Meanwhile, Dayo Israel, has emerged the national youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and has immediately urged the four others who aspired for that position to join hands with him to move the party forward.

Mr Israel, 36, emerged the party’s consensus candidate for the position after initial opposition by the other aspirants.

The National Youth Leader position is one of the three national working committee offices zoned to the South-west zone of the APC. The other youth leaders who aspired for the post included Temidayo Abdullahi, Moshood Erubami, Ibrahim Alli-Balogun, Olalekan Edwards, Dada Olusegun, and Kareemat Abiola.

“Let’s come together because, in unity we grow,” Mr Israel said in a statement he titled ‘Victory speech.’

“We have a lot to offer for the progress of our party, the youth constituency and Nigeria as a whole.

“I have also set up a committee to help coordinate our first series of events and engagements with young stakeholders and I have approached most of my co-aspirants and blocs including support groups in Abuja to send a representative to serve on that committee.

“I would reach out to others to do same.”

Mr Israel, a former aspirant for the Lagos Mainland chairmanship seat,received the endorsement of Governor Babjide Sanwo-Olu and the Lagos State chapter of the APC ahead of the other aspirants.

He said he entered the race for the national youth leader position with the “sole objective” of spreading greatness to young people in the APC and Nigeria.

“Friends, it was not an easy feat, neither do I take for granted the sacrifices from everyone including my lovely wife, family, friends, party members, co-aspirants and my leaders; but I am delighted that this victory is for us all,” Mr Israel continued in his speech.
