The youth wing said since assuming office 18 months ago, the youth leader Isreal, had had extensive international exposure and possessed remarkable antecedents, impressive profile, and excellent leadership skills that qualified him for the position.

The youth wing, in statement issued on Monday signed by its deputy national youth leader Jamaludeen Kabir, and  all zonal leaders, including Oluwaseun Oguntade and Mogaji Olatunde who are APC youth wing members.

The youth wing said Israel’s commitment and contributions during the party’s presidential campaigns further demonstrated his dedication, noting that his appointment would greatly benefit Nigerian youths and the nation as a whole.

The statement reads, “Just like his colleague, Beta Edu, the former woman Leader of the APC who was appointed Minister of Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation to represent her gender, we are confident that Isreal is the best to lead the youth.

“Dayo Israel has shown capacity, especially in his role as National Youth Leader of the party, his success and immense achievements cannot be over-emphasised.

“His commitment and contributions during our party’s presidential campaigns further demonstrate his dedication to our cause. I believe his appointment would greatly benefit Nigerian youths and the nation as a whole.

“We urge President Tinubu to consider this young energetic man given the chance to serve as the minister of youth, as his colleague Beta was given the opportunity to represent her gender well. We believe in the President and his government as a listening leader.”
