The youth wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the North-West has expressed concerns over the rising cost of living, hunger, and insecurity in the country. The group highlighted the difficult economic situation in the region and appealed to President Bola Tinubu and the APC to find ways to alleviate the sufferings of the masses. The Chairman of the North-West APC Youths, Abdulhamid Mohammed, made the plea during a meeting in Kaduna to review the party’s affairs and the state of the nation. Mohammed urged the presidency to act promptly before the hardship becomes unbearable. The group noted that the cost of food items in the market is becoming too high for many people to afford.
However, the APC youth group criticized the opposition for blaming the current administration for the nation’s economic challenges, arguing that the hardship predates the APC-led government. They called on the opposition to support President Tinubu’s administration in addressing the economic crisis, security, and other socio-economic issues confronting the nation. The group also urged the President and the ruling APC to involve the youths in the governance of the country.
