Students and youths in Ogun State have vowed to deliver 20,000 votes for the governorship candidate of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in the state, Hon Abdulkabir Akinlade.
The students and youths under the umbrella of Triple A Students and Youths Campaign Organisation stated this while inaugurating its secretariat at Abiola Way in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The State Coordinator of the organisation Comrade Olusegun Clement also appealed to Akinlade who is a presently a member of the House of Representatives to ensure that youths constitute important aspects of his government.
Clement who is also the Special Adviser on students matters to the Governor Ibikunle Amosun, however, urged members of the organisation to continue the house-to-house campaign which began about a month ago.
Clement said, “I want to use this medium to tell our ‘incoming governor’ by God’s grace that we are fully ready for this election as we have started a house-to-house campaign for the past one month.

“With our present effort we are ready to deliver over 20,000 votes to the governorship candidate of the APM but I want to as well beg our members to continue the door-to-door campaign because by God’s grace our efforts will pay off.”
While responding to Clement’s request, Akinlade promised that youths will be given important voice in his administration, adding that he knows the efficiency and efficacy of youths power.
The APM candidate said, “I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to you all and also nothing really touches one’s heart than when young people are using their own initiatives and resources rightly to take their destiny in their own hands.
“By this special grace of God, what we actually started here today will be the beginning of greater things to come and I pray by March 2nd, I Prince Abdulkabir Akinlade will win the election with your support.”
