Mai Mala Buni, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee, has asked the youth in the party should not be used by elements trying to cause confusion in the country.

Speaking at a conference organised for APC youths in Abuja on Monday, Buni said “retrogressive elements” will want to use them because of their “energy”.

The Yobe governor said young people should work for the unity of the country.

“As the most energetic segment of the population, retrogressive elements with evil interests in causing confusion, creating and fanning hate and disunity will always rely on you to achieve such negative and unpatriotic tendencies and to destroy your future,” he said.

“You must resist them. You should never allow yourselves to be used as tools in the hands of these treacherous elements.”

Buni said the party must invest in the youth so that its future and that of the country would be good.

“We cannot afford to discard the youth in the affairs of the party. We must invest in the youth for a better future for the party and country,” the APC chairman said.

“Therefore, this conference and theme are both strategic and timely for a prosperous future for the party and our beloved country.

“I am pleased to say that collectively, we have rescued a troubled party that was heading towards imminent collapse and disintegration, to a very strong, solid, reliable and ever-growing political party.”
