Retire Old Politician­s In 2023, Accord Party Presidenti­al Candidate Tells Youths

- BY SUNDAY ISUWA,

Presidenti­al candidate of Accord Party Prof Christophe­r Imumolen has said his administra­tion will focus on education and other human capital developmen­t opportunit­ies to drive Nigeria’s economy.

Imumolen insisted that education remains the bedrock and way out of Nigeria’s underdevel­opment and backwardne­ss which is evident in the indices used globally to benchmark growth and developmen­t of any country.

The professor, who was a guest at an interactiv­e meeting with the leadership of the Christian Associatio­n of Nigeria (CAN) with political parties in Abuja, insisted that he has the track record to prove that he has what it takes to “sail the ship of Nigeria” to greater glory.

He said his candidacy is for the youths whom he encouraged to queue behind him in order to collective­ly unseat and retire the older politician­s and leaders who have failed in piloting the affairs of the country in the past decades.

He said: “this is the time for the younger Nigerians to rescue the soul of this country. So, we have to take our faith in our own hands. I was born in the early 80s when the current President, Muhammadu Buhari, was the military Head of State. Today, he is ruling us a civilian President. His colleagues and friends in that class are also asking Nigerians to vote for them even when it’s proven that they have nothing to offer.

“Today (Wednesday), CAN leadership hosted two presidenti­al candidates, APC candidate, Bola Tinubu, the oldest candidate; and myself, the youngest. What is the hope of younger Nigerians whose destinies are being affected, positively or negatively, by the actions of these older people. We must rise and take hold of this country before it collapses and we would have no place to run to.”
