A group, known as the Visionary Young Nigerian Leaders Initiative (VYNLI) has declared readiness to take over the governance of Nigeria, saying the future belonged to them.
It said youth have the capacity to transform the country, as they constituted 70 per cent of votes that brought President Muhammadu Buhari into power in the last elections.
They also called on Omoyele Sowore, pro-democracy activist to abandon his #Revolutionnow movement and join them, saying his approach is not viable, as he has no grassroots supporters.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the convener, Hon. James Makeri said: “We will mobilise 100 million youths and women towards achieving this feat. The gerontocrats, who are holding Nigeria hostage through destructive policies and loans, mortgaging the future because their time on the political stage is fast fading, should give way for us to shape the sort of future befitting us and those coming after us.”
