Group Wants Youth As APC National Chairman

Not Too Young To Perform (NTYTP), a leadership advocacy group, say it wants the All Progressives Congress (APC), to elect a young, incorruptible Nigerian as its next national chairman.
The National Coordinator of NTYTP, Mr James Ezema, made the appeal in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ezema stressed the need to consider the youth for more appointive and elective positions, to enable them contribute their quota to governance and development.
He said the group was building the capacity of the youth as an alternative to older generation of politicians, whom according to him, have failed to fix the country.
He appealed to the APC to remember the campaign promises it made ahead of the 2015 General Elections that brought it to power.
“As a group that advocates exceptional performance in governance, the best and incorruptible young Nigerian with capacity, should be given opportunity to be the next APC national chairman,’’ he said.
 He noted that Nigerians elected President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019, because of his incorruptible posture.
Ezema said this fight against corruption must continue with the election of a young, incorruptible person as APC’s next national chairman.
“Without any ambiguity, Nigerians came out to support President Buhari in 2015, simply because of his avowed clean and unblemished records.
“And up till date no case or cases of corruption have been traced to his person,” he said.
According to Ezema, the onus is on the President, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and other APC stakeholders, to take into cognisance records of those who will become the party’s next national chairman, as well as other executives.
He also stated that all eyes were on Buhari to make his word his bond in the fight against corruption in the country, by ensuring that the incoming state and national leaders of the party had no corruption baggage.
