And christine will welcome to the program im glad your children votes are being counted off to nigerias election finally leaves a place at the weekend so wolf Muhammadu Buhari stage a comeback or will his main challenger. Pull the rug from under his feet well theres not a whole lot of polling Data Available but analysts have said its going to be a close contest at least thirty five people are said to have died in violence in the run up to the election but the African Union sais the poll was generally peaceful now thats important because elections in nigeria can be deadly in two thousand and eleven more than eight hundred people died in post election protests in the north wind blow hard it was defeated so its not. Surprise praise for peace are being held in Church Services all over the country as nigerians wait for the results this report now from africa. Theres only one topic on peoples minds this Pentecostal Church the election that also goes for the pastor. The president is. Here just to crouch to refrain from violence that he always a member of the congregation to twenty five year old is grateful that things here remain peaceful unlike in other parts of nigeria. During service its irrelevant who voted for whom its after church when the discussion moves beyond the gospel. There are more than fourteen million you want to read just supporters this time around compared to twenty fifteen and many of them have voted for the very first time they want to bring about change young people younger than thirty years old like you danielle youre one of the people who voted for the first time what kind of change and see change in policies that affect us as youths and young people are going to see changes that economy quite quickly daniels friends begin a heated debate about the future of the economy they just have been handicapped we dont even want to move there is no. Want to move to the other side and. Tell. Those friends of danios who received a voters card on time voted for a car a challenger to incumbent president bihari not because they believe things with chain. Job or night but because this year Different Administration is key for the youth to claim power one day we are no longer waiting for the government young people i read and young people who are forced treated and deer are determined right now to peace to get themselves what they want to get. People under thirty are already in the majority in nigeria they know that population growth young people will have more power if they actually use it to hold politicians accountable that process has just started as people like daniel and need to and their friends are getting older. Ok and ill send a girl also how did election this weekend in the country is now awaiting the official results just like nigeria senegal is a Young Country seventy percent of the population is under the age of thirty and those young people yield considerable power when it comes to politics so failing to deliver for the young generation in senegal is a risky tax break for any politician seeking to stay in power seven years ago macky sall was propelled to victory by a vibrant Youth Movement that was insistent on sweeping away the old god that movement has scored yamaha which means were fed up in english now the people that powered that movement back for this election and they have a new message take a listen. But. All right im now joined by one of the activists from the young Amal Movement ts he is also a member of the band kitty and they released a song that weve just been listening to chat its great to have you on the news africa welcome your soul was a hit before the election when one takes a look at you tube over a million views so youre pretty influential in senegal what was your message to young people this time round. Yeah thank you for inviting me i mean that was really important for us to do this kind of song before the election because we knew that much sadder would ask for a second round for a second term and then sort of second term he will he has to say ok this is what i achieved during the seven years of my systems and then we knew that he got a lot of promises and nothing was true so in that song particular we told him ok you promised you would do five years instead of seven that was a lie he said you will have and twenty five minister that was a lie you say that your your brother would not be involved in the Political Affairs was found out or even your family the family of your wife are hardly new stars for this and so he did much you were doing a summary of the seven years of my message to the people and for them to be aware before the election to do not vote for him ok so its interesting because you were ill he all movement was really credited for helping not to sell come to power you have since turned your back on him if this is some of the reasons why and what are you hoping for young people for senegal what is the message that you want to them now which candidate are you now endorsing. Yeah i was saying that it would help much still to come in the power i would say that we fought against a lot and then much of our challenger capitalize the fact that we will rule fighting against that was the case so the hope is the real change is struggling with what we call the type of politician that without much. About the countries they have a puppet on the power you reap what we all know that much is a toy is a Political Science look at whats happening in our country now we can belong to two French Companies a much nationalist here so we need something fresh and new we need the definitive revolution i want you to have a listen because our correspondent has been talking to people on the streets of senegal what is that and have a listen to one woman who spoke to us have a listen to what she said id like for you to comment on that second essence. Start on him this vision we want young people to be given more responsibility we are sick of being lured older people always seems to be given priority here so its time that the needs of the Younger Generation are also recognised by this countrys political systems is there be. Ok so calling for young people not to be ignored what is your response to this very quickly as we close this interview i dont think that theyre going to listen to the young people now any more of a legal system to let people young people get for at least you know like last election like yesterday their young people are showing that they really sort of change and i dont agree with the fact that people didnt we nobody listened to us yet people are listening to a very well because we are the majority of the country so definitely we want to go to the change and thats what we demand thats why election people here like to do not put so much thought in my duty all right. Thank you so much coming to us from duck from the young and well of mint and the clarity band thank you.
