Labour Party youth leaders consider alliance with Tinubu ahead of 2027

The Labour Party Youth Wing has proposed consultations with the All Progressives Congress and groups supporting President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

According to PUNCH, the proposal followed a virtual meeting involving National Youth Leader Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, five zonal youth leaders and 32 state youth leaders.

The participants mandated Ahanotu to consult the APC, Renewed Hope Movement, City Boy Movement and Tinubu Support Groups about possible political alignment and collaboration.

The statement said youth leaders raised concerns about “inadequate recognition, total negligence, lack of engagements and no support for the youth constituency” during and after the 2023 elections.

They said consultations would explore opportunities for greater youth participation, leadership development and economic empowerment.

The youth leaders also proposed a physical meeting in Abuja to review the consultations and determine their next steps.

They stressed that the engagement remained an ongoing dialogue and that broad-based consultations and consensus-building would precede any further decision on the proposed political alignment.
