The youth constitute the greatest force in any polity. The
torrent of their power can dislodge and uproot the strongest political barrier
with ease.
However, one of the major impediments confronting the youth
is how to articulate and galvanise their divergent and multifarious interests
into one focus. This is where good, articulate, visionary, and dynamic youth
leadership becomes imperative.
For years, Peter Obi has been subtly sensitising, organising,
and nurturing the Nigerian youth through his various public speeches. He
recognises the potential capacity of the Youth to change the political dynamics
and direction of Nigeria.
The result?
The Nigerian youth are now determined more than ever before
to take over the reins of power. To them, the age-old maxim of the youth being
the leaders of tomorrow no longer holds any promise. Which tomorrow is it, they
ask?
Look at the composition of the current Buhari government.
Where is the strategy to integrate the youth into the body politic? Even the
first national effort to stop police brutality through the #EndSars protests
was summarily quashed by the same police and other military forces.
Again, look at the torch bearers of the main political
parties warming up for 2023. Where are the youth leaders of tomorrow (2023)?
They have been schemed out by dollar-bribing old political class. You can begin
to appreciate and applaud the vision and intelligence of Peter Obi when, having
read the handwriting on the wall, decided to jump out of the PDP vote-buying primaries.
This explains why Nigerian youth are coagulating and gravitating towards the Peter Obi Movement in their droves. They know that this Movement provides them the only veritable platform to bring their multifarious grievances into one potent force that can finally make NIGERIAN YOUTH THE LEADERS OF TODAY.
They know that the man Peter Obi symbolises accountability, probity,
opportunity, job creation, and sustainable development. Not the
corruption-ridden, bribe-distributing group of old and clueless band of
political turncoats that populate the leadership of the other parties.
