In other news, Aliyu Bello, the PDP youth leader in Kaduna state has made some proposals as to the strategies the opposition can adopt to ensure victory in the 2023 polls.

Bello pointed out that for the opposition to sack the APC, the party must open its presidential ticket to all. The PDP youth leader made the remark in reaction to the recommendation of the party's zoning committee that the chairmanship position be zoned to the north.

According to him, the problem of internal democracy that led to the defeat of the party in 2015, would be addressed if the presidential ticket is opened to all. Bello, the chairman of the forum of youth leaders in the northwest, said the failure of the APC government to fulfil its three main campaign promises has brightened the chances of PDP to regain the presidency in 2023.
