The
frenzy about who retain power in 2023 has caught the attention of an
association called Youths Ask for Better Nigeria (YAFBN). The Youths through their Secretary General,

Thailand even Ghana and Rwanda would not be where they are today”, Abu Shettima
stressed, reminding those Northern Power Brokers that there is work to be done—not
all politics!
