Minister of Youth's slot tears APC caucus apart, as 30 leaders back Seyi Tinubu

Youths who are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are split over who should be named the new minister of youth.

According to Vanguard, while a faction of the APC youth leaders declared their support for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, another bloc chose Dayo Israel, the national youth leader.

Legit.ng sighted a letter dated Monday, August 21. In the letter, the youth leaders of the party from over 30 states backed Seyi.

They argue that Seyi is deserving of the post because he “painstakingly strengthened" the youth wing of the APC.

Additionally, they claimed that the nomination of Seyi would be favourable, because he understands the importance of a viable ministry of youth.

It is still unclear if the president will yield to the request of the APC youth leaders.
