Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has encouraged younger Nigerians to assume leadership roles in the country as soon as possible.
According to Obasanjo, young people shouldn’t let anyone address them as future leaders because there’s a chance that tomorrow will never come.
Obasanjo asserted that some corrupt leaders would ruin the “so-called tomorrow” if the younger generation did not rise up and take control of their own future.
The former president made the assertions on Saturday during a special interview with former Super Eagles star, Segun Odegbami, on his Eagles7 Sports 103.7 FM, Abeokuta.
Fielding questions from Odegbami, Obasanjo said, “My advice for Nigerian youths is, never let anybody tell you that you are the leaders of tomorrow. If you wait for tomorrow before you take over leadership, that tomorrow may not come. They will destroy it.
“This is the time, youths get up and make it happen,” he said.
