The National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dayo Israel, has described the party’s recent National Convention as a resounding success, saying it will foster internal unity and position the the party for victory in the 2027 general elections.
He said the success of the convention which produced a renewed and credible National Working Committee (NWC), is a demonstrated of the party’s organisational strength and readiness for the task ahead,
“The convention reaffirmed the unity of our party and our preparedness for the task ahead,” he said.
Re-elected for a second term, Israel pledged to deepen youth engagement and grassroots mobilisation across the country.
According to him, the convention coming on the heels of successful ward, local government, state, and zonal congresses, has laid a solid foundation for the party’s next phase.
As part of efforts to expand participation, he announced the rollout of a digital mobilisation platform, the SWEEP App, designed to connect members at the polling unit level and enhance grassroots coordination.
He also revealed plans to relaunch the Jagaban Army Movement 2.0 to drive door-to-door voter engagement ahead of future elections.
He said the growing interest among young Nigerians, particularly Gen Z, in joining the APC, can be attributed to sustained outreach and youth-focused initiatives.
Also, he expressed confidence in the ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with gradual economic stabilisation and expanded access to youth-oriented programmes, including student loans and consumer credit schemes.
Israel reiterated party’s commitment to inclusivity, highlighting the increasing participation of women in party structures and leadership.
As well, he reaffirmed the resolve of APC to secure victory in 2027 and ensure the re-election of President Tinubu.
