The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has said young Nigerians who make up 60 per cent of the population must elect good leaders and create a better country in 2023.
Kukah stated this during an interview on Channels Television.
Speaking on the role of youths in the 2023 elections, Kukah said young Nigerians will determine the outcome of the next general election.
The Catholic bishop added on Thursday that it would be a tragedy for young Nigerians if they did not see that they had the opportunity to change the country
“This election, whether we like it or not, is going to be determined by the young people of Nigeria, who are better informed and far more patriotic than those who governed them,” he said.
“They love this country more than those who governed them and understand where the rest of the world is going far better than those who governed them.
“So guess what? If you are young, there is a job for you — change this country. The wonderful part of this story is that we say that young people make up about 60 percent of the population of Nigeria. This is their moment; they have the ability and capacity.
