Next Chairman Must Understand Nigeria’s Complex Political Architecture – APC Youths

1752768010 APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) youths have stated that the ruling party cannot afford to take chances ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The APC youths noted that the party’s continued dominance in Nigerian politics will depend not only on policies but on the strength and foresight of its internal leadership.

In a statement, the APC Youth Solidarity Network for Progressive Change called on the party to zone the National Chairmanship position to the North-Central.

The APC youth group argued that the choice of National Chairman must be informed by competence, party-building capacity, and an understanding of Nigeria’s complex political architecture.

It also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to back Senator Mohammed Sani Musa for the position.

We are making this patriotic call with the deepest sense of urgency. Senator Sani Musa is not just a ranking senator; he is a party man with deep institutional memory, strong political values, and a clear understanding of how to navigate the future. He combines the idealism of the younger generation with the wisdom and restraint of elder statesmen,” it said.

The group said President Tinubu and Senate President Akpabio, as leaders of the party, must play a unifying role in steering the APC towards a credible internal succession process that will inspire confidence ahead of the next elections.

“2027 is not as far away as it seems. The next National Chairman of the APC will either lead this party into a new era of strategic coherence or preside over its decline. We believe Senator Mohammed Sani Musa is the kind of figure who can inspire cohesion, renew confidence in the party, and restore credibility to the APC’s national secretariat,” the statement reads.

The further noted that Senator Musa’s track record in the Senate, particularly as chairman of key committees on finance, electoral reform, and technology, has shown his capacity to lead with foresight and pragmatism.

The statement warned against allowing political patronage or elite compromise to dictate the future of the party, saying the selection of the next National Chairman must be one rooted in merit, historical understanding, and national projection.
