Nigeria: Gen Z Interested in Our Party - APC Youth Leader

The National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dayo Israel, has said the young Nigerians, particularly Gen Z, have shown interest in joining the APC, attributing the trend to sustained outreach and youth-focused initiatives.

He also revealed plans to relaunch the Jagaban Army Movement 2.0 to drive door-to-door voter engagement ahead of future elections.

Israel stated this against the backdrop of the party's recent national convention which he said has strengthened internal unity and positioning the party for victory in the 2027 general elections.

The youth leader, in a statement from his media office, said the convention demonstrated the party's organisational strength and readiness, noting that it produced a renewed and credible National Working Committee (NWC).

"The convention reaffirmed the unity of our party and our preparedness for the task ahead," he said.

Re-elected for a second term, Israel pledged to deepen youth engagement and grassroots mobilisation across the country.

He emphasised that the convention coming on the heels of successful ward, local government, state, and zonal congresses has laid a solid foundation for the party's next phase.

As part of efforts to expand participation, he announced the rollout of a digital mobilisation platform, the SWEEP App, designed to connect members at the polling unit level and enhance grassroots coordination.

He also revealed plans to relaunch the Jagaban Army Movement 2.0 to drive door-to-door voter engagement ahead of future elections.

Israel noted the growing interest among young Nigerians, particularly Gen Z, in joining the APC, attributing the trend to sustained outreach and youth-focused initiatives.

Also, he expressed confidence in the ongoing reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, citing signs of gradual economic stabilisation and expanded access to youth-oriented programmes, including student loans and consumer credit schemes.

He further reiterated the party's commitment to inclusivity, highlighting the increasing participation of women in party structures and leadership.

Israel reaffirmed the APC's resolve to secure victory in 2027 and ensure the re-election of President Tinubu.
