2023: Old Politicians Still Ruling Nigeria – Tunde Bakare
Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Citadel Global Community Church on Saturday condemned old politicians for refusing to leave the political stage for the youths.
The cleric further stated that it is a shame that the younger generation is taking over in other countries, while the reverse is the case in Nigeria.
According to Bakare, Nigeria’s development has suffered because of the marginalisation of the youth and the progressives who abandoned politics
The cleric stated this while speaking at the launch of an autobiography, “Footsteps of a Rebel’, written by the Babanla Adinni of Egbaland, Chief Tayo Sowunmi, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, to mark his 80th birthday.
Bakare while delivering a speech tagged ‘Worthy Nation Building Legacies By The Older Generation of Nigerians’ called for inter-generational re-integration between older and younger generations.
The cleric further stated that this would help rebuild the country.
He said, “It is a shame that while younger generations are taking over leadership in other countries, older generation refuses to leave the stage in Nigeria.
“The nation’s development has suffered because of the marginalisation of the youth and the progressives who abandoned politics.”
He also suggested mentoring and leadership development for the younger generation.
