While speaking at the Nigeria Symposium for Young and Emerging Leaders
in Lagos yesterday, former governor of Cross River, Donald Duke, said
Nigerian youths have become so distant from governance that they now
behave like tenants in their own country.
“Godfatherism grows out of mentorship. They are there to set you on a path, but do not let them enslave you.
Right now, Nigerian youths have the numbers to make
positive changes in this country, and they should use it. There is a lot
of contempt in government now because there are no consequences to
wrong actions by the government. The failure in the country is the
youths’ inability to aspire for better lives and situations for
themselves. They behave like tenants in their own country”he said
