“Youths are fond of supporting older people in contesting various political offices in state, national and other political offices,” he said.
“But’ in 2023, our support movement will mobilize and brainstorm our youths to resist any support from any old politician to get political office or appointment by the government.
“We are also ready now to place our teeming youths to contest for any post alongside old people to get elected so that the youths can claim all post or position in the country, Comrade Fatihu said.
“Also, youths would not bother about where a candidate comes from; as far as the person is qualified on merit, the youths across the zone will vote for him.”
He urges all and sundry to show concern and support the group to bring change in political scenery in Kebbi state.
