The Asiwaju Patriotic Youth Alliance (APYA), a duly registered APC youth support group with the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja, commands a followership of over 2.5 million members across the 774 Local Government Areas of Nigeria.
We are fully aware of your long-standing loyalty to the ideals you believe in—principles that have kept you committed to the PDP over the years. However, in view of the prevailing political realities and the current state of the PDP, which has left many progressives politically stranded, the time has come to place Nigeria above party lines.
Your wealth of experience, political acumen, and unwavering commitment to youth development are urgently needed in the service of our nation. We salute your outstanding contributions to grassroots mobilisation, youth empowerment, and community development.
Your leadership journey has inspired countless young Nigerians and earned you admiration across political divides.
Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads, and your name continues to resonate as a symbol of hope—especially among youths and grassroots activists who have directly benefited from your tireless efforts. It is in this spirit that we, members of APYA, respectfully and passionately call on you to consider joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) and to lend your energy, vision, and credibility to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” Agenda, particularly towards the successful actualisation of his re-election bid in 2027.
Why Joining the APC Makes Sense—for You and for Nigeria
1. Alignment with a National Vision:
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda prioritises inclusive growth, job creation, youth empowerment, and the strengthening of democratic institutions. Your proven capacity in mobilising young voters and executing impactful community programmes aligns seamlessly with this vision.
2. Amplifying Your Impact:
As a leading figure in Nigeria’s youth movement, the APC offers you a broader and more effective platform to influence policy, shape legislation, and attract resources for grassroots initiatives in education, agriculture, and digital empowerment.
3. Unity Over Division:
The internal crises within the PDP have left many of your supporters searching for a stable and progressive political home. Your movement to the APC would send a strong message that national unity and collaboration must supersede partisan deadlock.
4. A Seat at the Decision-Making Table:
Your leadership roles in the union movement, the Clean Rivers, Bright Futures project, the Youth for Progress initiative, and your advocacy for the National Youth Development Programme are assets of immense value. Your voice is crucial in shaping Nigeria’s next political chapter.
A Snapshot of Your Achievements and the Value You Bring to the APC
- Youth Mobilisation: Successfully coordinated over 150,000 first-time voters in the last general election, significantly boosting turnout in key swing states.
- Community Development: Led the Clean Rivers, Bright Futures initiative, providing clean water to 30 rural communities.
- Advocacy: Championed the passage of the National Youth Employment Programme, creating thousands of job opportunities for Nigerian graduates.
- Public Service Excellence:
- As Senior Special Assistant on Students’ Affairs to President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, you implemented impactful programmes that touched students on campuses and at home nationwide—earning you recognition as one of the most effective SSAs on Students’ Affairs in Nigeria’s history.
- As President of NANS, your tenure was marked by campus orientation programmes, student empowerment initiatives, and unprecedented access between Nigerian students and the Presidency.
- As Deputy Secretary-General of the Pan-Africa Youth Union (PYU), you ensured Nigeria’s strong and visible presence at the continental and global levels of youth engagement.
These achievements are not mere statistics—they are clear evidence of your capacity to translate vision into measurable results. Bringing this experience into the APC will further strengthen President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and deepen the party’s grassroots credibility.
Comrade Jude, the moment has arrived to step into a broader arena where your passion can directly shape policy and where your legacy can be permanently etched into the story of a prosperous and united Nigeria. The APC stands ready to welcome you, and we are prepared to work alongside you in building a brighter future for our nation.
We look forward to seeing you on the right side of history.
Warm regards,
