As political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) appears to be facing growing concerns over the welfare and inclusion of its youths in the Northwest, with the party’s youth leaders holding a strategic meeting in Kaduna.
The youths are said to be concerned that despite their contributions to the party’s electoral successes, they continue to struggle for recognition, adequate welfare and a meaningful voice in its affairs.
Their concerns come at a time when key political parties are expected to rely on young members to mobilise supporters, strengthen grassroots structures and drive campaigns ahead of 2027 general elections.
The meeting brought together APC youth leaders from Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto and Zamfara states under the leadership of the party’s Northwest Zonal Youth Leader, Abdulhamid Umar Moh’d.
When contacted to discuss what transpired in the meeting, Moh’d declined to disclose the details but said the youth leaders were “moving with a single voice and working towards achieving a common goal.”
He did not elaborate on the issues discussed or whether the meeting produced any decisions concerning youth welfare and participation in the party, or support for those running for political offices.
The development comes ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s expected visit to Kaduna and as political parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections.
