The APGA Youth Assembly threw its weight behind Sly Ezeokenwa on Tuesday, endorsing him as their preferred candidate for the position of national chairman.<\/p>\n
The endorsement is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the national leader of the group, Eze-Onyebuchi Chukwu.<\/p>\n
The youths warned against electing \u2018\u2019desperate politicians into the sensitive office of the national chairman of the party.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAPGA has never been a youth party until Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo came on board and found trust in the capacity of the youths.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time in the history of Nigerian politics, someone below 40 years was trusted enough to lead a top-five national political party as its national chairman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, of course, is an answered prayer to the youths of Nigeria who have over the years been marginalised in the leadership of any kind in the country,\u201d said the group.<\/p>\n
He said it would not augur well for youths and the party to throw away the opportunity to be led by a visionary youth.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it is Sly Ezeokenwa we know; Edozie Njoku (another contestant) we don\u2019t know. Sly Ezeokenwa has constantly reiterated his resolve to turn APGA into a youth-oriented political party,\u201d the group added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
