Senegalese president: Nigerian youths prefer being aides to old politicians, says Sowore

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress , says Nigerian youths prefer being aides to old politicians instead of aspiring for top positions in the country.

Faye defeated Amadou Ba, Senegal’s former prime minister, and won 54 percent of the votes cast in the March 24 presidential election.Prior to the election, Faye was detained alongside Ousmane Sanko, his political mentor, who was accused of “defamation” among other offences.Speaking on the development, Sowore said Africans should not jubilate too soon over the election of Faye but wait to see the implications of his policies and programmes.

“The question is: what are our young people doing? Our young people are doing what I call ‘tag along’. They are more interested in becoming special assistants to governors or senators,” he said.
