Ahead of this year’s congress of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) in Nasarawa State, Comrade Umbugadu Joshua John has indicated interest to contest for the youth leadership position of the mainstream opposition.
Umbugadu who became a registered member of the party in 2011, in a statement issued on Wednesday afternoon, said he joined the race after “due consultation, consideration and self evaluation”.
Over the years, Umbugadu noted that has been actively involved in the party’s activities at all levels, thus gathered the necessary experience and network to effectively run the office.
“I have worked and relate with some of the senior officers in the Party, run errands for some of these senior officers too, thus this has exposed and improved my experience in politics which I believe is a plus to me and the party as a whole.
“From 2011 till date, it has been a period of making, learning and relearning to prepare myself for this coming task. Also during this period of learning I have understood the power of unity, indiscrimination and self believe,” he stated further.
The party had scheduled the congress for November to elect new members of the State Working Committee.
