As the 2023 general elections draw closer, an appeal has been made to politicians to shun politics of bitterness and character assassination and play the game according to the rules.

This appeal was made by the Chairman of Afizere Youth Movement (AYM) Shere Jankasa Chapter, Hon. Bulus Sambo on the occasion of Shere Jankasa 2023 held on January 07, 2023 at Zakim Primary School Field Jankasa, Jos East Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Sambo also Appealed to the youths not to allow politicians to use them as tools for nefarious acts capable of destroying their future and called on all registered voters in possession of their PVC to ensure their safety while those who have not collected to do so to enable them to partake in the general elections scheduled for next month.

He further thanked traditional rulers for their support leading to the successes the youths have achieved and urged them to continue doing their best in sustaining their cultural values.

“To our traditional rulers, thank you for the support that you have been giving us.

“Our successes are as a result of your constant advice and support. I am appealing that you should continue to do your best to sustain our cultural values.

“To all the youths, I thank you for your constructive criticism that have made us to achieve so far”, he said.

Shere Jankasa is a new year celebration and thanksgiving through the display of cultural dances and other cultural activities to show gratitude to God and to fellowship with beloved ones from far and near.

The high point of this year’s occasion was the commissioning of lock-up shops built from the donations made by participants during previous events.

The AYM Chairman said that the building of the shops was critical for boosting economic activities in the community and would also serve as a source of income for the Movement.

“I am standing boldly and proudly to tell you that your donations were not diverted or squandered but were judiciously used according to the request ; that is to tell you that the three locked-up-shops have been completed and ready for commissioning this afternoon”, Bulus Sambo said.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
