The Speaker of House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara has thrown his support for the youth inclusion in holding political offices around the nation. This is coming at a time the #NotTooYoungToRun is trending in preparing for the forthcoming 2019 general election.
The Speaker made this known after a public hearing at the National Assembly earlier today.
He said. “The #NotTooYoungToRun campaign is particularly dear to my heart & I have, on several occasions, stated my commitment to aiding the advocacy. The bill has been passed in the House but more work must be done still to ensure that the amendments being sought scale through
“True democracy must be inclusive and it is imperative that we bequeath a legacy of equitable representation to the next generation.”
