I stand with him tho. Power is for the youths, yes but it isn't going to be given to us just because we are youths. We need to come together , probably form a political party and actually contest or else , we will just keep saying the 'future is ours' until the future passes us by. Also , our generation needs to learn that criticism can be done without insults. Infact when you add insults to criticism , there is a high probability that you won't achieve what you set out to achieve because the person stops listening to the point and concentrates on the insults .

What he really meant was that young people should actively participate in the electioneering process and not just sit and insult politicians while expecting the politicians to come and dash dem power without making efforts.

Mediablare:
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said insulting leaders on social media will not change how things are in Nigeria.

In a statement on his official Facebook page, the governor advised youth who wish to chase old people from power to join a party and participate in the process.



He said, ”Young people think insulting leaders on social media will change the way things are in Nigeria.

”No one would hand over the mantle of leadership to you simply because you’re young.

”If you want to chase “old people” from positions of power, you must join a party and participate in the process no matter how bad, dirty and dangerous you think it is.”

very good rufai.dese youths insulting d leaders won't even vote for a fellow youth if he contests. dey think dat leadership is given on a platter.when ikemba contested in 2003,how many of my Igbo brodas voted for him?instead we foolishly voted massively for a Yoruba man but after,we will be shouting upandan of being marginalized. same thing is happening among our youths who thinks dat leadership is gotten by attacking every politician on d internet without participation. Yul edochie didn't get up to 5k votes in anambra yet,youths make up more dan 50%of d state population. if a youth even has d courage to challenge for d presidency now, it's still fellow youths dat will online to laugh at d person and will advise him to save his money

MrMystrO:
It's Sad because the man is actually Right.. and believe me this is a very sensitive Topic but just look at the comments on here, it Just goes to show you that Nigerians actually get what they deserve. Anytime a politician touches on a very sensitive topic, our people show they are not mentally sound enough to comprehend, instead of attacking the Topic raised, they attack the person raising the topic instead and so the politicians have no choice than to keep feeding us the watered down propaganda News that they've been feeling us for ages because that's the only kind of information Nigerians Comprehend. Such a shame.
Very sad my brother!

Most responses by us youths here on Nairaland truly show that we deserved the mediocre leadership that we suffer.

People just read the misleading headline and drew daggers. Meanwhile the man has only said the truth. Do they think that political power is on wheels coming to knock on people's doors to come and assume power? You must join the electoral process!

Deride him all you want, but ElRufai has done well and has also tried by calling us out to participate.

What young people in Nigeria dont understand is ....no one is given power, rather power is taken

All these old men we are complaining about where bold and took power when they were young and have held on to it
The youth need to understand that they are more in number, they need to join the movement and make things happen....join or form their own political party.....ignore the bribes and stand for what is right, take hold of their birthright......ITS THE ONLY WAY

Mister El-Rufai..
We don't want to participate in your so-called leadership..
We are interested in choosing who would lead us, so let the ones we chose to lead us lead us well..
We are the voters..
If you mess up, we will insult you, and still vote you out..
We don't have to be members of any party in order to vote, or do we.??

My dear, even if it’s just 1, that’s enough to win the vote of all youths o. But I know of 3.
Yul Edochie, Fela Durotoye, and the young guy who just register d his own party (Gbemi of Beat FM’s brothe).

Justeenaleo:
First of all how many young Nigerians are contesting or planning to contest?

Re: We Won’t Handover Power To Young Nigerians Just because They Insult Us– El-rufai by Nobody:
The youth should deploy the 'Godswill Akpabio method 'of chasing old people away. What is the "Godswill Akpabio method?"

Between 2007 to 2015, thousands of Akwa Ibom people, mostly old men, were killed in the state. A Paramount Ruler was killed. Lecturers, musicians, doctors, retired military officers were routinely slaughtered. Several deputy governors even resigned and ran away, nobody was spared. A former governor ran away from the state for the 8 years, otherwise they would have been killed. They would only make statements from far away Lagos.

Opposition candidates were not even allowed to announce their interest to run for governor during Akpabio's reign. If you wanted to compete against Akpabio, you go to Calabar, Cross River State to campaign to be governor of Akwa Ibom.

You were not allowed to complain during Akpabio!

Those who escaped Akpabio's hack politics were the ones who ran away from the state. The rest became houseboys to Akpabio. Former senators, Air Force Chief, ministers, military administrators all succumbed.

Infact as I write this there is a list going around on the internet that show all the victims that were slaughtered and survivors. Today, Akwa Ibom State is quiet for Udom Emmanuel because those who'd dare to oppose were all killed during Akpabio governorship.

Godswill Akpabio was the first youth to govern Akwa Ibom. So, if the youth wants to take over they must 'clean house' using Godswill Akpabio's method. Complaining on the internet just won't cut it!


Remimadrid:
This is one of the reason the country cannot move forward, no matter how hard we lie to ourselves. The youths are the future of the country, but the old cabals won't give way. El Rufai(FAILURE) is a disgrace to those that bear the title of governors all over the world.

I have been to both APC and PDP conventional meetings and the youths don't have the chance to speak out. The supposed youths you see speaking up are 40 and above....


El rufai should just shut up already, The youths are active on politics but are not given the chance.


From the arrangement of the meeting, the top men are seated on the front and the supposed 40yrs old youths are always behind....
there's a reason they're behind. They not worthy. It's not by age but by effort
