He was addressing a crowd of APC faithful comprising party leaders, delegates, and other supporters at the Eagle Square, the venue of the presidential convention in the nation’s capital.
40-year-old Nicholas Felix, while addressing the gathering at the Eagle Square, the venue of the convention said, “I am 40-year-old, the youngest Presidential aspirant and I represent the youth.
“This is the second time I am contesting for president after I have contested in the last election because of the call that I am not too young to run.
“When I came out to contest for the first time, they told me not to attempt it. I did and came third.
“I am a son of nobody, if I can achieve this, many youths can be somebody. I discovered that youths have been marginalised, they give youth the position of Special Adviser without office.
“I am a son of a civil servant, I am stepping down for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.”
It could be recalled that he contested in the previous general elections under the People’s Coalition Party (PCP).
