The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Wing has invited presidential hopefuls on the party’s platform to a town-hall meeting.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, Dayo Israel, APC national youth leader, said the town-hall meeting will take place on May 27 and 28 with the presidential hopefuls expected to discuss their plans for youths.
“In a few days, our party delegates will gather in Abuja at the special convention/presidential primaries to elect the presidential candidate of our great party, the APC,” the statement reads.
“While some of the aspirants have toured the country to address would-be delegates, we observe very little engagement with the youth wing of our party.
