The All Progressives Congress (APC ) Northwest youth Leader, Abdulhamid Umar Mohammad has said that the highest number of votes for the party's presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu will come from the youths.
While describing the Northwest as a deciding factor and stronghold to cruise the party's presidential candidate, to victory in 2023 General elections, Mohammad however, noted that there is need to carry more youths from the region along in the party affairs, because they have been working tirelessly to mobilize grassroot support for the party's canditates.
The APC youth leader said, going by the the number of Permanent Voters Card, PVC registrants, the region has the highest number of total registered voters of about 22 million and youth constitutes about 70 percent of the new registration accross the country.
According to Mohammad, "going by our calculations, we plan to get about 50 percent block votes from youths in the northwest for Tinubu/ Shetima in 2023. If we combine that with other targeted votes (from elderly people) that we have been making efforts to mobilize, then this will amount to about 10 to 12 million votes from the Northwest region alone."
He said " the region, which is now competitive has been a stronghold of the APC and it is one of the deciding factors to cruise the party to victory in 2023 presidential elections. However, more youths from the Northwest should carried along because, we have started a grassroot campaign like never before for the party.
We are familiar with the Northwestern politcal terrain as youths that worked to garner support for president Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019 in the region and we need to be heard."
Mohammad who said since the completion of the voters registration execerise that saw the rise in number of youths who partook in the excercise, also maintained that youth leaders accross the northwestern states under his leadership have welcomed more youths into APC in Northwest .
