Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister of State, 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 programmes and policies of the federal government aimed at improving the lives of the youths.
Aliyu, who commended the APC youths for being part of political processes in Nigeria, also acknowledged that the youths remained the building block of any nation.
She, however, used the occasion to remind the group of the enormous task ahead of the ruling APC, stressing that it remained the collective responsibility of the youths to advertise to Nigerians what the incumbent government has done so far.
“I make bold to say that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has provided quite a handful of programmes aimed at improving the lives of the youths, and to shape them towards governance and becoming great leaders.
“However, agents of distractions and social media warlords will stop at nothing to pull down the government.”
Speaking earlier, the zonal youth leader North Central, Hon. Zubair Aliyu, assured that with the inauguration of the organisation, the group had concluded plans to meet the target of mobilizing 10 million youths of the 24 million registered voters in north central.
He further 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.”
