Ahead of 2023, leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation
Force, NDPSF, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has said the youths in Nigeria must step
forward and take power from the older generation.
Asari made the remark while backing former military Head of
State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB, remark on the age bracket of Nigeria’s next
president.
Babangida had recently listed qualities the next president
of Nigeria should possess.
Among the qualities listed, the former military ruler said
the next president should be within 60 years of age.
IBB also pointed out that the next president of Nigeria
should have friends everywhere, must also be well-versed in economics, and be a
good politician able who has the capacity to talk to Nigerians.
Reacting, Dokubo said the older generation of leaders have
failed, hence the youths should rise up.
The former militant leader spoke, in a video on his Facebook
page where he blamed Nigeria’s challenges on bad leadership caused by the older
politicians.
He also urged the youths to unite and pick those who can
bring about change in Nigeria.
According to Dokubo: “The younger generation must step
forward now and take power. Power is not given, power is taken.
“Now that the older generation has realized that they
failed. Ibrahim Babangida had come out to say that it is time for these people
to retire. And that is the truth. They have nothing to offer.
“We have to look beyond their shoulders for much younger
people to take over leadership positions, and correct the wrongs and the
stagnation that the black race has been put into.
“For Ibrahim Babangida, I say thank you for the first time,
for saying what will change and totally revolutionise the face of politics in
this part of the world.
“So, for us, young people, we should come together, and
identify those of us who are capable of leading this change. This is the time.”
