The Director of Youth Mobilisation for the Makinde/Adekanmbi 2027 Campaign, Hon. Kazeem Bolarinwa, has assured the coalition of past and present student leaders under the aegis of the association of the full support and backing of the Directorate of Youth Mobilisation.
Kazeem gave the assurance while receiving representatives of the coalition, assuring them that the Directorate would work closely with the association and provide the necessary support to strengthen its mobilisation efforts towards the 2027 political campaigns.
He commended the student leaders for coming together under a common platform, describing their initiative as a significant step towards harnessing the energy, experience and organisational capacity of former and current student leaders for political and societal development.
The Youth Mobilisation Director pledged the Directorate’s optimum backing for the association, stressing that youth and student leaders remain critical stakeholders in any meaningful political mobilisation.
He said the Directorate would continue to create an enabling platform for young people and organised groups to participate actively in the political process, adding that their contributions would be valuable to the campaign for Governor Seyi Makinde and Bimbo Adekanmbi ahead of the 2027 elections.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Coalition of Past and Present Student Leaders Association (COPPSLA), Comrade Azeez Sharafudeen, popularly known as Pa Biafra, said the coalition’s position was informed by its belief in the programmes and agenda of the Makinde-led administration.
According to him, the coalition’s support aligns with Governor Makinde’s “Reset Nigeria” agenda, which he said focuses on economic transformation, education reform, security and youth development.
Sharafudeen said the association, comprising present and former student leaders, was prepared to mobilise its members and networks across the state and beyond towards the actualisation of its political objectives ahead of 2027.
He further appreciated the Directorate of Youth Mobilisation for its commitment to partnering with the association, describing the assurance of support as an indication of the importance attached to youth and student leadership in the political process.
The coalition had earlier unveiled its platform and declared support for Governor Seyi Makinde and Bimbo Adekanmbi ahead of the 2027 elections, with members pledging to deploy their structures and experience towards the campaign.
