A youth support group of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) known as ADC Youth Ambassadors have sensitised Nigerian youths to register massively in the party to enable them to have a stake ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The national convener of the group, Honourable Ahmad Shehu Hassan, made the call during the National Sensitisation of Voters and Mobilisation for Membership Registration programme, which drew youth leaders, women champions, student representatives, and party members from different parts of the north, held in Bauchi.

In a press release issued to our correspondent in Gombe on Tuesday, Hassan declared that Nigerian youths could no longer be bystanders in the country’s affairs.

He said ADC is going to be the ‘most formidable opposition party’ in the next elections, urging the youth to leverage on the opportunity to join it in order to contribute to its victory.

According to him, only if the youth have a good number of members in the party can they have a stake and chances to contribute meaningfully in governance.

Aside from the party registration, Hassan urged the youth to register in the ongoing voters registration being conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The convener decried the current problems bedevilling the nation, including inflation, insecurity and poverty, saying Nigerians must rise to effect change through the ballot.

“Since 2023, inflation has hit families like a hammer. Food prices are unbearable. Nigerians cannot farm, travel, or even sleep in peace. This APC government promised renewed hope but delivered nothing.

“Our strongest weapon is our Permanent Voter’s Card. With it, we can vote out those who betrayed us and usher in a new Nigeria. ADC is not just a party, it is a movement, we should all throw our weight behind it”, he said.
