A presidential aspirant under the platform of Accord Party Professor Christopher Imumolen has called for the emergence of youthful leadership for the country in the 2023 general election.
Professor Imumolen made the call at a Presidential Leadership and Consultative meeting held with Accord Party members from the seventeen southern states at Sango-Ota, Ogun State.
The presidential aspirant while speaking noted that most of the current and past leaders of the country were at their best in leadership when they had the opportunity as a youth.
He called for the election of Youths during the coming elections noting that he has the capacity to also lead the country as a youth.
He said that the Nigeria of 2023 and beyond would not need leaders with a walking stick but the younger generation to give the leadership a new lease of life.
He expressed happiness that younger people are now showing interest to take over the leadership of the country
“The world is going digital and I believe the younger generation is more exposed internationally in ICT, and in tackling various challenges having the country than the older generation.
“My ambition is to move the country forward and I believe with new ideologies youthful and vibrant ambition Nigeria is on the right part and Nigeria will be great.
“Nigeria with a population of over a 200million certainly is a great country and such leadership will go a long way to make it a greater place.
Youths in the country between the ages of 18 and 35 are more than older generations, yet the country has unable to translate the energy of its young population into development.
"Young Nigerians don’t only suffer marginalisation from a government that is run by a gerontocracy. They are also the victims of bad governance".
This is why I asked Nigerians to vote for people like me during the general elections if I am able to secure my Party ticket.
Other speakers at the event called on Nigerians to vote out those not placing their welfare at the front burner.
The presidential leadership and consultative meeting was attended by students, women leaders, and members of Accord Party from the three southern zones of the country.
