Some youth groups in Kebbi state particularly from Birnin Kebbi, Kalgo and Bunza federal constituency have resolved to support the intention of Ibrahim Babandiga Birema (IBB) after he consented to their call to vie for the seat of Birnin Kebbi, Kalgo and Bunza federal constituency in Kebbi state.
The Chairman of Kebbi youth development initiative (KYDI), Muhammad Hussain said that the decision to call barrister Banbangida to contest the seat of federal house of representatives was based on the believe that as an experienced lawyer and a youth massive youth representation at the lower chamber is possible, because it has been dominated by aged people who only enrich themselves at the expense of our teaming youth hence our resolve to prevail on the leadership of Kebbi state Peoples Democratic Party to give the slot to IBB he said.
