Presidential Goodluck Jonathan hosts said his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government has preferred arrangements for the adolescent over the All Progressives Congress (APC) which he says is edgy for force.
Talking on Thursday as the gathering hailed off its crusade at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, Jonathan said the APC and its presidential competitor, Muhammadu Buhari, is just misleading the individuals.
“So I came up with a special scholarship that you must have made first class in your university. Then we take the first class of the first class and send them to the first 25 universities in the world.
"Can someone who has no plan do that?” he queried.
"I believe that young Nigerians are the future of this country."
“Most people in my age bracket are finished and gone. That is why I am passionate about those who are within the age of 18 and 23 who are voting for the first time. We believe that you people will take us to the moon.
“They (APC) should come and tell us the plans they have for the youths of Nigeria," he added.
He said Nigerians should be wary of the APC whom he accused of lying after Buhari reportedly said he would not post past leaders only to make a U-turn later.
“They said they will start fighting corruption after they cross the bridge. And only two days ago, somebody stood in Port Harcourt and said he is going to cast people into prison and throw them into Kirikiri.
"They want power by all means,” he stated.
