KWARA 2019: APC Youth Caucus Demands For Deputy Gov Slot

The Youth caucus of All Progressives Congress (APC) Kwara State chapter under the aegis Of “coalition of Kwara Youth Leaders”  has demanded for the slot of deputy governor who they expected to be someone below 50 years of age to serve as running mate to the governorship candidate of the party Alhaji Abdulrasaq Abdulraman who is already over 50 years of age.

In a press statement released by the group, they said the party should be sensitive to the yearning of young people for inclusion in politics and governance and also considering the candidate of their opponent who is a younger person.

They said the only way to compliment Abdulrasak candidacy is to have a young and vibrant Christian running mate from the southern part of Kwara.

“We are aware of various pamutation ongoing by older politicians in the State to be a running mate to Abdulrasak, saying that the interest of the young people is sacrosanct and must not be taking for granted because they constituted a large percentage of the voters and crusaders of liberation in the State”

The coalition group however said a candidate above 50 years of age will not be acceptable by them because it simply mean youth are not value in the party. And they will rather go to the party that take their interest serious.
