Now, to put the fact straight, Zamfara has been facing one of the worst banditry in the country in recent time. Almost every day, killings and bloodshed are reported in the media. In fact, some attacks are even reported days after the incident have already taken place due to the fact that the affected areas are remote villages.

It is important to note that, Zamfara has recently been in the news not because of anything but because of the frequent attacks in some communities that continues to unfold episode by episode. On the 30th of March Vanguard newspaper reported that more than 30 persons were buried in Bawan Daji village of Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara state following a gunmen attack on the village.

Since May 2016 the #NotTooYoungToRun Campaign and the Movement of youth and civil society groups advocating for the reduction of age for running for elective offices to mainstream young men and women in electoral politics have been at the forefront of the constitution amendment in Nigeria.

The Movement (which has gained global recognition from the United Nations, African Union and the Economic Community of West African States) and grown into what is now Nigeria’s largest and most successful youth movement in recent times is driven by the compelling need to restructure the country’s political system to address political exclusion and institute inclusive politics, transformative leadership and electoral competitiveness in Nigeria’s electoral process.

When the National Assembly in a historic vote passed the age reduction bill in July 2017 and the bill was also passed by 34 out of 36 State Houses of Assembly in February 2018, the Movement was convinced that after the State Houses of Assembly transmitted the constitution amendment to the National Assembly on 1 March 2018 the next and final stage in the constitution amendment process would be concluded quickly to open the space for young people to contest.

In a piece titled ‘NotTooYoungToRun and the Rest of Us’ by Ibrahim Kabiru Dallah, a member of the Nigerian Youth Parliament, written ‘to encourage some of the young people in Nigeria that are currently making us proud in either the political or business arena’ I was particularly impressed with the level of youth participation in Katsina state and in particular Ibrahim Zakari who is the Special Adviser on International Relations and Investments.
