Ministerial slot reaps APC youths apart, as 30 leaders declare support for Seyi Tinubu

Youths under the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC are currently battling over the emergence of the Minister of Youth.

Some youths have declared support for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, for the position of Minister of Youth, thereby snubbing its National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel.

As contained in a letter dated August 21, titled, “Clarion call for a purposeful minister of youth that is fit for the job,” the youth leaders of the party, from over 30 states, backed Seyi Tinubu.

The youth leaders believe that Seyi deserves to lead as Minister of Youth following his actions during the 2023 elections.

According to them, Seyi, during the elections, “travelled at odd hours to numerous states across federation canvasing support for the success of the Tinubu-led administration.”

The youth leaders are convinced that Seyi is capable of easing the agitations of the youth across the states.

This comes after President Bola Tinubu reassigned Abubakar Momoh from the Youth Ministry to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development following outcry from Nigerians who lamented that Momoh is not a youth.
