforts to build a stronger, more secure nation.
It reaffirmed its full confidence in Minister Badaru Abubakar’s ability to lead and contribute positively to Nigeria’s development, saying, “Together, let us reject misinformation and uphold APC unity and progress at state and national levels.”
