Why Nigerian Youths Must Unite To Take Political Power – Ikubese
Dr Thomas-Wilson Ikubese, a Former Presidential Aspirant and Convener of the YesWeFit Revolutionary Movement has stressed the need for young Nigerians to gather across party Divides to take political leadership from the Old Politicians.
Ikubese said this while speaking on a channels television Programme, Sunrise Daily on Friday. He encouraged young Nigerians to build on the gains of the 2019 Elections campaign for youth inclusion in politics and dare to take more elective offices in upcoming elections, in order to move the country forward.
He however condemned the action of few of the youths who place personal interests above the collective interest of political revolution and sold out to major political parties during the 2019 Political struggle.
He equally condemned the ‘weaponization’ of hunger and deliberate suppression of the poor masses, in order to maintain political hegemony, by the political elites.
Asked if he thinks the youths can take total control of political leadership, Ikubese reiterate his strong believe in the possibility of an eruption of a youthful and resourcesful political class.
He also advised the old politicians who have stayed longer than necessary in the system to give off power volunterily and honorably before it may be too late.
