Ramatu Aliyu, the FCT Minister of State, has said that youths across the federation have welcomed and accepted the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The FCT minister said that the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu, will become victorious next February.
Aliyu made this revelation in Abuja, the nation’s capital on Monday when she received Paul Ogudu, the former National Youth Leader of the Action Democratic Party, ADP, into the APC.
She said the defection was a confirmation of the strength of the ruling political party in preparation for the 2023 elections.
Aliyu declared that every political platform has two legs – the youths and women – and that one of the two legs has decided to join the APC youth fold.
“A single decision of a youth in this country matters. We said it is youth O’clock, youths have awaken to their responsibility. They have embraced APC in totality.
The minister has sent message of advice to citizens who aspire for the best for young Nigerians to come and join the party and implore the former youths leader to motivate others to toe his path.
“I thank you for making the right decision at the right time. I urge you to use your privileged position to show others the road to victory.
“We believe in continuity and by the special grace of God, our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will be President of Nigeria in 2023″, Aliyu added.
