2023 Elections: Nigerian Youths Not Ready To Take Their Destinies In Their Hands – Soyinka

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has faulted Nigerian youths for their inability to stake a claim in the country’s political arena.

He made the comment on Thursday during a press conference in Lagos, asking youths to build a formidable bloc to challenge the existing order.

“The youths of this nation don’t seem to want to take their destiny in their own hands,” he said.

Soyinka recalled that he was part of the move for youths to present a consensus candidate during the 2019 election but lamented that such did not materialise.

“Well, they failed to do that and I have a fear that this same thing will happen this year,” the revered poet explained.
