The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) party has undergone a significant transformation, handing over its entire party structure to the leadership of the youths. This historic decision was spearheaded by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, who has placed his trust in the capacity and potential of the younger generation.
For the first time in the history of Nigerian politics, a youth under the age of 40 has been entrusted to lead a top-five national political party as its National Chairman. This move is seen as a direct answer to the prayers of Nigerian youths, who have long been marginalized and sidelined in the leadership of the country.
The newly appointed National Chairman, Barr. Ezeokenwa Sly Jr., is one of the youngest individuals to hold such a high-ranking position in Nigerian politics. Sly has firmly committed to transforming APGA into a youth-oriented political party, where aspirants will be selected based on their age, merit, and competence.
According to the National Youths Leader of APGA, Comr. Eze Onyebuchi Chukwu (Delaw), this new direction is a testament to the party’s dedication to empowering the youth. Chukwu stated, “For the first time in the history of Nigeria politics, a Youth yet to be 40 years was trusted enough to lead a top five National Political Party as it’s National Chairman. This, of course, is an answered prayer to the Youths of Nigeria who have over the years been marginalized and tactically sidelined in the leadership of any kind in the country.”
The APGA Youths Assembly (AYA), which represents the party’s youth wing, has expressed unwavering support for Sly Ezeokenwa, stating that he is the embodiment of the new order that the party has embraced. They have also voiced their concerns about the attempts to destabilize APGA by individuals such as Chief Edozie Njoku, whom they believe represents the old order of desperation and impunity.
The APGA youths have made it clear that they will not trade this newfound trust and opportunity for any political gimmicks. They are committed to standing firm behind Sly Ezeokenwa and the party’s vision of empowering the youth and fostering a more inclusive and merit-based political landscape in Nigeria.
