The Arewa Youths Council of Nigeria (AYN) has called on President Bola Tinubu to appoint Michael Achadu, a philanthropist, as minister from Benue state.

In a statement on Monday, Musa Babangida, national president of the council, said Achadu is well prepared for the job because he has a full grasp of Tinubu’s “Renewed hope agenda”.

Babangida described Achadu as a patriot that resonates with determination, doggedness, courage and perseverance, adding that the philanthropist’s life revolves around service to humanity.

He said Achadu is on a mission to change the socio-political and economic landscape of the nation.

“The Arewa Youth Council of Nigeria is issuing this press statement to highlight the need to appoint Chief Dr Michael Achadu as minister of the federal republic of Nigeria,” the statement reads.

“This clarion call is born of the necessity for the Bola Tinubu administration to get it right in addressing the country’s challenges. We must admit that the government requires progressive-minded individuals passionate about bringing about positive change in society.

“Chief Dr Micheal Achadu is a patriot. His life revolves around service to humanity. He is a United Nations SDG ambassador whose foray into partisan politics was driven by passion and the need to offer an alternative to the general narrative.

“A grassroots politician that resonates with determination, doggedness, perseverance, and courage, he is on a mission to change the socio-political and economic landscape in this era of the renewed hope project of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“At this time, we believe development should be driven by intellectuals with a time-tested track record of entrepreneurship breakthroughs.

“The necessity now requires round pegs in round holes. Chief Dr Micheal Achadu, a known advocate of youth empowerment and enterprise, was instrumental to the victory of the APC in the general election in Benue state, where he rallied the teeming youthful population.”
