According to him, “We congratulate President Bola Tinubu on his emergence as the 16th President of Nigeria.

“We are glad that a reformer like Tinubu is now in Aso Rock, and we are excited about the future.

“However, we call on President Tinubu to balance his appointments with youths to use the excessive vigour in young people to move his administration faster.

“In a rapidly changing world, it is crucial to have young minds actively contributing to policy directions.

“President Tinubu should bridge the generational gap and benefit from the fresh outlook and energy that young people bring to the table.

“This intergenerational dialogue fosters a more inclusive and comprehensive decision-making process in governance.”

The IMMG also urged the president to retain young and outstanding appointees of government inherited from the Buhari administration.

Comrade Arinze stated that there are already young people in government who have proven themselves in office, adding that such appointees should be rewarded for their hard work so far.
