About Us

  • The inception of the APC National Youth Wing dates back to the formation of the All Progressives Congress in 2013. Recognizing the importance of youth engagement in politics, the party established a dedicated wing to address the unique needs and aspirations of the Nigerian youth. Since its establishment, the Youth Wing has been led by dynamic and visionary individuals committed to harnessing the potential of young Nigerians in driving positive change. Notably, Hon. Ibrahim Dasuki Jalo-Waziri assumed the position of the first National Youth Leader in 2014, setting the tone for a vibrant and proactive youth wing, and moving to Hon Sodiq Abubakar and Hon Ismael Ahmed. In 2022, the leadership baton was passed to Dr. Dayo Israel-Abdulai, who brought fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the National Youth Wing. Under his stewardship, the Youth Wing has continued to be a driving force within the APC, contributing significantly to the success of the party in the 2023 elections.
