Ahead of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee, NEC, meetings of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, scheduled for today and tomorrow, youths of the party have written the two bodies highlighting the challenges that could mar its electoral successes in the 2019 general elections.
In the letter sighted by Vanguard, they specifically asked both the National Caucus and the NEC to encourage President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately declare his ambition for 2019 in order to lay to rest the scheming and mudslinging that have continued to threaten the fabric of the party and the administration.
While urging President Buhari to take more than a passing interest in the affairs of the party, the youths lamented a situation whereby the party lacked the requisite financial base to meet its daily obligations.
The APC Youth Solidarity Network in a ‘Position Paper’ it sent to the NEC and Caucus is also seeking the immediate sack of all appointees of the past Peoples Democratic Party PDP-led administration and their consequent replacement with members of the APC.
It reads: “Many federal government boards, agencies and parastatals appointees who were put in office by the immediate-past administration are still in office, they are not loyal to the APC which they feel had no hand in their emergence. There is need to quickly review these appointments and replace them with qualified APC members. Vacant positions should thereafter be quickly filled with APC members who feel frustrated because they seem not to have benefitted from the victory of their party.” It is also very necessary that these appointments have the heavy input of the APC national leadership to ensure that the right persons who worked for the Party are appointed”, the youths stated in the memo signed by Danesi Momoh Prince.
This is coming on the heels of a meeting of the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and chairmen of all the state chapters Sunday in Abuja to fine-tune strategies and evolve a common front for the all-important NEC and Caucus meetings.
