The All Progressives Congress (APC) youths in the North-West geopolitical zone have vowed to mobilise votes for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, in the 2023 general election.

At a meeting held on Sunday in Kano, they also vowed to mobilise votes for the party’s governorship candidate in Kano State, Nasiru Gawuna.

APC zonal youth leader (North-West), Abdulhamid Umar, said the meeting was held to support Mr Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

He said the meeting was also held to support Mr Gawuna and all APC candidates at the 2023 general elections.

“We all believe that we must copy from our father, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, in the area of youth participation in politics.

“We believe that he is our father who believes in developing youths in his government.

“With people like Tinubu and Shettima, we are rest assured that the future of our youths is secured.

“We are making it public that our youths will stand firmly during elections and make sure that our party emerges victorious in all parts of the country,’’ he said.

According to Mr Umar, the meeting also reminds opposition political parties that youths of the North-West zone have already decided to vote for progressive people and leaders who believe in human development at all stages of life.

He thanked Seyi Tinubu, the son of APC’s presidential candidate, for his immense efforts and support to ensure that all strategic meetings of the party’s youth wing became possible and successful.

Mr Umar added that new, youth-focused election-winning strategies evolved at the end of the strategy meeting with youth leaders and stakeholders from the 44 local government areas and the 484 wards of Kano State.
