Youths Decry Inclusion Of Politicians Children In APC Presidential Campaign Council
POLITICS DIGEST- A coalition of APC youths in Kano state under the leadership of Sadiq Ali Sango has condemned the inclusion of children of some notable politicians in the youth wing of APC Presidential Campaign Council.
This is coming after the party released the list of young statesmen, which is largely occupied by children of APC bigwigs, including children of President Muhammadu Buhari, Yusuf and Zahra, son of APC presidential candidate Seyi Tinubu, and that of his running mate Amir Kashim Shettima, children of governors of Kaduna, Yobe, Zamfara, Borno among others.
While addressing journalists in Kano, on Sunday, the chairman of the coalition, Comrade Sadiq Ali Sango, expressed dissatisfaction with the way APC is taking the youth that worked and helped the party for granted.

Sango said, there are thousands of young people that risked their lives during 2015 and 2019 elections for APC to succeed, but after elections they were abandoned by those who are supposed to carry them along in all party activities.
Comrade Sadiq Ali Sango explained that “After spending our time, energy, and resources for APC, in 2015 and 2019, but we were sidelined in all party activities, but we continue to support the APC at all levels.”
“They did not give us any appointment, nor opportunities to benefit us, but ended up in bringing their children to replace the people who worked tirelessly for them. This is very unfortunate.”
“In Kano son of the current governor is contesting for house of reps seat, likewise in Kaduna, while the children of the masses who are electorates are struggling to study, while graduates are finding it difficult to get jobs.”
“We are in democratic system not traditional system which is based on hereditary, we are masses, and we are the electorates. Therefore we are going to mobilize our people to push out any candidate that involve his children in any political activities”
