His words:
“We call on the leaders of our party in the southwest, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Governor Kayode Fayemi, Governor Babajide Akeredolu, and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to side with the will of the young people of our party and give us Dada Olusegun for national youth leader of the APC.
“We would like to categorically state that we are solidly behind and support the aspiration of Dada Olusegun as the best candidate for the position of the national youth leader of the APC. We believe in his vast experience in youth politics and engagement.
“Not only that he is the top candidate for the position, but his acceptability across the six (6) geo-political zones also becomes endearing as Dada’s leadership capacity is well known and documented across different progressive youth groups.
“We also stand firm in our belief that Dada is well qualified to continue the works of our brother and leader, Barr. Ismaeel Ahmed whom his office has recorded tremendous progress for the youths.”
National convention: Dada assures APC youths of inclusiveness if elected
33-year-old Dada recently assured young people in the party of inclusiveness if given the opportunity to emerge as their leader.
He made this known during his official declaration through an open letter he personally addressed to all the APC youths on Tuesday, February 1.
Comrade Dada said his passion for youth inclusion in politics will form the basis to chart the policy drive and execute a template on inclusiveness for progressive youths on the National Working Committee.

The groups cited the political acumen and widespread influence of Olusegun over the years as a reason for their endorsement.
They said their decision to wholeheartedly support Comrade Dada for the position was based on his wealth of experience in politics, and his acceptability among various APC youth groups.
