She made her interest known via a post on her social media accounts, on March 9

Rinsola, a member of the APC in Ogun State, is described as both a technocrat and grassroots politician. She has also been commended for her philanthropic activities through the Derinsola Abiola Foundation, and sustained advocacy for women and youth mainstreaming in politics.

Ms. Abiola, who runs a media and political consultancy firm, was a Special Assistant to the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Eighth Assembly. She has also garnered work experience in the public, private and non-profit sectors, while her works in promoting youth and women’s interests through politics and civil society, have been huge.

She promised that, if elected as youth leader, her priorities would include delivering the youth vote for the APC, providing support for young candidates and pushing for better representation of young people in appointive positions while also safeguarding the interests of Nigerian youths in policy formulation at different levels of government.

 

It is expected that the APC will further micro-zone positions to states and it is believed that the National Youth Leader position will be ceded to either Lagos or Ogun state.
