A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) called the Progressive Youth Movement (PYM), has said it would resist any form of imposition of candidates at the February 26, 2022, convention of the party.
In a statement on Friday in Abuja, the leader of the group, Prince Mustapha Audu, said the top echelon of the party should ensure a free, fair and credible poll.

“We will resist the imposition of any candidate that is simply too old for the job.
“As we are venturing into an election year, it is imperative that we have an individual who is able to withstand the vigors and rigorous activities involved in partaking in a general election during a transitional government.
“We also implore our leaders to ensure that there are positions reserved for young stakeholders within the party. Those reserved positions will also be determined by young stakeholders.
“Mr President, party stakeholders, party faithful and all aspirants at the upcoming convention have been very patient and tolerant of the continuous postponements and delays in conducting the convention.
“We believe that conducting the convention on February 26, 2022, will exhibit the sincerity and integrity of the Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker extraordinary convention planning committee.
“We also implore the committee to involve all stakeholders in the selection process for consensus candidates if the party decides to tow that line,” he said.
