In a statement issued by the Global Coordinator of WUYABEL, Dr Hanatu Adeeko, the gathering will be the first of its kind “especially now that the political stage is almost set.’’
Ádeeko said:
“This will be the first in a long while that women on their own will come together in their numbers to speak with one voice. We are coming to Abuja to demand that the status quo must be changed. This is the time for us to yield power to younger people, especially those who have given a good account of themselves in other places they’ve rendered service.”
Nigerian youths no longer have an excuse not to take over
Ahead of the 2023 elections, Governor Yahaya Bello has said Nigeria is waiting for young people to steer the country towards the dreams of its founding fathers.
According to the Kogi governor, Nigerian youths no longer have any excuse not to take over the nation’s leadership.
