A socio-political activist and critic, Adesunbo Onitiri, has called on Nigerian youths to brace up and take over the country’s leadership in 2023.
Onitiri, in a statement, said old politicians have done their best and should retire and allow the youths to take over the country’s leadership as they no longer have solutions to the country’s problems.
“We democrats are urgently calling on all Nigerian youths to rise now, get their permanent Voters’ cards and vote themselves as president and governors, to tackle the numerous challenges of insecurity, economic downturn and the cancerous corruption about to sink the country’s ship.
“They should act fast before this country is completely destroyed by blood-thirsty Boko Haram, armed herdsmen, religious fundamentalists, masquerading as bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and all other criminals,” Onitiri said.
He said this became urgently imperative because of the dismissal performance of the ruling party All Progressives Congress, since it took over power over seven years ago.
The elders, he noted, have nothing more to contribute to the affairs of the country than to take a back seat and offer advices.
“In more advanced climes with enormous resources, it is the youths that are piloting the affairs and directing the central stages. We, therefore, call on Nigerian youths to salvage our country from total collapse and destruction.
“It is the youths that have the energy, capacity, capability and the cerebral to harness the latent resources of our great country.
“Our major problem in Nigeria is leadership. Our youths should therefore come out and provide the needed leadership and turn the dwindling fortune of our great country around,” Onitiri said.
