A forum of the Zonal
and State Youth Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected in
entirety, the list of Presidential Campaign Committee as released by the
presidency on Friday, even as they demanded for more inclusion.
In a statement signed on Friday in
Abuja, the forum said they have made a lot of sacrifices for the party to be
where it is today but the leadership of the APC has continued to down grade the
youth wing.
The statement signed by the
North-central youth leader, Comrade Terver Aginde, on behalf of all the zonal
and states youth leaders, threatened to mobilise all the APC youths to fight
what he described as injustice against the youth wing of the ruling party.
“We the zonal youths and states youth
leaders of the All Progressive Congress (APC), after carefully studing the
presidential campaign commitee list, we are saying that the list has no
interest of the youth wing of the party at heart and we will not accept
anything short of totally been in charge of the youth Directorate from the
National, zonal and state levels of the party.
“We have made sacrifice and shown
commitment to the party and we deserve a good deal. We are ready to mobilize
ourselves to fight for this injustice and exclusiveness if nothing is done
quickly.
“We constitute the highest percentage
of the voting strenght, if all the zonal women leaders will be included in the
campaign team, we see no reason why the youth leaders should not be
included.”
