was the former Head of state as at
then.. Our teachers also called us the
leaders of tomorrow.. 27 years later,
IBB and Buhari are still contesting for
President.. Its either our teachers lied
about us being the leaders of
tomorrow or tomorrow is yet to come?

Answer: The leaders of yesterday and today.

the leaders of yestarday are the leaders of today, the leaders of today are the leaders of tomorrow.
In other word, the leaders of yesterday are the leaders of tomorrow.
Our teachers didn't lie only that they were myopic borrowing the slogan from UK.

People are stupid relating being leaders of a generation with age.

You can lead a generation without being from that generation. What matters is the will to see that generation succeed.

Until the old generation is ready and willing to see the new generation succeed, I'm sorry nothing will change.
