2023: Niger Gov Harps On Young Leaders
Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, has thrown his weight for the emergence of young, vibrant and well educated Nigerian leaders in the 2023 general elections.
The governor stated this while hosting the advocacy team of The Nigeria Agenda which was on an advocacy visit to the State.
According to the governor who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Ahmed Ibrahim Matane, the 2023 presidential race must usher an era of rapid social and physical development in the country and this can only be realised through the emergence of young, vibrant and highly educated President and other elected officials.
He said: “To achieve this, all political parties are enjoined to make sure only young, vibrant and educated candidates emerged on their respective platforms. This has become important because of the need to deliberately tap into the large population of young Nigerians that are highly educated, vibrant and have impressive records of experience in government, and capable of unlocking the potential of the country for rapid social and physical development.”
The governor also expressed his support and enthusiasm for the issues and values being canvassed by the advocacy team of The Nigeria Agenda.
He said: “The Government of Niger State supports the values being propagated by The Nigeria Agenda and will actively back the national conversation the advocacy team is engendering among Nigerians.
