The Peoples’ Democratic Party National Youth Frontier considers it a subject of high importance to commend His Excellency, Goodluck Jonathan, President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for fulfilling his pledge to the teeming youth population of Nigeria. In recognition of the strength and unique prospects of this category of Nigerians, our amiable President pledged to run a government wherein youth will feature prominently as a means of giving a voice to them.
