Dayo Israel Addresses APC Youth Mobilisation Confusion

Dayo Israel, the National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), addressed confusion regarding his leadership role in the Youth Mobilisation Directorate for the 2027 presidential campaign. His elevation to director was initially announced at a campaign council meeting on October 20 but was later reversed, leading to disputes among party supporters on X. Minister of Youth Development Ayodele Olawande was confirmed as the director, with Israel as deputy director, according to a statement from Hope Uzodimma, the secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council and Imo State Governor.

Other appointments included Farouk Aliyu as director of the Directorate of Stage Organisation and Management and Mary Aille Idele as director of the Women Mobilisation Directorate. Israel disputed claims that his elevation was fabricated, stating that it was acknowledged by the National Working Committee and prompted congratulatory messages from party members.

He emphasized his readiness to lead the directorate's activities following the announcement.
