….Says era of recycling candidates over
By Chris Ochayi
A former Presidential candidate of Nigeria Community Movement Party, NCMP, in the 2019 presidential elections, Comrade Ademola Babatunde, has charged youths to firmly resist any attempt to foist mediocre or a recycled president on the country in the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections.
Comrade Babatunde, who gave the charge, while speaking as panelist during the 50th birthday symposium in honour of Omoleye Sowore in Abuja, said the country has had enough cases of bad leadership due to recycling and imposition of candidates and therefore continuing with such trend was unacceptable.
Babatunde, while advocating for paradigm shift in the electioneering process in the future elections, lamented that there system was crafted in such a way to favour a segment of the people in the country whereby their children were line up in different places of leadership to rule over children of the poor perpetually.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has told the Nigerian government that his generation may be the last set of people who are going to carry placards to solve the problems of the country.
He warned that if the government failed to address the myriads of problems confronting the country, the younger generation of Nigerians might not subscribe to carrying placards and protesting on the streets but rather choose any means of achieving their aims.
