I don't know how Nigerian see the seat of power. Age is one of the important attribute of leadership because in age there is experience. The youth are expected to contest and occupy the seats of senate, house of Reps,State houses of Assembly but President and Governorship position is too big for Nigerian Youth.
The social media outrage of youth in a critical moment showed how we make unguided utterances & most of times we allow our emotion to override our sense of decorum. Imagine a young man surrounded by young advisers in a hot political atmosphere like #EndSars protest and his advisers tell him that the protest is politically motivated with backing of ethno-religious actors? The decision would be fatal for young lad.
If you've never been to senate, House of Reps or into any political capacity, I'm telling you those old hyenas will definitely make your government ungovernable and the whole youth who elected you will lose faith in you in 2 months.
We need patience and time to catch this step. If new party is to be formed do we expect the right people to contest? The same old class are the class that have enough financial power to either implant their children or their disciples to take over the party structure and the cycle continues.
Is it a divine revelation that the youth are saint and won't express their genotypic character after winning election? Many youth who have never been to politics are worse than the old class. Typical example, who was Yahaya Bello before 2011 election and as a young governor is he different from others? may be worst!
There are very many young face at the House of Reps who won election in 2019 and they now joined the class.
The founders of democracy, US are heading to general election with 2 candidates all above 70. If you don't have knowledge of foreign relation, governance, security, economy (not paper qualifications but the real local economy of the people), good understanding of the diversity & multicultural nature of Nigeria, I think before you understand all these you may risk collapsing the whole nation.
Most party delegates that chose the current and previous leaders are young Nigerians but still we need to enter the system and change it. If we're not careful they'll show us that age isn't just a number!

What about macron of France ? What about tradeu ? Bro truth be told age is not a trait of leadership But wisdom

All those aged men have failed us and that’s the fact

Don't ever for once think what's happening in Europe will reflect in Nigeria. They respect law, they're already developed, they're peaceful, they're not diverse, so what challenges do u think they'll face? The main roles of President or Prime minister in those countries is making good policies and maintaining good foreign relationship. We've policies but all isn't working here.

Now am asking you, it's been 60 years with the supposed elders / aged making laws, policies. Where has it landed us?

Whichever way we want it, let the youth take over every possible position (policy making) we can that can reflect on the new Nigeria we are all clamoring for.

Enough is enough. If we've given the elders 60 solid years and it's still a clear case of colossal failure the let the youth take over.

wowcatty:
Because what is 'fail' to you is a win to him.
