candidate to work with.<\/p>\n

According to Shettima: \u201cArewa youths stand for competency, experience, and judging by the antecedents of the character we are likely going to work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not made an official statement regarding who we will work with, but we will do that soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegion and where a candidate comes from won\u2019t count in this coming election; we won\u2019t be favorable to the zone, tribe, or religion this time around.\u201d<\/p>\n

No fewer than 18 candidates are contesting in the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The candidates are from the All Progressives Congress, APC, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Labour Party, Accord Party, Action Alliance, African Action Congress, African Democratic Congress.<\/p>\n
