APC TO CONTEND WITH YOUNG PEOPLE TAKING OVER THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE AHEAD OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE

The APC stalwart has insist there's no way any anointed candidate will be alllowed or giving a free hand in the for coming national conference to emerge as a meme ee of the NWC.

Last week’s ‘disbandment’ of Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, by a group in the party further brought the acrimony in the party to a whole new level.

The body, operating on the platform of Progressive Youth Movement, PYM, had said it was dissolving the Buni leadership and replacing it with another under the chairmanship of Prince Mustapha Audu.

Not so long, the party faces a legal battle which include challenging the status quo of its national leadership. This shows that the development isn’t one that should be handled with levity or with a terse press statement which the secretary of the parallel caretaker committee gave in a press statement.

Mr. Tonye Isokariari, discloses the group’s grouse and what it seeks to achieve in APC. He said the party is looking to foster the idea of the young people  and further established a standard for the leaders of tomorrow.

In his words; We are young stakeholders in the party. We all have equal rights in the party and equal responsibility in ensuring the party is successful. We are making sure the party gives young Nigerians a springboard to achieve their dreams.

Basically, we have said we want to have a seat at the table. When you look at the political space, people talk about the lesser evil, especially when it comes to elections. And we have realised that we can’t continue to do the same thing and expect a different result as young people.

What we decided to do is to tackle it at the party level. If we don’t have proper representation as young people at the party level, we can’t move forward. A lot of us at the PYM emerged as a result of the lack of internal party democracy.
