North Central Youths Mobilise 100-Man Delegation to Lobby Akpabio for Sani Musa’s Emergence as APC National Chairman

Published

A coalition of youth groups drawn from over 1,000 All Progressives Congress (APC) support organisations in Nigeria’s North Central region has announced plans to dispatch a 100-man delegation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, urging him to back Senator Mohammed Sani Musa for the position of APC National Chairman.

The decision was reached during an emergency meeting held in Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital, on Thursday, where the youth leaders gathered to discuss the political future of the North Central geopolitical zone and the need for strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by Comrade Dan Okwa, the convener of the North Central APC Youth Vanguard, the groups reaffirmed their commitment to the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and declared that delivering on that objective would require a strong, pragmatic, and politically astute party leadership.

“We believe that the North Central must not only be heard but must be seen at the table of power. As we prepare for 2027, it is imperative that we reorganise our internal political architecture and present one of our most credible and tested hands to lead the APC,” the group said.

According to the coalition, Senator Sani Musa, who currently represents Niger East in the National Assembly and chairs the Senate Committee on Finance, has over the years demonstrated the type of loyalty, foresight, and grassroots understanding necessary to stabilise and reposition the ruling party for electoral success.

“He is a man who understands the inner workings of the APC, appreciates its vision, and has shown unwavering commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda,” Okwa added.

“This is why we are sending a 100-man delegation to visit the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, within the week, to present our case and solicit his support for this important mission.”

While the youth coalition acknowledged that other prominent aspirants from the North Central, including former Nasarawa governor Senator Tanko Al-Makura, have shown interest in leading the party, it said Sani Musa represents a generational bridge who combines experience with a forward-looking perspective.

“We respect all aspirants, especially Senator Al-Makura, who is a respected elder and party builder. But we strongly believe that at this critical point in our national life, the APC needs a younger, dynamic, and unifying figure who can galvanise the party base, particularly the youth. That person is Senator Sani Musa,” the communiqué stated.

The groups also used the opportunity to call on elders and political stakeholders within the APC, especially from the North Central region, to prevail on Senator Sani Musa to officially declare interest in the national chairmanship position and lead the effort to consolidate the region’s influence in national politics.

According to Okwa, the delegation to Akpabio will present a detailed petition containing resolutions from the youth summit and a breakdown of the strategic role the North Central zone has played in sustaining the APC since its inception.

“From massive voter mobilisation to defending the party during difficult times, the North Central has always stood by the APC. We believe now is the time for the party to reward loyalty and capacity,” he said.

The youth coalition also vowed to intensify mobilisation across the North Central states and the FCT ahead of the APC National Convention, while reiterating that their campaign is not just about regional inclusion, but about strengthening party discipline, rebuilding trust, and preparing the APC for future victories.

“We will engage key leaders across the zones, not just in the North Central. This is about the future of the APC, and we believe Senator Sani Musa is the man to lead us into that future,” Okwa concluded.

The delegation is expected to meet with Senate President Akpabio later this week in Abuja.

Renewed Hope Group Welcomes Tinubu’s Appointment of Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach

Published

on

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network (RHAN) has described the appointment of Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (South West zone) as a well-earned recognition of merit, loyalty, and proven capacity.

In a statement released today and signed by its Convener, Opialu M. Opialu, the grassroots organisation praised President Bola Tinubu for entrusting the strategic role to a man widely regarded as one of his most dependable and longest-serving political allies.

“Rt. Hon. James Faleke’s appointment is the logical elevation of a tested hand who has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, organisational brilliance, and rock-solid loyalty to President Tinubu and the Renewed Hope project,” Opialu stated.

The statement highlighted Faleke’s critical contribution during the 2023 presidential campaign, where he served as National Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

Describing the lawmaker as the engine room coordinator of nationwide mobilisation efforts, the group credited him with bridging ethnic, regional, and ideological divides, galvanising party structures, and sustaining momentum even amid intense opposition.

“Despite daunting challenges, he never flinched. His strategic mind, tireless work ethic, and unshakeable belief in Asiwaju’s vision were decisive factors in delivering the Tinubu-Shettima victory,” the statement added.

RHAN also underscored Hon. Faleke’s legendary loyalty, noting that for over two decades he has remained a consistent pillar of support for President Tinubu across multiple political battles and campaigns.

“In an era when political fidelity is increasingly rare, Rt. Hon. Faleke stands out as a shining example of principle, sacrifice, and steadfastness.

“His faithfulness has inspired countless party members and remains one of the strongest proof to the enduring bond between him and our President,” Opialu remarked.

On the legislative front, the statement celebrated Faleke’s distinguished record as the representative of Ikeja Federal Constituency.

Looking ahead, RHAN expressed confidence that Faleke’s wealth of experience will now supercharge grassroots engagement, strengthen party structures in the South West, and deepen national support for the implementation of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“We are convinced that this appointment will inject fresh energy into our mobilisation efforts and set the stage for even greater electoral and governance successes in the years ahead,” Opialu concluded.

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network wished Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke “resounding success” in his new assignment and prayed for continued wisdom, strength, and divine guidance as he discharges his duties.
