A support group of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu/Shettima Grass Root 2023 Mandate, has called on President Bola Tinubu to appoint his son, Seyi Tinubu, as Minister for Youth Development.
The group made this known in a statement signed on Tuesday by its National Chairman, Dr. Okocha Morgan Meshack, saying Seyi Tinubu can deliver as Youth Minister based on his proven track record with the party.
The group also pledged its support for the President Tinubu-led administration.
After the group’s recent national stakeholders’ meeting, they reiterated their stance that Seyi will make a good minister.
“Looking at the credence of Mr. Seyi Tinubu, he is a pragmatic youth leader within the age bracket of 37 to 38 years.
“Seyi has served in the achievement and promotes positive government as his action painstakingly strengthened the youth wings of the APC supporters of various groups.
“Seyi has a better understanding of the peculiar challenges confronting the youth and a strong belief that he can midwife and accelerate the purpose of creating the Ministry of Youth Development.
“This is with our hope and belief that our prayers will be considered,” the statement partly reads.
