Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2023 general election, Mr. Dumebi Kachikwu has said the youngsters in Nigeria who should have championed new age politics are being hired by moneybag politicians.<\/p>\n

He lamented that the category of people being hired haven\u2019t realised that it was time they should be championing change in the political system, but they were being rented for \u2018crowd competition\u2019 by some presidential candidates, adding that this category of citizens lacked patriotic zeal to fight to rescue Nigeria from the woods.<\/p>\n

The ADC flagbearer spoke at a press conference on Monday, declaring that they are enemies of themselves for not being ready for good governance.<\/p>\n

According to him, bigger parties that are participating in the upcoming election have become experts in using these people to get themselves into power, adding \u201cif elections were to hold tomorrow, these same people who spend money on votes, who pay the electorate to vote for them will emerge because what we see in the field is that Nigerians are still not ready for the change they clamour for. That is our reality as of today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kachikwu said beer parlour talks and office discussions would not change anything, \u201cif the spent-horse politicians are not confronted with the truth\u201d, stressing that it\u2019s the faces of the same set of politicians decades ago that keep trending in media headlines.<\/p>\n

He wondered if the voice of the majority of Nigerians will drown the rich minority, saying that, \u201cbut what do you see? In recent times, you will see people under the sun and say they are rich. In the last few days you saw youth marching for Asiwaju; he showed us that he has his own youth also.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you see Nigerians who are supposed to champion a new age for Nigeria, the same youth are still being used by these people. Do we want change? We might desire it. Do we want change to the extent that we can say enough is enough? To say enough to these people? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on how he would campaign to wrestle power, the businessman cum politician said, he has four months to speak to Nigerians, which he hoped the majority who have been silent would come out to support him.<\/p>\n

He believed that when the majority comes out to back him and says \u201cenough is enough\u201d, the narrative would change.<\/p>\n

Kachikwu challenged political stakeholders, including those organising political debate to invite the 18 presidential candidates to tell Nigerians what each of them planned to offer and not the selective approach which they are doing now.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOrganisers of presidential debates should put their cats together as Nigerians don\u2019t tolerate the idea of limiting it to about four presidential candidates on the basis of their own polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose they are parading as known people are the same people responsible for the failure in the last three decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

He advocated that entrants into the race who are vibrant with new ideas be given the chance to feature in the presidential debate as \u201cwhat happened in the past will not be allowed to happen again\u201d.<\/p>\n

He insisted: \u201cNigerians need to stand up, come out and do the patriotic thing, which is to fight to rescue the country and not make themselves available for rent for stipends.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the vocal minority have been in power for several years against the silent and impoverished majority.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last two decades, we have had about 9.5 to 10.5 million people determining every four years who will be the president of Nigeria. 85 percent of those people reside in the rural areas and because of their condition, they were being lured with money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
