The youngest member of Contact and Mobilization of APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) during 2019 elections Abdulhamid Umar Muhammad, has formally declared his intention to contest for the office of All Progressives Congress (APC) Northwest Zonal Youth Leader in the forthcoming party’s congress.
The young aspirant from Nassarawa local government of Kano state made the declaration while addressing thousands of youths from Northwest during a political event that took place at Tourist Camp in Kano. According to him, time has come for the youths to take their rightful positions in the nation’s polity for effectiveness and liberation of the Nigerian youth.
He explained that his decision to vie for the post is in line with Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s call for youth to rise up and participate in both governance and politics.
“Our participation in this struggle is but an effort to respond to the call made by our people’s governor, the governor of Kano state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, that youth must wake up and participate fully in politics at all levels.”
“Governor’s call is genuine, looking at the appreciable youth participation in his government. Baba Ganduje has always been a beacon for hope and a greatest mentor for youth development,” he said.
He boasted that, “Being the youngest member of Contact and Mobilization of APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), 2019, as well as a member of the World Youth Assembly, I think I stand a better chance for this position. This is all about serving humanity and strengthening party politics.”
In his formal declaration, he said, “Today, after continued and extensive consultations, I wish to present myself to the members of our great party, the APC, especially the teeming youth of our dear zone, to vie for the position of the APC Northwest Zonal Youth Leader, at the forthcoming Extraordinary National Convention.”
