NYCN election: APC has no preferred candidate- Jalo

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has exonerated itself from the crisis rocking the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN).
The party said that it was not backing any of the candidates in the election and will remain neutral until proper elections are held.
 National Youth leader of the party, Dasuki Jalo Waziri said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Thursday.

Jalo was reacting to insinuations that some of the candidates had links with the party.
He however said that President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged the importance of youths to his administration and has programmes that will address youths unemployment and other challenges facing Nigerian youths.
He said the supervising youth ministry has not been put in place adding that there are laws and guidelines that were put in place to guide the whole process regarding the NYCN activities.
The APC youth leader therefore urged Nigerians to disregard some of the aspirants already declaring themselves as the leaders of the council or associating themselves with the APC.
"There was supposed to to be an election for the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) but we all witnessed what happened particularly that the election could not hold because of the crises, but for the reason that President Muhammadu Buhari's government is new, therefore they have to make sure that all things are in place before they can go ahead with the election.
