Why Youths Cannot Rule Nigeria - Bisi Akande by pittoilet(f): 5:57pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Former interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande has said that the brand of democratic system in Nigeria is akin to military junta, noting that political players are not better than military dictators and despots. The former Osun State Governor also expressed pessimism over the competence of the youths to take over the mantle of leadership, saying there is total erosion of values among the young generation. “The core value system is no more in place. We have a mixture of the negative and positive tendencies among the youths. “The negative tendencies are more than the positive ones. How do we get sincere and good future leaders in the present society”. Akande, spoke when he payed host to members of Pan Yoruba group known as Yoruba Patriotic Movement at his Ila-Orogun, his country home. He noted that the whole political system and pattern of governance in Nigeria predicated on “governance with impunity”. He explained that the Nigerian party system was still far from entrenching internal democracy base on carryover of military orientation and gestapo approach. Akande insisted that the only way democracy could be sustained and nurtured in a party system is to have an independent and virile political parties, the one not tied to the apron string of any governmental institution or structure. “Political party grew in hierarchy system in those days; whether you are tailor, bricklayer, carpenter or whoever, you must learn politics through your political party. “You cannot just rise up and say you want to become this, you want to become that in the party. You must learn first. Political party was a leadership training ground. “But the military deliberately killed that system. The military wanted to be controlling the political party after they left power. “The military created political party like NRC, SDP during Babangida’s time; we would remember the five leprosy fingers of General Sani Abacha. After they left government, they made regulations for the political parties through the civilian government. “Up till date, military mentality still pervades our political system. Unfortunately, those who knew the military plan have left the political party leadership. Majority of the people at the leaderships of the political party are those who grew or learn politics in the military arrangement”, Akande opined. http://www.looknaija.com/2017/09/youths-cannot-rule-nigeria-bisi-akande/ 4 Likes 1 Share

"Youth is not a time of life but a state of mind." The Nigerian youth (a vast majority) cannot be identified with any common sense. They blame the government for everything, forgetting that they have contributed more than any age demography in bringing ineffective governments into power. Five times (1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 & 2015), they've had the chance to subvert the paradigm by removing the old cargoes from power but they prefer to be handed one thousand naira and packet of noodles for exchange for votes, then the revert to kidnapping, internet fraud, armed robbery and other vices when there is nothing left to eat. More prevalent is the application of jungle justice when a common man like them steals a fowl, whereas, the elected politicians and appointees who represent them and steal the country dry are worshipped by same youths. The state of mind of the Nigerian youth is thoroughly maleficent. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

Chief Akande, as a friend and with all due respect, I want to say you are wrong. Your write up here gives more credence to the fact that Youth should rule Nigeria now. You explained that the current crop of leaders did learn politics and leadership from the military and led to a military influenced political system. This is a major reason why all those who have such flawed training and style of leadership should step down and let the young rule. Fresh minds. Fresh ideas. Non-military influenced style of leadership. By claiming that the youths can not rule and saying what you said, it shows that the old oldies are doing everything to hold on to the reigns of this country. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Well, he's entitled to his own opinion, just like every Tom, Dick and Harry does. What's truest though is that some of us lives and plays politics on principle and conviction. Personally, I know that I've what it takes to lead effectively. I'm only bidding my time. 2 Likes |
