The All Progressives Congress, APC Youth Leaders, and Stakeholders have urged aggrieved party members to take their grievances to the Abdulahi Adamu-led National Reconciliation Committee for amicable settlement before the convention.
Hon Bolaji Hafiz Repete, Deputy National Youth Leader in a press briefing held at the party’s national Secretariat said they commend the President for accepting February 2022 for the national convention and for giving youths the opportunity for leadership position in the party.
He said youth should also be accorded space in the NEC and NWC so that they can be given a sense of belonging in the party.
His words: ” As the leadership of the party, we welcome and applaud the decision of the President, the Progressives Governors’ Forum, and all other critical stakeholders of the party to have our National Convention in February 2022, this we believe is in the best interest of the party.
“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 the inclusion of more Youth in the National Executive Committee (NEC) in the February 2021 Elective Convention”, he noted.

He said 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 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.
“In conclusion, the Youth leadership of APC hereby call on all Party stalwarts at every level to please put the interest of the party first because promoting personal interest will only lead to the destruction of the party”, he said.
