He stated that the confab would not yield any positive result.

President Bola Tinubu had in his nationwide broadcast on October 1 said he would set up a 30-Day National Youth Confab for youths in the country to discuss and address challenges confronting them.

“Considering this, I am pleased to announce the gathering of a National Youth Conference. This conference will be a platform to address the diverse challenges and opportunities confronting our young people, who constitute more than 60 per cent of our population,” Tinubu had said.

But appearing as a guest on Lunchtime Politics on Wednesday, Sowore stated that the current administration wants to compensate the youths “who are in the corner.”

“The agenda is to compensate some young people who are in their corner. These young people they are calling to a conference are probably Seyi Tinubu’s friends, not Nigerian youths,” he said.

“They cannot afford to have the real youths on the table. If I am invited, I will not go because I know in advance that this is a joke, nothing will come out of this.

“They want young people to feel like, ‘Oh, they belong.’ If you come to a national youth conference, they get it livestreamed, they will get them compensated and at the end of the day, nothing will come out of it.”

Sowore argued that youths do not need a national conference if they truly want to take over power.

He added that the young people who are serious about governance would team up in unity to actualise their plans.

So were is talking much

Sowore has never proffered any solution to Nigeria's problem, all he does is lead protests and criticize the government since the days of Goodluck Jonathan, at least Peter Obi has told Nigerians exactly what he will do different, but you see Sowore, nothing just criticism and fault finding.
