  • Presidential aspirant Mohammed Hayatu-Deen urged Nigerian youths to vote for accountable leadership in the 2027 general election.
  • He criticized past and present leadership for failing to address unemployment, insecurity, and economic hardship.
  • Hayatu-Deen emphasized that young Nigerians' future is being jeopardized by recycled politics and inadequate investment in human capital.

As a presidential aspirant on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), I, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, am calling on the vibrant youth of Nigeria to wield their power in the 2027 general election. It is time to demand leadership that is not only accountable but also demonstrably capable of tackling the pressing issues of unemployment, insecurity, and the worsening economic hardship that plagues our nation.

Vote for jobs. Vote for safer communities. Vote for leadership with calmness, discipline, and competence. Vote for a Nigeria that finally puts its young people first.

· Mohammed Hayatu-DeenAddressing hundreds of youths at the event, the presidential hopeful declared that the future of Nigerian youths was “being stolen” by what he described as recycled politics and failed leadership.

For too long, Nigeria's political landscape has been dominated by recycled leadership and failed governance. This has resulted in a severe deficit in opportunities for education, employment, and security for our younger generation. The future of millions of Nigerian youths is being systematically stolen, not due to a lack of talent, but because of a persistent failure in leadership – a leadership that has neglected to plan, invest in human capital, and has normalized suffering.

Two-thirds of Nigeria’s population is under the age of 35. So whenever politicians talk about Nigeria’s future, they are talking about young Nigerians. And the painful truth is this: right now, the future of young Nigerians is being stolen.

· Mohammed Hayatu-DeenAccording to him, the future of Nigerian youths was being stolen by recycled politics and failed leadership.

The African Democratic Congress has a crucial decision to make. We must ask ourselves if we are truly serious about offering Nigerians a genuine alternative to the ruling party. Are we prepared to present a candidate who not only understands the daily struggles of our citizens but is also equipped with the calmness, discipline, and competence to lead us toward recovery? My focus remains on jobs, security, and economic revival, and I believe the ADC can be the vehicle for this much-needed change.

The problem has never been the young people of Nigeria. The problem has been leadership, leadership that failed to plan, leadership that failed to invest, leadership that normalized suffering and then told Nigerians this was simply how things are.

· Mohammed Hayatu-DeenHe expressed concern over the rising number of out-of-school children and growing youth unemployment, insisting that Nigeria’s challenges stem largely from leadership failures.
