Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Nigerian youths have been called upon to foster positive change for the country by choosing wisely and desist from clinging to those whose personal and selfish ambition is to rule the country.
This call was made at a town hall meeting held in Nasarawa State by the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dumebi Kachikwu.
Dumebi Kachikwu while addressing the gathering noted that leadership qualities meant that a leader was expected to share in the problems and pains of the masses and far from selfish interests.
Kachikwu tasked youths with the responsibility of choosing capable leadership that will deliver the country from its present predicament adding that they should elect one who will fight and defend their course
“What leadership means is that I have to share in your problems, I have to feel your problems and feel the pains, what touches you must touch me, that’s what makes a good leader. My job as your leader is to show you how to convert what you have into wealth, show you how to make money so that you can feed your family. I will fight for you and I will defend you.
“I offer to send a message to this people that I am not afraid.
They believe that they have made us afraid so that we will not even come out. I am not afraid so you should not be afraid of the. I want to tell the youth of Nigeria stop following these people, don’t be deceived, don’t be afraid, we are more than them”, he said.
According to him, every component part of Nigeria was blessed with those who have the talents and abilities to pilot the affairs of Nigeria and we must create the enabling environment for these people to emerge in government and governance also stating that “Nigeria will no longer be associated with mediocrity as we will invest in our citizens, our greatest asset.
He also called on Nigerians to give a chance to quality and capable leadership that will engineer systems and processes that will ensure that citizens don’t turn to corruption by default.
