APC National Youth Leader: Youth Groups Drum Support For Rinsola Abiola

The Amalgamation of Youth Associations from seven states of the Northwest zone has declared their support for Rinsola Abiola to contest for the position of National youth leader of the All Progressive Congress APC.

The Zonal Coordinator of the Amalgamation Sabi’u Sulaiman Ibrahim stated this during a media briefing held in Kano.

He said after exhaustive deliberations with the youth Associations in the north-western region  have resolved to support the daughter of the legend late Chief MKO Abiola, Rinsola Abiola, who is contesting for the position of National Youth leader under the platform of All Progressive Congress.

“We are here under the auspices of many youth associations across the seven states of our zone, Northwest. A large chunk of us are APC card carrying members. We also have, among us, political activists, who believe in the promotion of women in governance and politics. ”

“We can understand that part of what she has in her shopping list, is to mobilise young voters for the 2023 elections through extensive nationwide engagements with different segments of youth across the country. With this, she can be able to help Nigerian youth navigate correctly with clear vision and direction.”

“Her sterling qualities are consolidating aspect of the entire process, she also has all it takes to contest for the position to bring new changes for the development of youth in the overall national development “

Sabi’u Suleiman explained that Rinsola Abiola was aiming at establishing a central unit to support young candidates with many things, from legal advice to campaign branding and materials, geared toward strengthening and consolidating the philosophy of NOT TO YOUNG TO RUN.

” The support we give to this courageous and committed role model is not only for the sake of this contest, No. but also because she intends to enhance youth mainstreaming by supporting not only young candidates but by negotiating to have more young people appointed into positions across the different level of government”

“Clear understanding of youth is what she is proud of. Because she dedicated all of her adult life in advocating for youth. She can engage them, she can convince them and she is one of them. It is indeed the passion for youth development that led her to join politics.”

He added that Rinsola Abiola is committed to youth and women inclusion in politics, she believes in creating spaces for young women and she is unarguably patriotic and detribalized, just like her father chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory.

The Coordinator solicited the support of other well-meaning Nigerians to support the contest of Rinsola Abiola as the national youth leader of the All progressive congress, geared toward building a peaceful Nation.
