Nigeria is not ripe for youth president – MKO Abiola’s son

The winner of 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola’s son, Abdulmumuni Abiola, has said the country is not ripe for a youth president.

Abiola told journalists at the maiden national youth summit organised by The Zealous Kwara Youths in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Saturday, that though he was hopeful that a youth could become president someday, it was imperative to give President Muhammadu Buhari a second chance, The Punch reports.

He said:

“I do believe that there shall be a time, just like in Canada and France, when we have somebody that is around 30 in power. I don’t just think that time is right. I think there is a reason why Buhari is there and I would want us to be patient to see him through.

We should give him another four years and he will handover power to the youth.

“I do not have anybody else to campaign for. Somebody after 20 years honoured my father and did what other people refused to do, so I am supporting Buhari for a second term.”

The President of the ZKY, Mr John Adegboyega, said it was necessary to sanitise Nigeria of corrupt practises.

Adegboyega added that 2019 was not yet time for a youth to become president.

He said the youth should participate actively in the political process and elect people who would deliver good governance and move the country forward.

  41. It’s high time we give our youths the chance to try. Not these old men who are playing pranks with Nigerian leadership as if it’s their heritage or maybe their birth rite or rather their personnel company.

  42. We are tired of their cruelty and inhumane attitude. We need CHANGE but not the buharia’s kind of. God forbid

  63. They didn’t go for governor, honourable, representatives,Senate, commissioner,ministers but president
