The Peoples Democratic Party (PDD) in Ogun has unveiled plans to reposition and strategize in order to ensure the party’s victory in the 2027 elections.
Speaking at the party’s youth retreat at the PDP secretariat in Abeokuta, Sunkanmi Oyejide , the state Youth leader, explained that the youths, who made up approximately 70 per cent of voters, will implement the party’s strategies and ideas at the local government and ward levels.
He appealed to the youths to move beyond social media criticism and join a party with a good ideology.
The PDP youth leader equally highlighted the party’s youth-friendly approach.
” It’s a youth retreat and every party has its own youths. We need to bring our youth leaders forward and prepare them for the task ahead and the task is to make PDP win in the coming election in 2027.
“When you look at the population of voters, you will see that the youth carries almost 70 percent , that is why we have to engage our youths, communicate the idea to them so that they can all go to their respective local government and wards and implement the strategies and ideas of the party,” he said.
Oyejide added that with the renewed focus on youth engagement, the Ogun PDP was poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming elections.
“We have invited all the 20 local government youth leaders, the three senatorial youth leaders.
” Most of the youths believe in running their politics on the social media, criticizing the government but this is not right. They need to look for a party with good ideology that they can join.
“When you look at the last election, 85 percent of our Chancellor were under 30. While 65 percent of Chairmen were below 40 that shows that our youths are ready to take over,” he said.
In his address, Chairman of the party, Abayomi Tella reiterated that the PDP is committed to devising strategies to ensure the party’s victory in the 2027 elections.
