Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele
Fayose, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, over his comments on the young
people in Nigeria.
Fayose, writing on his Twitter
page, stated that the future of youths in the country was “mortgaged by past
leaders like President Buhari”.
He wrote: “Nigerian youths are
hardworking, intelligent and enterprising. Their future was mortgaged by past
leaders like President Buhari, who had everything at their beck and call as
youths.
“I imagine the youths of today having
half of the opportunities available in the 50s and 60s.
“At 19, President Buhari left
Secondary School to join the Army. At age 21,he was commissioned a second
lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in
Abeokuta, Nigeria. Where can our youths get such opportunity today?”
Buhari, speaking at the
Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on Wednesday, said youths prefer to
do nothing because they feel Nigeria is an oil-rich nation.
According to Buhari, a lot of Nigerian
youths have not been to school, yet they want everything free.
