“You must mobilise the electorate to ensure that they come out en mass to vote for the right candidate and I believe you know who I am referring to. The APC with the good support of the youth is the party to beat."

He said their participation in the forthcoming elections will prove vital and impactful if they participate fully in the forthcoming elections.

“Our great founding fathers of blessed memory, including Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, and Obafemi Awolowo were in their primes as youths when they took the mantle of leadership of the country." The youths of today could do same if they are determined,” he said.

Sadique said:
“The benefits is beyond politics because it will help in drawing the attention of youths to the challenges of our time.
“It will also help in making them realise that they have an important role to play in defining the character of our society today.

He lauded the organisers as well as the APC national youth leader, Temidayo Abdullahi for putting up such an initiative for the convergence of youths across the federation.
