A group under the aegis of Northern Youth Democratic Network (NYDN) on Sunday advised President Mohammadu Buhari to nominate Babangida Nguroje, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives as minister from Taraba State given his track record of achievements as a public officer.


The NYDN advice was contained in a statement jointly signed by Dauda Mathias President and Yahaya Abdullahi, respectively, and made available to newsmen in Lafia the state capital.


The group in their statement said It is an irrefutable fact that Nigerian politics is divided along with religion, but Nguroje is different.



According to the statement,” The former Deputy Speaker has valued people irrespective of their religious affiliation or social status and it is this kind of Nigerian youth and lieutenant that the President should consider for appointment into his cabinet,” the group added.



The group in the statement, therefore, called on all the President’s appointees to be patriotic enough and key into his vision of making the country better before he lives office in 2023.


The group also commented on President Muhammadu Buhari for the security measures adopted to tackle the rising çases of banditry and kidnapping in Zamfara State.


According to the statement, based on the information available to the group so far the military is decisively dealing with all criminal elements in Zamfara State due to the shutdown of the mobile network.


It said the shutdown of the mobile network has helped in preventing the bandits from getting information on the movement of the military thereby given the military advantage over the criminals.
