The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) New Generation, a pressure group under the party, is set to unveil a youth campaign council for the governorship election in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo states, respectively.
A statement signed by its National Secretary, Mr Olawale Idris, noted that the National Executive Council of PDP New Generation, led by the Director General, Audu Mahmood, has approved the composition of 3 Youth Gubernatorial Campaign Councils (YGCC) for Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo state respectively.
According to Olawale, the development aligns with the organisation’s tradition to create a platform for youth participation in political activities across the country with a commitment to the growth and development of democracy in Nigeria.
Part of the statement read:
“Each of the state campaign councils will have ten youths from every local government of the three states, respectively, for the ward-to-ward campaign and grassroots mobilisation across every local government.
“Every of the council will be led by a Chairman and will all have the PDP, National Youth Leader, Prince Muhammed Suleiman Kadade, MON, as the Patron of each youth campaign council.
“Just as we performed during the 2022 Ekiti and Osun Guber elections, as well as the 2023 general elections, the youth campaign councils will focus both on online and grassroots campaign activities.
“The only mandate of the council will be to deliver the PDP governorship candidates of Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo state, respectively.
“The list will be unveiled in some few days to come. As we look forward to the November 11 election, it is our hope that the PDP Governorship candidates will come out victorious.”
The PDP New Generation is an organisation established to promote and preserve the unity, integrity and ideology of the People’s Democratic Party, committed to the growth and development of democracy in Nigeria.
