While speaking to the youths over the past weekend in Abuja at a dinner and lecture organised by the Nigerian Youths Parliament, Dino Melaye disclosed that it was high time those he termed 'old cargoes' were chased out of the political scene.
So, who is Dino Melaye referring to as old cargo?
The senator said if the youths must weed out the old politicians successfully, it is imperative for them to come out and participate in politics and take their rightful positions in leadership.
Dino Melaye, noted that there was no way someone in his 70s can still be
in a leadership position in the Nigerian polity if the youths are
effectively involved and in charge, adding that youths constitute over
60% of the electoral votes that can be used by them to determine who
emerges as leader in the country at whatever level.
Dino admonished the youths to stop wasting their youthful energy on non-productive ventures, saying they should, instead, engage in politics, economics and social activities.
His words, “You must picture the future you want to feature in. You need to develop your capacity. There is no way someone in his 70s can still be in a leadership position in the Nigerian polity if you the youths are effectively involved and in charge.”
