APC Youths Disagree Over Choice Of National Youth Leader, Reject Consensus Candidate

TRIXX NG reports that youths in the all progressive congress have disagreed over the choice of the party’s national youth leader as the national convention of the party is set to hold on Saturday, 26^th Of March, 2022.

It has been reported that the party leadership is trying to impose a consensus candidate, Dayo Israel despite the fact that there are several others who obtained the form to participate in the election.

With the look of things, Dayo Israel seems to have an edge over others, having the endorsement of Lagos politicians and the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and this didn’t sit down well with supporters of other aspirants, most especially Segun Dada, an aspirant who is also popular but doesn’t have the support of major Lagos politicians.

The supporters of the two major aspirants have taken to their social media accounts to disagree on the choice of the national youth leader.

Read some tweets below

DO Olusegun was threatening Osinbajo with convention some months back with the hope that Tinubu would contact him. Lol
Today, Tinubu and his boys are rooting for Dayo Israel while Olusegun is struggling to meet Sanwoolu. Nobody rates a noisemaker. Politics is beyond noise.

I have read about Dayo Israel and yes he has always being a progressive, he worked for APC in 2015 but my conscience told me to support Dada Olusegun and I pray Dada wins.

At the Onikan on Sunday, the rumor had already spread that Dayo Israel was the anointed candidate for the APC youth leader position. Now, it seems official

Good or bad news?Bad one because it’s best for everyone to truly test their popularity. Good because Dayo has paid his dues

I really like DOlusegun camp. They are pushing on despite the 'endorsement' of their rival (Dayo Israel) by Lagos APC.

It is better to contest and lose than to step down cowardly.

Win or Lose, you Learn. I said similar thing about Demola Rewaju after the Lagos PDP race.

The attempt to impose Dayo Israel is already causing harm to the party, some people are bragging about it and calling great members of the APC names, is this the way forward? We need to critically rethink our modus of engagement as a people.
