By Aviashima Toom, Abuja
The Coordinator, Progressives Youth movement, (PYM) Prince Mustapha Audu, has said that, the youth movement of the party has thrown it’s weight behind the Governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker Committee.

Comrade Audu who made the declaration at the party Secretariat in Abuja said the movement is in support of the recent decision of President Muhammad Buhari.

“We are the Progressives Youth movement, the largest youth support group of the All Progressives Congress.

“We are here because there has been various media report regarding the purported sack of the secretary of the party, Sen. James John Akpanudohede. We are here to say that the purported sack can not stand and we are in support of our chairman, his exellency Mai Mala Buni, we are in support of the secretary, Senator James John Akpanudohede and we are in support of Mr President 1000%. Anyone bringing any issue at this critical point is clearly an enemy of the APC, is trying to create confusion”. Prince Audu noted.

“Nine days to the national convention of the party, all hands should be on deck. We saw the letter this morning by our national youth leader, Barr. Ishmeel Ahmed, we believe we should be working hand in hand to deliver for the party and the convention.

“There is no need fighting each other at this stage, all we need is to support the party and chairman to carry out the convention. We are ten million members of this support group and we wholeheartedly in support of Mr President, the caretaker committee chairman and the secretary.

While responding to question from journalist Prince Audu  agreed that the Youths were initially  against the party’s chairman because of the lack of youth inclusion.

” You were all aware that the leadership of the party called us and we had a reconciliatory meeting. Since then I can report to you that we have been carried along in all decisions of the party.

“Young people have been encouraged to participate in the affairs of the party. At least 15 people have purchased forms at the zonal convention and several others to vie for NWC positions. At least  30 members of our support group have been included in the convention planning sub committees.

” Everything we asked for as young people we have been given. So, we don’t want the situation where young people will be seen as causing problems for the party. We are politicians not activists. We reiterate our support for the party, and our convention is 26 March and our concern is how we are going to support the leadership of the party in the next nine days to deliver the convention”, he added.
