Kogi Gov Commends President Buhari for signing the Not Too Young To Run Bill into Law
Kogi Governor, Alh. Yahaya Bello has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the the Not Too Young To Run Bill into law, saying the Law has open a wide gate of opportunity for Nigerian youth to be “more politically dynamic, daring and optimistic”.
“With the signing of the bill into law, Mr President has displayed unparalleled love for the youth of Nigeria. The law has opened the gates of opportunities for youth to participate more in politics.
“As the Ambassador of the youth in governance, I know that having more youth in governance will lift our nation. The law doesn’t push out the experienced, old people out of the political ring, but it gives the youth a political voice to be counted.
“My generation is grateful to Mr President for this historic law and we shall show that appreciation during the 2019 elections”.
Bello said his administration in Kogi State has given the youth “tremendous opportunities to hold positions of responsibility”, saying though his cabinet is predominantly youthful, there are also experienced elderly people who have helped in guiding the youth to deliver good governance.
He urged the youth to “seize the opportunity of the law”, to come out and participate massively in political activities.
