Ahead of the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress, APC, a son of late MKO, Abiola, Abdulmumin has joined the race for the party’s National Youth Leader.

Abdulmumin Abiola explained that he is running because of his believe in the ruling party and that he had what it takes to give the youths the much needed direction to move the nation forward.

According to him, since he returned to the country in 2007, he had always been thinking about how to contribute to the system and make a difference.

The son of the late business mogul disclosed that he had always been working hard to bridge the gap between the youths of the country for them to contribute their quota to the development of the country.

He, however, made it clear that he did not join the race for the Youth leader of APC due to the recent recognition of his late father, MKO Abiola by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I want to make my own mark, I have consulted widely before declaring my interest”, the aspirant said.

On the ‘Not too Young to Run Bill’ recently signed into law by Buhari, Abiola commended the signing but said it was long overdue.

Abdulmumin noted that the vibrant youths of Nigeria would take advantage of the law to further ensure their participation in the political landscape of the country.

He added, “God is my godfather, my late father gives me so much inspiration.

“I’m also inspired by beneficiaries of my late father’s kindness that could rally round and extend hands of fellowship to me”.
