Squeeze Older Generation out of Office - Obasanjo advises African Youths




Nigeria's former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed the way African youths can take over leadership position from older generations. 
The former president said the older generation would continue to occupy the leadership positions until they were evicted from the stage. 

Obasanjo maintained that leadership positions would not come to the youths until they “squeeze older generation out of office”.

The Nation reports that the former president made this known on Wednesday, August 12, during a virtual interactive session with youths to mark the 2020 International Youth Day. 

Obasanjo also advised the youths to demand that affirmative action is encapsulated in the constitution of political parties, as part of strategies to ease out the old generation of leaders.
