The National APC Youth Coalition (NAYC) has officially endorsed Ambassador Julius Stanley Aluebhosele, popularly known as the Oba of Youths, for the position of All Progressives Congress (APC) National Vice Chairman, South-South.
At a press conference in Abuja on Friday, the coalition stated that its decision was based on “wide consultations and deliberations” and was anchored on Aluebhosele’s loyalty, grassroots support, and contributions to youth empowerment.
NAYC National Coordinator, Comrade Charles Osagie, commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for “stabilising the APC” and for his youth-friendly policies and appointments, which, he said, “continue to inspire confidence in the future of the nation.”
The group also applauded Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, for what it described as a youth-inclusive style of governance and urged the APC to zone the position of National Vice Chairman (South-South) to Edo.
Highlighting Aluebhosele’s profile, the coalition described him as “a philanthropist, a big employer of labour through Interflash Farms Limited and Affluence Group of Companies, and a committed loyalist of the APC.”
Calling for unity across the region, the NAYC appealed to APC stakeholders in the South-South and beyond to rally behind Aluebhosele’s candidacy to “strengthen the region’s voice and deepen youth inclusion in party leadership.”
The coalition pledged to mobilise support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu while working “tirelessly for the progress of the APC and the advancement of democracy in Nigeria.”
“With one voice,” the communiqué read, “the National APC Youth Coalition formally endorses Ambassador Julius Aluebhosele as the most qualified and unifying candidate for the office of APC National Vice Chairman (South-South).”
