2023: Flush Out Bad Leaders, Experts Tell Students

Nigerian students in higher institutions of learning have been asked to mobilise and flush out bad leaders during the 2023 general election.
Speaking during the Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series organised by the Students Wing of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) at the College of Education, Gumel, Jigawa State, Alhaji Shehu Dalhatu, who chaired the event, charged the students as custodians of the future to work to replace the bad leaders who had monopolised the political fortunes of the country since 1999.
Dalhatu noted that the majority of those in leadership positions in local government councils and state Houses of Assembly are below the age of 40 and wondered why students in the same age bracket would not rise to check their excesses.
On his part, the keynote speaker, Dr. Saidu Ahmed Dukawa, said to underscore the importance of students’ vigilance over the direction our country is headed, statistics have shown the rise in students enrolment from 1999. 
Dr Saminu Umar, lamented that at no time had free and credible elections ever been conducted in Nigeria by those he referred to as lying political elite who manipulated religion, ethnicity and regional sentiments to distort the minds of the electorate.
