Fidelis David in Akure
Youth leaders of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the South-west have warned the leadership of the party against shifting the date of the party’s national convention that has been scheduled to hold in February 2022.Addressing newsmen yesterday at the APC’s state secretariat in Akure, the Acting South-west Youth Leader of APC, Mr. Kolade Lawal, said   that youths in the South-west are already looking forward to February for the conduct of the national convention.Lawal said: “We are upbeat and are already mobilising massively ahead of the convention.

We are confident that our national leaders, being men of honour, will allow the party stick to its own promise and let our word be our bond.“We ask the party leadership not to listen, let alone accede, to the cacophony of sponsored suggestions in some quarters that the February 2022 date be still pushed forward to a later date.“The people making this dangerous suggestion are familiar retrogressive voices who do not mean well for our party.

They and their suggestions should be thrashed in the dustbin of history.”He said the party leadership should remain steadfast on the choice of February as the definite date for the conduct of the convention, stressing that anything short of it might not be good for the party.

“For sure and certain, the next national convention is a make or mar for the APC. Whether the APC will continue to remain united, indissoluble, big and strong is firmly predicated on the kind and quality of decision our leaders take at the convention in February.“Our leaders should therefore be careful not to play cheaply into the hands of some doomsday prophets who have wildly predicted the end of our party in a short-while.”
