“Don’t just sit down and complain. Sitting down and complaining will make you be on the same level and you have to get what I called the critical mass of likeminded people who will be ready to say let us bring about the change."- Olusegun Obasanjo (Former President of Nigeria)

Dear Nigerian Youths,

You have the numbers, capacity, and strength to not only be involved but also dominate politics and governance in Nigeria. If you wait for the older generation to leave the stage for you, you are likely to wait till eternity. Now is the time to be on the stage!

Remember,

power is not served a la carte,

you have to struggle for it.

This is not a sprint, it is a marathon, start now!

President Buhari on Thursday, February 4th extended the tenure of the Inspector General of Police (IGP),

Mohammed Adamu for three months to give time to provide time for proper selection of the new IGP. Mr Adamu was to have retired on

Monday, February 1, 2021

. 

Did President Buhari just become aware of the IGP's retirement? 

Does he realize the tenure extension contravenes the amended Police Act 2020 which he personally signed into law?

Why didn't he plan early for his replacement?
