“Our young people are concerned with doing what I call tag-along. They are more interested in becoming special assistants to governors or senators.Sowore said Nigerian youths need to become more daring in politics to be able to replicate the new dispensation in Senegal. The activist said, “You cannot be young, mission-driven, and a visionary and go and hide your bushel under some of these old people who have no idea of how to even operate a phone.
“Youthfulness is also important in the sense that you need leaders that are alert and capable and responsive and do not have to spend half of the time in the hospital,” he said.44-year-old Faye sworn in as Senegalese president Recall that the former President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Not Too Young Bill, which provides for the youths to vie for the presidency and other positions.Subscribe to our E-EDITIONS
