Youths loyal to the All Progressives Congress under the umbrella of APC Youth Stakeholders Forum have protested against any plan to impose a candidate on the party during the forthcoming National Convention of the party slated for March 26, 2022
The youths urged the leaders and all stakeholders not to allow the mistakes of the past to repeat themselves during the convention.
One of the conveners of the protest, Yunusa Ahmadu Yusuf stated this when the forum protested at the party’s secretariat in Abuja on Friday.
He appealed to the party to use the opportunity provided by the National convention to correct past mistakes.
“We are here to state our decision and to say that the mistakes that have been made in the past must be corrected by this convention that is scheduled for March 26.
And we are saying that the party should not impose any candidate on the people. party members and the deligate should be allowed to choose who will lead them at the national level.” He said
The youth commended the Chairman of the Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Mai Mala Buni, for managing the party towards restoring sanity,
Over time our party has suffered leadership crisis and we are now trying to see how we can lend our voices so that we can ensure that is corrected.
“We have recommended very highly that all party stakeholders should be allowed to make their input; they should be allowed to say what they want, who would lead them, how, when, where and that is what we have settled for and that is why we are here today.”
