A Group,under the auspices of Nigerian Youths Alliance (NIYA) has described the sack of 35 Presidential aides attached to the office of the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo as deliberate action targeted against the youths.
The group in a statement by its chairman, Akinsiji Ololade and Secretary, Adamu Tahir, although acknowledged the constitutional right of the President to ‘hire and fire.
Part of the Statement read: “considering that the Presidency has not hinted that the sacked aides committed any specific offences, it is therefore safe to say the young men and women were relieved of their job because of President Buhari, who himself first became President at a young age of 40.
“For a President who has consistently overlooked the youth constituency in almost every major appointment since 2015 to now sack 35 youths at once is nothing but a direct assault against youth population.
“This is why we demand that every Nigerian youth who knows that the future belongs to us, and not a group of retiring octogenarians, to see this sack beyond a few young people losing their jobs. It is clearly a battle against youth political inclusion, and every young person will do well to rise in defence of our collective political destiny.

“At time youths across Nigeria are beginning to celebrate the gains of the ,’#NotTooYoungToRun’ campaign which has propelled many young people into leadership positions in States across the country; we cannot not fold our arms while the same President we brought to power through the sheer strength of our youthful energy and ideas send us backward by many years.
”The youths of Nigeria are no doubt beginning to make significant inroads into the politics and governance of Nigeria, and this latest sack of young people without any justification is a deliberate scheme to thwart the progress we’ve made so far.
“All pro-youth groups must therefore rise up now to defend our future from a small clique of the old generation who are bent on spoiling our today and tomorrow.”
