Group Seeks Increased Participation Of Youths In Politics

A political pressure group, Tinubu Ambo Support Group, has stressed the need for increased youth participation in Nigeria’s politics.

The national director-general of the group, Dr Seyi Bamigbade, stated this on Monday when the former governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, alongside his wife, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, officially validated their All Progressives Congress (APC) membership cards at Epe, Lagos State.

He appealed to Nigerian youths to take ownership of the nation’s political future through meaningful participation in party politics, particularly via the ongoing membership validation and new members’ e-registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The group’s leader described Mr Ambode as a seasoned administrator, a bridge-builder, and a progressive leader whose record of service continues to inspire confidence among party faithful and the younger generation.

According to him, the former governor’s participation in the APC E-registration exercise sends a clear message that leadership is rooted in party discipline, humility, and active engagement at all levels.

“The future of Nigeria belongs to the youth, and politics remains the strongest platform for shaping that future. We urge young Nigerians to seize this opportunity by registering, validating their membership, and becoming active stakeholders in governance rather than spectators.”

The Support Group further commended Mrs Bolanle Ambode for her steadfast support and quiet strength, describing her as a pillar of encouragement whose presence reflects the importance of family values and unity in public service.

Observers at the event noted that the validation exercise in Epe witnessed significant youth turnout, reinforcing the growing enthusiasm among young people to align with progressive ideals and credible leadership.

The Tinubu Ambo Support Group reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising, mentoring, and empowering youths across Lagos State and beyond, stressing that inclusive political participation remains the foundation for sustainable democracy and national development.

As the country continues its democratic journey, the group expressed optimism that with leaders like Akinwumi Ambode setting the example, youths will rise to the occasion and play decisive roles in building a stronger, more prosperous nation.
