APC convention: All Eees on Saliu Mustapha, Etsu as Buhari hints on youthful leadership
Legit.ng previously reported that President Muhammadu Buhari's open declaration of support for the younger elements contesting party positions in the ruling APC may have shifted attention to two contenders out of the long list of aspirants for the office of the party's national chairman.
President Buhari maintained what some political actors described as a bold position on the internal politics of the party.
While playing host to members of the APC National Lobby Group led by the party's National Youth Leader, Barr. Ishmael Ahmed, at the State House, the president said it was time to give younger elements in the party the benefit of the saddle of leadership in the party.
