H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga in a warm Handshake with Hon Vincent Ajayi- President of the National Youth Council- Edo state and the South -South Zone

Behold the Mega Force has arrived to grab power in 2019 presidential election of the Nigerian Federation. Another milestone was made today in the history of Nigerian Democratic Dispensation as the Democratic Alternative Party DA and the National Youth Council of the Nigerian Federation[South South Zone] opened discussion on working together to grab power come 2019 presidential polls. An agreement in principle between the National Youth Council South -South Oil Producing Zone of Six states of [Edo, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Cross Rivers with a population estimate of 20 million peoples] and Democratic Alternative Party was arrived at. The youth population is 65% of the Nigeria’s demography and any party that grab that great force would control the outcome of the election in the South -South Region and on National interpretation.

H.E. Prince Frank Ukonga the National Chairman of DA- Democratic Alternative Party represented the Democratic Alternative NEC while Hon Incent Ajayi the President of the National Youth Council [South- South] Zone represented the National Youth Council [South –South] and it was agreed in principle the urgent need for the Youth of the Nigerian Federation to grab power and be masters of their destiny. Just as France elected H.E. Macron President of France at 39 years old, Luxemburg elected a 44 years old as president, Belgium elected 41 years old, Canada elected a youth of 44 years old so also Nigerian Youths are determined to elect a Youth as the President of Nigeria, elect Youth as the Governors of the States, elect Youth as the Senators, Elect Youth for the House of Representatives and Elect Youth for the House of Assembly, and elect Youth as Councilors and Local Govt Chairmen. Medical Science ascertain that the Youth age is the most energetic and productive age of any Being in creation. The youth age also goes with vision, determination, perspective, hard work ,Success, Achievements and what have you…it is time Nigeria have a paradigm shift to be in line with the global trends of giving the youth a chance to lead the polity politically ,economically and otherwise…

In this context the  over 10 million members National Youth Council of the South- South Oil producing Region comprising Six states of the Nigerian Federation have today adopted and endorse the Democratic Alternative as their Party as the platform to grab power come 2019 general election. And in the next few days’ discussion is being opened with the Youth Councils of the remaining 5 zones of the Nigerian Six zones structure, addressed to unite the Youth of all the six zones for this giant strides of grabbing power come 2019 presidential election and making history for the first time in the annals of democracy in Africa…

Conclusion: Note DA is the Youth friendly Party of Nigeria. DA  and the National Youth Council Edo state Chapter have experimented the partnership on state level  as in the Just concluded Edo state Local Government Election of 3ed March 2018 where the National Youth Council Edo state chapter adopted DA as their platform to field 192 councilors, 18 lga chairmen and 18 vice chairmen and the result of the election was fantastic as DA came second in the overall results, despite the idiosyncrasies that characterize Local Govt polls Nationwide…From this practical experience of the Edo state local govt election of 3ed March we can certainly conclude that under more congenial election where the votes would count the Youth of Nigeria will certainly win many seats in any general election…whence the need to unite them and give the experiment National interpretation come 2019 presidential election, to the benefits of all Mankind of substantiated realms of subsequent creation and Unto God be the glory…gratitude.
