Chief Bisi Akande, a former chairman of the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that it will be hard to find
honest young Nigerians to take charge of the country’s future. According to
Punch, Akande made his comments during a meeting with the Yoruba Patriotic
Movement in Ila Orangun, Osun state, on Monday, September 4.
He said: “The core value system is no more in
place. We have a mixture of the negative and positive tendencies among the
youth. “The negative tendencies are more than the positive ones. How do we get
sincere and good future leaders in the present society?” Akande also lamented over what he described as
the 'military orientation' still being practiced within the present day
democratic system in the country. He stated: “The military orientation of
controlling the political parties after leaving power is still being practiced
by the democratic government in the country; whereas it is the people of like
minds who ought to get together, form their parties and run them the way they
deem fit.”
