“Secondly, to make sure young people have stake in the party, especially for the position of the national youth leader of the party being allocated to a god father somewhere to determine who he brings without the consent of the youths that have contributed,” he noted.

Also Speaking, the PYM leader, Prince Mustapha Audu commended the party for listening to the group and meeting their demands.

“We clamoured for a convention in February and the leadership of the party listened and gave us February convention. We clamoured for 26th and they gave us 26th; We clamoured that letter be transmitted to INEC and letter had been transmitted to INEC as we speak.

“In all fairness, it will be wrong of us to continue anything further knowing that our leaders have listened to us.”

The youth leader however call for inclusion of youths in the National Convention and Post Convention Management of the party.
