Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other political parties to field youths into offices in order to win their votes in 2023.
They also said that they would not support old and corrupt politicians, Boko Haram sponsors and anti-social media campaigners.
AYCF’s Secretary-General, Nuhu Sani Lere, made these comments during a media roundtable in Abuja.
He said, “We are in consultations and have resolved unanimously to vote only parties that elect youths into offices.
“How do you vote for people who are 70 years and above? Or is it those with EFCC cases, Boko Haram sponsors or anti-social media campaigners? Nigeria cannot move forward with these same old crooks with the same songs.
“We need change, and the change begins now. Any party that fails to elect youths into leadership positions in the party risk losing our votes.”
