The Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, has held discussions with Seyi Tinubu as the party intensifies efforts to engage and mobilise young Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting, held on Thursday, was part of ongoing consultations aimed at strengthening cooperation between the Campaign Council and youth-oriented stakeholders in preparation for the 2027 campaign.
Yari described the country’s large youth population as a crucial constituency in communicating the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Speaking during the meeting, which followed Seyi Tinubu’s visit to congratulate him on his appointment, Yari said the Campaign Council would require the active participation of young Nigerians to effectively communicate the administration’s record.
“Young people are not just the future of this country, they are the present. If we are going to tell the true story of what this administration has achieved, from infrastructure to the economy to security, we need the youth population.
“They understand the language of today’s Nigeria in a way that no press statement alone could. My engagement with Seyi Tinubu today was about building bridges. He has consistently demonstrated genuine commitment to youth empowerment, and that is exactly the kind of energy this campaign needs.
“We are not just asking young Nigerians to vote, we are asking them to become ambassadors of the Renewed Hope story in their communities, online and offline.”
The APC campaign council chief also revealed that plans were at an advanced stage for the rollout of a nationwide youth outreach programme.
According to him, the initiative will leverage social media platforms, community-based networks and grassroots party structures to publicise the government’s achievements and address misinformation.
“Every young Nigerian with a phone and a voice is a potential messenger for this administration’s impact. Our job is to equip them with the facts and the platform to tell that story authentically,” he said.
Yari expressed appreciation to Seyi Tinubu for the visit, describing his continued interest in youth empowerment as an indication of confidence in the mandate of the Campaign Council.
He also commended the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, for his cooperation and support for initiatives aimed at strengthening youth participation.
The senator further praised Seyi Tinubu’s efforts to promote youth involvement within the structures of the APC, expressing confidence that greater collaboration would improve the administration’s visibility at the grassroots as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
