According to the son of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum Chairman, Bauchi youths are not beggars and would not be empowered by temporary gestures.

He further advised President Tinubu’s son to teach Bauchi youths how to fish rather than feed them for one day.
“Please, we the youths of Bauchi don’t need rice and food in nylon bags during Ramadan.
Teach our youths how to fish, rather than feed them for one day. They are not beggars,” the Bauchi Governor’s son added.
