The vice president, Yemi Osinbajo has urged the youth arm of the party to put in work in building a stronger membership base from the grassroots.

He stated this when he received a delegation of the APC National Youth Lobby Group, at the Presidential Villa to present the report of the party’s Youth Conference in June this year.

In a statement signed by Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Office of the Vice President, Osinbajo said, “this lobby group will need to deal with the issue of inclusion at the grassroots first.”

According to him, “today, the APC can win elections, why not, we have a very popular President who can control significant votes, we have partners everywhere.

“Whereas, in the coming years, when we do not have such a political leader who is as popular as the President, you are going to need to do the hard work. We can’t assume that the votes will all come in.”
