According to the statement signed by Comrade Aiyelabowo Adebanji Austin, Director General of NAYC, the group commended the senator’s role in practically defending the President’s policies, especially at a time when misinformation and opposition propaganda seek to distract from the administration’s achievements.
“Senator Sunday Karimi has shown what it means to be a true progressive and a defender of the people’s mandate. His vocal and strategic support for President Tinubu both on the floor of the Senate and among stakeholders across Kogi and Nigeria at large is worthy of emulation,” the statement read.
The coalition noted that Senator Karimi’s recent engagements across his senatorial district especially the launching of the Tinubu Support Group Bursary Award for students in the East and Central Senatorial Districts of Kogi State, with over 1,610 students in tertiary institutions set to benefit from this initiative. This is aside the 1,390 beneficiaries drawn from the seven local government areas of Kogi West, who will benefit from the same initiative, being the second edition of his bursary award for students in tertiary institutions in the senatorial district.

The youth body further called on other lawmakers and political leaders to emulate Senator Karimi’s model of constructive leadership and loyalty to the party.
At a time like this, the country needs voices of reason and courage. Senator Karimi’s leadership is a rallying point for progressives, especially the youth, who are looking for mentors within the system,” the statement added.
The NAYC reiterated its readiness to support leaders like Senator Karimi in pushing forward the Renewed Hope Agenda and strengthening youth participation within the APC and the broader democratic space.
