Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Youth leaders from the six states of Nigeria\u2019s North Central region and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have inaugurated national and state executives of a regional youth forum, pledging to focus on voter registration and participation ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event held in Abuja on Saturday, the Director-General of the group, Comrade Abdullahi Muhammed Jemil, said the forum plans to engage communities, institutions and markets across all 1,432 wards in the North Central region and FCT.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting voters\u2019 cards is our machinery to ensure full participation. We are committed to reaching citizens in all wards and encouraging them to participate fully in the 2027 elections,\u201d Jemil said.<\/p>\n

The group tasked state coordinators, women leaders, and national executives to activate local chapters to facilitate voter registration and awareness campaigns.<\/p>\n

Hon. Hassan Omale Atayoma, Chairman of the forum\u2019s Board of Trustees, urged patience with government policies, noting that reforms being implemented would yield long-term benefits for residents of the region.<\/p>\n

Prince Ngbede Odoh, the National Youth Ambassador, highlighted the need for improved voter turnout, pointing out that registration and participation rates in previous elections were lower than expected.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the National Director of the Tinubu Support Group, Umar Tanko Yankasi, described the North Central as one of Nigeria\u2019s most resource-rich regions, citing Kogi State as an example.<\/p>\n

Represented by Hassan Sadiq, the National Director of the forum, Umar Tanko Yankasi, emphasized the importance of ward-level organization for effective voter engagement, describing it as central to electoral preparedness in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are economic ideas that countries like America, Germany and the UK followed before getting to where they are today,\u201d Yankasi said.<\/p>\n

Barr. Isah Iliyasu, Legal Adviser to the youth forum, advised members to pursue their mobilization efforts diplomatically and systematically, stressing that electoral engagement should remain peaceful and crisis-free.<\/p>\n

The inauguration brought together youth leaders and stakeholders from across the region to coordinate efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
