APC Youths To Hold Town Hall Meetings In Osun

The All Progressives Youth Forum (APYF) in Osun  state  will from the 10th to the 24th February, 2018 hold Town Hall Meetings across the state.

The meeting according to a press statement signed by the state Cordinator, Comrade Olateju Olorungbebe Adunni is convoked to brainstorm on certain issues affecting the party.

He explained that the meeting is geared towards five key areas of interest to further deepen political participation and fight for basic interests of Youths in the state chapter of the party.

His words “The town hall meeting is an opportunity for us- Osun APC Youths to interact intimately with political appointees and party leaders  at the grassroot, to assemble and discuss our basic interests, to vent our grouses/ grievances before party leaders, to proffer solution to internal tension threatening our cohesion and band together irrespective of our “political self-interest” and swing into the activities that will cement our place in the history as the political nucleus of Osun APC.”

The Osun Coordinator of the APYF added that “As youths, we have always complained that we are marginalized and our voices are not heard in spite of our numerical strength which confers electoral advantage on the party “if we are united”. Sadly and consequently, some aggrieved youths resort to anti-party activities, some by virtue of conscience, stand akimbo and grumble silently.”

Adunni who explained that the forum is not an avenue for members of the party campaign for their governorship aspirants said the motive of meeting was to create  direction for Osun APC Youth.

“We want to make it abundantly clear that the Town Hall Meeting is not a sounding board to drum support or mobilise for governorship ambition of any of the aspirants. In the light of this, we urge members of the forum on the need for them to  drop their ‘ self interest’ during the town hall meeting in the interest of the party

He appealed to members of the forum and the entire party members who are yet to get  their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to go and register so as to be able to vote in the coming election
