Youths Participation In Politics Comes 2019, Evidence Of Shift In Politics Of Nigeria

By Elkabeer mafara

Our advocacy for good governance and inclusion of youths in politics is yielding a fruitful progress in Nigeria. Thus, it has never been easy but, we have no reasons to give up, it is about our state and the future generation of our younger ones, It is a dream that is becoming reality, evidently in the political cloud of 2019 that has started gathering momentum. Is a common goal that requires our full support with full participations, more especially at this time when our unity (As youths) is assent to be a threat in the eyes of the bad leaders who bend the throne of leadership to a business center for personal gain at the detriment of their followers. They were given the mandate to serve their community but in turn, give their wards, the bondage of sufferings and oblige an artificial poverty to their plebeians for political blessings.

It is higher time, we must no longer allow these corrupt politicians, disguising under religion or in the name of what ever religious slogans only to divide us and take the mantle of leadership which was their usual deceit right from the inception of politics in Nigeria, very unfortunately, we are not ready to learn from our mistakes and always, the masses tend to forgets their immediate past so easily. For the time being, we must no longer allow a single individual or few group of people to impose any candidate on us. However, the intention of an aspiring candidate must be clearly manifested; protection of public interest, to serve and build humanity for a better society.

What captured my attention in this regalia, is the caliber of youths breeding in our politics today, which I believe, is a signal and clear indication that Nigerian politics has shifted ground for the better.

This can be attested in the support and public acceptance winning by the people of humble with apprehensive human feelings, the likes of Anas hamisu lawal  (analyst), Kabiru amadu mai palace which speaks volume of their qualities, exposition of competency, resourcefulness and the zeal to exhibit excellent leadership style, the mergence of apostles of good governance with political excellent, the likes of Hambali Shiitu, yahaya  Abdullahi P.A, Jalaludeen Kabiru, Bilyaminu sani maradun, Mukhtar S Rafi Dandsadau, Adamu Abubakar ( kwatarkwashi) and whole lots of others yet to declare their intention, is an indication of shift in Nigerian politics, the passionate stand in politics of Nasirudeen A Yari, his courage and determination for competing in politics despise his age,  is worthy of tribute.

I am highly optimistic, that with composition of these teaming youths in political circle, our state will soon be secured, our treasury will be safe, our agricultural system will be restored, our health facilities will be adequate, our economy will be stable and our resources will be utilized to the fullest by the special grace of Allah.
