It has become very imperative for me to write this here so as to get some of us who aren't vast with politics, informed on certain things. Some of the many reasons why Nigerian youths would never rule this country anytime soon, is ignorance, lack of wisdom and knowledge, amongst other things. I see people screaming on social media about us trying out a younger candidate in a relatively new and unknown party and I wonder what kind of miracles they want to perform. Let me just educate these clueless folks a bit so they know what's at stake.

For inec to declare a candidate the winner of the election, the candidate must poll the highest number of eligible votes casted and must in addition to this, score minimum of 25% of votes casted in the places where he lost. Failure to achieve this would lead to a rerun. If a candidate sweeps the entire south or north and loses woefully in the north/south, even if he has the highest number of votes, he cannot be declared as president elect. This provision was made so as to ensure that whoever becomes Nigeria's president, must be acceptable to, and have the backing of citizens across the different parts of the country.
Now, I want you to ask yourselves where Kingsley moghalu, omoyele sowore, Eunice adejoke, fela durotoye, oby ezekwesili would get the 25% votes in the north assuming all of us decide to vote for them in the south. The politics of Nigeria as at today, is structured in a way that these guys who are young breed of politicians, cannot meet up with that constitutional requirement to be president. A vote for these guys is an indirect vote for buhari as it would only reduce atiku's votes. The coming election is simply between atiku and buhari and we all agree that Nigeria needs a surgical procedure to enable us remove the cancer that manifests today in form of the buhari led government. This is an operation that requires every hand to be on deck and we cannot waste this chance. Fela durotoye and Co should have gone to the Senate to build strong political alliances ahead of 2023. Before you cast that vote, know what is at stake. Atiku might not be a very perfect candidate to most of us but the point is that, we must elect a new government and we need to vote for a candidate who has a good chance of winning. While we are doing that, we must equally develop capable replacements who we can elect come 2023 that would herald and usher in a new set of leaders. Anything other than that, would be a catastrophe for us as a nation. This is the reality of what is on ground today.

For those screaming for new leaders, this is the only way we can achieve it but if you think you have better ideas, let us know.

Nb: the single factor why most of these new guys can't win, is simply the hurdle of getting 25% of votes cast in the north.

At least, let's inform the electorates on the internet who are championing and fighting a cause that they don't know how it would affect the country on the long run.
