In a bold move signaling renewed energy within the All Progressives Congress (APC) youth wing, Khalifa Bello Al-Adam, a prominent youth leader and proud indigene of Kano State, has formally declared his intention to contest for the position of National Zonal Youth Leader for the Northwest zone at the party’s 2026 National Convention.
Al-Adam made the declaration in a statement circulated to party members, friends, and compatriots across the country, positioning himself as a champion of youth inclusion under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
Under the campaign theme “Youths Renewed Hope and Inclusiveness,” the aspirant outlined an ambitious agenda aimed at transforming the role of young Nigerians within the APC.
“My focus will be on fostering inclusivity and amplifying young voices, mobilizing youth for active participation in governance, bridging gaps between youth and party leadership, and empowering youth in employment, entrepreneurship, education, capacity building and more,” Al-Adam stated.
The Kano-born aspirant emphasized that his bid is not just about occupying a position but about creating tangible opportunities for Nigerian youths to contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
He called on APC members, stakeholders, and well-wishers to rally behind his candidacy with prayers, endorsements, and active support.
“We request your prayers, support, and endorsement for a victorious campaign. Let’s build a stronger APC and a brighter future for our youth!” he declared.
Political observers note that Al-Adam’s declaration comes at a critical time when the APC is seeking to consolidate youth support ahead of future electoral cycles. His emphasis on “Renewed Hope” aligns directly with President Tinubu’s administration mantra, a strategic positioning that could resonate strongly among delegates from the Northwest geopolitical zone.
As the countdown to the 2026 APC National Convention begins, all eyes are now on the Northwest zone to see who will emerge as the voice of millions of young party members. Khalifa Bello Al-Adam has thrown down the gauntlet, the race for National Zonal Youth Leader has officially begun.
