Director-General of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Sen. Abdul’aziz Yari,
says youths remain critical to communicating President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda across Nigeria.
A statement issued by Yari’s media office of Yari on Thursday said the former Zamfara governor stated this when he received Seyi Tinubu, the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, and youth mobilisation advocates who visited him in Abuja.
Yari said that young Nigerians were not merely the country’s future but its present, adding that they remained vital to communicating government achievements effectively across communities.
“If we are going to tell the story of this administration’s achievements, our youths will carry that message farthest, fastest and most convincingly,” he said.
The director-general said his meeting with Seyi Tinubu focused on building bridges, noting that his commitment to youth empowerment represented the energy required by the campaign.
He said that the council was not Just asking young Nigerians to vote but also urging them to become ambassadors of the Renewed Hope story in their communities.
Yari disclosed that the council was finalising a nationwide youth outreach framework, using social media, community networks and grassroots structures to amplify achievements and counter misinformation.
“Every young Nigerian with a phone and a voice is a messenger. Our job is to equip them with platforms to communicate authentically,” he added.
The senator thanked Seyi Tinubu for the visit and commitment to youth empowerment, while acknowledging the minister’s partnership on youth engagement initiatives and grassroots mobilisation efforts nationwide.
Earlier, Seyi Tinubu said the visit was to congratulate him on his appointment as the campaign council director-general and to deepen collaboration between the council and youth-focused stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria NAN reports that Seyi Tinubu was accompanied by members of his youth engagement team. (NAN)
