Towards the 2023 general elections, FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, has been nominated to head the All Progressives Congress (APC) North Central Youth Campaign Organization.
At the inauguration ceremony held in Abuja, the minister specifically charged the group to positively project the federal government’s programs and policies to improve the youths’ lives.
Aliyu, who commended the APC youths for being part of political processes in Nigeria, also acknowledged that the youth remains the building block of any nation.
She, however, used the occasion to remind the group of the enormous task ahead of the ruling party, the APC. She further stresses that it remains the collective responsibility of the youths to advertise to Nigerians what the incumbent government has done.
“I boldly say that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has provided quite a handful of programmes aimed at improving the youths’ lives and shaping them towards governance and becoming great leaders.
“However, agents of distractions and social media warlords will stop at nothing to pull down the government.
“I, therefore, urge you all to take advantage of your numerical strength to positively project the various policies and programmes provided by the federal government,” she affirmed.
The minister stated that as we advance, Nigerians have much to accomplish together as the ruling party intends to leave behind a lasting legacy for Nigerians.
Speaking earlier, the zonal youth leader of North Central, Hon. Zubair Aliyu said that with the organization’s inauguration, the group had concluded plans to meet the target of mobilising 10 million youths of the 24 million registered voters in the north-central.
He said, “We are ready to mobilise and deliver overwhelming youth votes to coast APC to victory at all levels in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
“We are out for serious electoral business aiming to re-write APC political story in Nigeria politics. We are also out and ready to step up the game to ensure an all-around victory come 2023.”
The event’s high point was the inauguration of the North Central Youth Campaign Organization by the APC National Vice Chairman of North Central, Alhaji Maizu Bawa.
