Igbo Youth Assembly Backs Akume For APC Nat’l Chairman, Nwaudunna For South-East Youth Leader 

A GROUP known for promoting National unity and peace, Igbo Youth Assembly Worldwide has backs His Excellency, Senator George Akume for National Chairman of All Progressives Congress.
In a recent press release signed by the Secretary General and Publicity secretary, Casmir Irekamba and Comrade Chidi chilo
IYA worldwide described the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume, as the most qualified person to be the next national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The secretary General of the group, Casmir Irekamba, stated this in Abuja while virtual General Assembly meeting of Igbo Youth Assembly Worldwide.
He said Akume as a seasoned bureaucrat and having served as a two-term governor of Benue State, third -term senator, as well as serving minister, is in a better position to take over the affairs of the party from Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
IYA Worldwide scribe, said Senator Akume possesses the top qualities required to be the next chairman of the party. The leadership qualities he would bring with him as chairman of the APC are many and inexhaustible. But there are those that are germaine in leading the APC to victory as the party forges ahead.
IYA worldwide maintains that Akume understands the messages encapsuled in the constitution and ideology of the party. He as national chairman knows that his job does not include forming any policy thrust for the party, he would gardly be a liability for this.
He would hardly even be seen ruminating publicly about public policy. Akume would as chairman only be seen echoing the position of the president, who is the leader of the party. This would be a complete departure from the past where party chairmen are in conflict with the president over policy issues.
Akume as the APC chair will deliver to the party the demonstrative mastery of machine politics and proving in the process effective as a fixer-footsoldier to the party.
Mr Irekamba gave reasons for their endorsement of George Akume saying, “because of his wealth of experience as a former Governor of Benue State for 8 years, 3rd term Senator and served as minority leader in the Senate and Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is the most qualified for the number one office of the APC.”
“We are calling on all APC card carrying members across the country to support George Akume ahead of the 2021 APC National Convention so that he will continue to bring more innovative ideas for the benefit of the party and Nigerians,” Casmir Irekamba added.
Igbo Youth Assembly Worldwide, a cultural and socio – political pressure group has also endorse Mr Ifeanyi Nwaudunna as the South-East zonal youth leader of APC. Ifeanyi Nwaudunna is the current President General of Igbo Youth Assembly Worldwide, Nwaudunna is strong advocate of National unity and peace.
Nwaudunna who has contributed tremendously in youth development and nation building will be the best option for APC South-East leader.
Mr Ifeanyi Nwaudunna has been peace and bridge builder, he called Nigerians across the country to support the administration President Muhammadu Buhari as he strive to unite the nation.
