Yusuf Galadima Aliyu, a friend of the new aide in a Facebook post, described the appointment of Abdulrahman Baffa Yola as a clearance to Nigerian youths in particular to participate in building Nigeria.
He said: “That, we are(all) hopeful of leading Nigeria one day one day. Youth are beginning to see some changes and development in themselves, just within a week. It is truth and a real plus, that youths, have given chances to start in the presidency. This to me, is also a good opportunity for the youths to show case their hidden talent in building and strengthening the relationship between the old and the young Nigerian, by ensuring good things done.”
Meanwhile, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, is scheduled to meet with traditional rulers from the northern region of the country as part of his effort to douse the tension generated by a quit notice issued to Igbos living in the north.
