And lastly the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello, for finding him worthy to be nominated to fly the country’s flag to represent Nigeria at the continental level.
“I want to thank the Nigerian youth for their confidence in me, and the African Youth for voting in mass for me at the just concluded elective congress of the Pan-African Youth Union in Niamey Niger Republic, where I just emerged as the number two youth in Africa, and the number one youth in West Africa. It is a big honor to me and also a very big honor to Nigeria.
“Above all, I want to thank everyone that is here to welcome us to Nigeria. The marmot crowd here is a testament that the Nigerian youth are happy for what we have done, and the victory we brought back home.
“We are promising that we will not disappoint them, we will continue to fly the Nigerian flag very high at the continental level, and most importantly to always represent Nigeria outrightly in service to West African youth, even as we build the Africa we want in line with African Union Agenda 2063.” Amb. Nihi reacted.
