A group of Plateau youths known as “Youths In Action For Lamido 2019” took a unanimous decision in Jos Tuesday, February 2017 after its meeting to back a former Governor of Jigawa state Dr. Sule Lamido for Nigeria’s president in 2019. In a statement made available to ViewPointNigeria and signed by the president, Comrade Abel Casper and secretary, Nanlir Miri respectively, the group says its decision to support Lamido was borne out of his giant strides and deep sense of patriotism for Nigeria. “There is no former Governor that has achieved quality strides like Lamido in office. We will mobilize and ensure he wins the presidency to salvage Nigeria from poor leadership at all levels. When he was the Governor of Jigawa state, you can bear us witness how the state was poor economically and development wise, but Lamido brought hope to the people by massively engaging in transformational leadership. His achievements are too numerous to mention .” The statement reads in part. The group further says it is committed to working with Plateau youths so their voice could be heard on a National Platform. After the meeting which lasted for two hours at Solomon Lar Amusement Park, the members appointed an ADHOC committee members and they are:

1. Casper Abel (Jos North) – Chairman
2. Nanlir Miri (Langtang South) – Secretary
3. Nankyer John (Mangu) – PRO
4. Rebecca Mann (Riyom) – Treasurer
5. Simon Yelwa (Shendam) – Provost Marshal
