This said they are going to push for a new face on the political terrain in the 2027 election.
At the Northern Youth Summit organized by the National Youth Alliance (NYA), various speakers spoke on the need to be united and support young individuals who might be vying for key positions in the next general elections.
The youth blamed the economic woes that the country is going through on the lack of ideas that would move the country forward.
The President of NYA, Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas lamented that the present political leadership of Nigeria is out of tune with the hardship citizens are facing.
He said that the NYA is a movement that has attracted youth from all the political parties, with the sole aim of birthing a new Nigeria that will work for all.

“NYA has been able to attract youth from the All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), APGA, NNPP and other parties, he said.
“As you can see, they came here in numbers for what they believe in, as patriotic Nigeria’s, they are yearning for change that will put Nigeria on the right pedestal,” he said.
Ambassador Abbas said that the threats he and others are receiving from the old politicians will prevent him from using all legitimate means available in ensuring that things are done right in Nigeria.
The Northern Youth also condemned the arraignment of minors for alleged treason, describing it as inhumane and a complete violation of the Child Rights Act.
