Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi on Tuesday called on the youth to make conscious efforts at “wrestling” power from the elders in order to assume the mantle of the country’s leadership in 2023.
Bello made the call on Tuesday in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun, at a conference, themed: “Youths Own The Power”, organised by a group known as Afenifere for Collective Transformation .
Bello also urged the youth to shun passivity and numbness concerning sensitive leadership positions in the country. “Our elders have continued to be at ease during the presidential polls because the youths seemed to have ceded the position to them,” he said.
