Backpage Nigerian Youths, Stand Up To Be Counted!
As I have stated on this platform before, the forthcoming elections will be like no other in our experience. Politicians may deny the bitter reality staring them in the face. Many of those in the fray have continued to do what they know how to do best — stage circus shows and whip up the frenzy among their converts. In many of those rallies that I have watched, there is nothing new about the traditional messaging they offer.
But will they seize the moment and install a government they can be proud of? Do they have the balls to walk their talk? By registering to vote in the 2023 elections, our young people have signalled their intention to have a say in how their country is run. What remains to be seen is whether they can match their fiery bluster on social media with the commitment of showing up to cast their ballot for the kind of leader they have always ranted about.
In 2021, at a youth conference titled “Energising the Youth for Development: Inclusiveness, Governance, Security and Employment”, President Muhammadu Buhari acknowledged the incredible potential, innovation and enterprise of Nigerian youths which has seen them making waves in entertainment, music, sports, technology and other sectors. He called on them to rise up and participate in reinventing their country.
