The wife of the Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has said youths and women are vital agents for the electoral victory of the party.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tinubu spoke at the Progressive Young Leaders’ Summit organised by the Office of the APC National Youth Leader at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
She urged members of the party’s youth wing to mobilise their peers in the 774 local government areas of the country for the success of the party’s presidential candidate.
Tinubu was represented by the wife of APC vice presidential candidate, Hajiya Nana Kassim Shettima.
Tinubu acknowledged the role of young people in promoting the party.4
She urged them to concentrate their efforts on grassroots mobilisation.
Tinubu said, “Right from the formation of the APC, young people have been at the forefront of promoting our party and our candidates. Even now, with campaigns yet to kick off, the youth energy can be felt with the many youth-led initiatives promoting the candidature of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
“I hereby urge all our youth leaders and youth-focused support groups, many of whom are represented here today, to ensure that efforts to mobilise support for the Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign are targeted at the grassroots – right from our polling units to our wards and local governments – as that is where the real voters area.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a track record of uplifting and supporting young people, and I am confident that this will not change when he becomes President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Engage your peers so that they understand that the decision of who to vote for must be taken seriously. Nigeria is too important to be left to people without sufficient experience, a clear progressive vision, and a verifiable track record of leadership that delivers meaningful results.”
