ABUJA — The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has mobilised its youth structures nationwide ahead of the 2026 International Youth Day, urging greater youth participation in politics as a way of tackling voter apathy and strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.
With the celebration holding on Wednesday, August 12, the party has directed its state youth leaders to organise activities in their respective states around the theme: ‘How Youth Political Participation Will Curb Voter Apathy in Nigeria.’
The PDP National Youth Leader, Amb. Ibrahim Bala-Aboki, said the focus was to deepen youth engagement in Nigeria’s democratic process, particularly at a time when voter apathy remains a challenge to effective participation.
“The theme underscores the urgent need to deepen youth engagement in Nigeria’s democratic processes, particularly at a time when voter apathy remains a significant challenge to effective democratic participation,” Bala-Aboki said.
