National Secretary re-election: APC Youth Network West Africa backs Sen. Basiru

APC Youth Network West Africa (formerly APC Youth Wing West Africa) has thrown its weight behind the re-election of Senator Ajibola Basiru as the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the forthcoming National Convention.

The endorsement reflects the group’s firm belief in his proven leadership capacity, administrative competence, and unwavering commitment to strengthening the institutional structure and unity of the party.

Speaking on the endorsement, Director-General of the group, Gideon Olatunde Igbasan, said: “Senator Basiru’s tenure as National Secretary has been defined by consistency, discipline, and a deep understanding of party administration. His contributions have played a critical role in enhancing internal coordination, reinforcing party structures, and sustaining organisational stability across all levels.

“As a youth-driven network committed to progressive governance and inclusive political participation, we emphasise the importance of continuity in leadership—particularly at a time when strategic consolidation remains vital to the party’s future.

“We also acknowledge and commend his openness to youth engagement, as well as his efforts in fostering stronger collaboration between party leadership and young stakeholders across Nigeria and the diaspora.

“Senator Ajibola Basiru has demonstrated exceptional administrative capacity, institutional loyalty, and a clear understanding of party structure. At this critical stage, continuity is not just desirable—it is necessary for stability, consolidation, and sustained progress within the All Progressives Congress.

“As a youth-driven network, we strongly believe that his re-election will further strengthen internal coordination and deepen inclusive engagement across all levels of the party.

“In light of these considerations, APC Youth Network West Africa (formerly APC Youth Wing West Africa) respectfully calls on all delegates and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress to support his re-election in the collective interest of continuity, stability, and sustained progress.”
