The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has called for deliberate efforts in preparing the children and youth of Nigeria to become leaders of tomorrow
Gbajabiamila spoke at the National Children’s Dialogue to mark the 2021 Universal Children’s Day in Abuja yesterday where he explained that this was the reason he championed an amendment to the Electoral Bill 2021 for the use of Direct Primaries by political parties as a method of choosing candidates for elective offices.
This, according to him, was one of the surest ways of securing the future of Nigeria, by giving people with multiple ideas the opportunity to be at the very top of governance. “Young people must have a seat at the high table and we must create the enabling environment for them to be in leadership such that a young man with bold ideas can come out to vie for any position, be it legislator, governor or any other office. That can only be achieved through direct primaries, which will give a fair chance to the youth to be involved in governance,” he said.
