“Politics is driven by a selected few and is also very expensive. We need more young people to participate, change the narrative and make conscious efforts to ensure inclusion so that any young woman or man even from a less privileged background or from any part of the country can be the president of this nation,†the minister was quoted in a statement by her media aide, Nneka Ikem Anibeze.
