Want increase representation in NEC
BY AUGUSTINE AVWODE
To ensure that the planned national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress is not jeopardised, the youth leaders and other stakeholders of the party have appealed to all aggrieved members to take their grievances to the party’s national reconciliation committee headed by Senator Abdulahi Adamu.
Addressing the press on Sunday at the APC National Secretariat, deputy national youth leader, Bolaji Hafiz, in the company of six zonal youth leaders, state youth leaders-elect, leaders of youth support groups and other critical youth stakeholders of the party, applauded the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari, the Progressives Governors’ Forum and all other critical stakeholders of the party to hold the national convention in February 2022, saying it was in the best interest of the party.
It added that “The APC youth leadership also encourage all members of the party with any form of discontent to take advantage of the National Reconciliation Committee headed by H.E. Senator Abdulahi Adamu to air their grievances and seek adequate recompense rather than slugging it out on the pages of newspapers, social media, television or radio stations.
“The youth leadership, therefore, recognized the opportunity given to youth in leadership positions at the Wards, Local Governments and States Congresses and also appeal for inclusion of more youth in the National Executive Committee (NEC) in the February 2022 Elective Convention.
“The youth leadership is using this opportunity to encourage youth in the party to present themselves for elective positions in the forthcoming National Convention.”
The youths appealed to “all party stalwarts at every level to please put the interest of party first because promoting personal interest will only lead to the destruction of the party,” they pleaded.
