National Youth Council Nigeria (N.Y.C.N) is a council put together by well meaning Nigerians in the year 1963 by leaders who has understood the importance of the strength and the role of youths in every nation around the world. The Noble call for a leader to lead the youths of this nation through its all responsibilities will and only be obeyed at all cost when the said leader fits into the criteria in the first place of becoming the leader of these patriotic youths of this country.

Recently, the National Youth Council of Nigeria election was flagged on with great anticipation of who becomes the President that will champion the affairs of the great Youths of this country. The candidate that campaigned for this prestigious position were:

Jibril Hamza Danpullo

Abdullahi Abdulmagid

Yakubu Shendam……… amongst others.

Hon. Minister. Inuwa Abdulakadir (Youths Development) 

The issues of this country will change when the people can stand up for truth, honesty and sincerity. In the other way around, the issues of this country will have tremendous transformation if our leaders respects the right of the youths of this great country Nigeria and if they stay out from the affairs and politics of the National Youth Council Elections. It is sad that in a country like Nigeria, godfatherism can go so deep even affecting or determining the election of the Youths president. Firstly and sadly, the NYCN election was not conducted but a president was nominated without a proper election that should allow the qualified person with proper qualifications assume the office as the NYCN president. Yakubu Shendam was appointed as president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria on the 26^th of May by the Benue State Governor; Gov. Gabriel Suswan and since then he has payed courtesy visit to the Minister of Youths Development Hon. Inuwa Abdulakadir who ascertained that the NYCN election was credible, also free and fair.

Now the question here is; why will the office of the president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria be on appointment instead of an election?

Why will political parties and militancy play a role in the NYCN election?

Why will a candidate of over 37yrs, which already has contradicted the age range for running for this office in the first place, win the NYCN election?

Why will the office of the NYCN be used to compensate former PA’s or former employee's? What happened here is, the office of the National Youth Council of Nigeria have been marginalize by leaders who controls the elections of who becomes the NYCN president and this has to stop. Bamanga Tukur who is the PDP National Chairman brought Yakubu Shendam who was his PA to become the president of NYCN and this cannot work because even if they have appointed him without any election, the Nigerian Youths cannot fold hands and watch our future tampered with by shameless leaders who believe they can do and undo anything they wish in this country; it is high time we the youths rose up to put an end to situations like this.

Reasons why Yakubu Shendam cannot be the president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria NYCN; Yakubu Shendam was not elected by the youths and people of this country, Yakubu Shendam doesn’t fall within the age range eligible for the election of this office, Yakubu Shendam will not be recognised the international community, the United Nations, the European Union because he wasn’t elected lawfully, even if Yakubu Shendam claims to be 34yrs old he still cannot run for an office of 4yrs because he has only 1yr to be 35 which still makes him not eligible for that office of the Youths president, Yakubu Shendam is not recognised by National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), There wasn’t any election that was conducted that proved Yakubu Shendam as the NYCN  president.

My advice to Yakubu Shendam is to respect the law and step down and wait for an election in the next 90days that will ascertain the eligible winner of the NYCN election 2013 

Youth has a vital role in nation building and if we cannot have a free and fair foundation then I wonder what nation we will be building on a manipulated foundation. We are the youths and we remain the strength of our nation, it is time for us to bring an end to this unlawfulness of some leaders show believes that our great country Nigeria is their chess board. Stand up Nigerian youths, Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
