2023: Group seeks emergence of youthful leadership

The National Coordinator of the Bello Ambassadors Network (BAN), Mr Anthony Edogbo,  has called on residents of Plateau to support its agenda, which is to ensure the emergence of youthful president in 2023.

Edogbo made the call in a statement issued on Saturday after the inauguration in Jos of the state’s leadership structure of BAN.

He described BAN as a socio-political movement for mobilisation of the grassroots towards the actualisation of a youthful and responsive Presidency in 2023.

In this light,  Edogbo said Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi was an example of such youthful leadership.

He said the Kogi governor had improved on the security situation in the state since he assumed office.

The coordinator pointed out that Bello has empowered security agencies and had been recognised as one the most security-conscious governors in Nigeria.

The Plateau State Coordinator of BAN, Mr Hanas Maliki, commended the leaders of the organisation for bringing the initiative to the state.

Maliki said that Plateau people were passionate about the youthful agenda, adding that they were also passionate about Bello’s leadership qualities.

“We the volunteers and leaders in the state promise to work to bring at least two million Plateau residents to the network,’’ he said.
