Ahead of 2019 election, All Progressives Congress, APC Youth Organizing Secretary, Idris Aregbe, has urged youths to form alliance and channel their progressive strategy towards achieving development for Nigeria.

Fielding questions from pressmen yesterday, APC Youth Organizing Secretary, Lagos Chapter, Aregbe, stressed that community leaders and youth organizations must put aside their existing differences and form positive alliances that can trigger effectual changes in the country.

Aregbe lamented that the 2015 election would have serve as the best opportunity for youths to make meaningful impact but differences between them crippled the chances.

“In the last elections, we have circled round without making meaningful impact in the Nigerian polity; so, this is a clarion call for the youths to embrace unity and make our presence felt during the forthcoming general elections, as we cannot continue to sit on the sidelines to wait for incurious minds to superintend over the affairs of our nation.”

Aregbe, who was appointed as Director, Youths and student affairs, Presidential Support Committee, Buhari 2019, (PSC), argued that the youths in the country have necessary skills to assume mantle of leadership, saying, but our differences have been our greatest problem.

“The youths make up over fifty percent of the entire population in Lagos, yet we have failed to effectively employ these numbers to drum up support for our party,” he added.

According to him, the Youth Organising Secretary’s office is willing to work with youths with ingenious ideas and strategies that could be adopted towards winning more votes for the party during 2019 general election.

Aregbe hinted that the strategy should be centered on how best the party could garner over three million votes during the Presidential, National Assembly elections, Governorship and House of Assembly for APC.

He added: “The youths are the prospects of this nation and we cannot achieve our potentials if we fail to unite and harmonize ideas that can drive the country forward to greater heights.



“The time is now for every youth to actively engage in positive programmes and initiatives that can grow the nation forward. We must abandon interests bordered on selfish gains to join progressive platforms built on the foundation of sincere ethos and perceptible ideals capable of creating opportunities for the teeming number of brilliant minds in the country.”

The youth organizing secretary noted that joining a formidable platform is a positive intent in achieving greater efficiency and championing initiatives that can better the lot of the masses.

Speaking on the gains of unity, Aregbe stressed that youth organizations must sheathe their swords and join a platform like APC where their aspirations can come to fruition.

“We have seen what others have done with the sixteen years that they have been in the corridors of power, and we have also witnessed diverse changes in different quarters just within three years and few months of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in power. These encouraging changes are visible and reassuring signs of better things to come, hence we the youths must pool our resources together to support the massive and laudable works championed by the president, vice president as well as our party leaders.”

“If we are the hope of the nation, then I am convinced that every Nigerian youth rooting for the progress of this great nation will come out en-masse to support the continuation of transformation in Lagos and the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari by joining this movement to make Nigeria better and greater,” he enthused.

Aregbe further stated that transformation is a continuous journey driven by men of impeccable wisdom and profound insight similar to those exhibited by the APC.
