National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Reverend Samson Ayokunle, has described the recycling of old politicians, “who are already showing signs of tiredness as a result of age”, as unfair to the nation.
He also berated politicians who imposed their children in political positions after they leave such seats, as well as governors who move to the National Assembly after serving in their states, as contributing to not allowing youth fulfil their mandate to develop the nation.His words: “Recycling of all politicians who are showing sign of tiredness because of age is not fair to the nation and the youth who may be robbed of their opportunity to showcase their talents and contribute to the development of the nation.”
He stated this as part of his address to mark Nigeria’s 58th Independence Day celebration, on Monday, according to a statement by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant (Media & Communications) to the CAN President.
Ayokunle, who urged the present administration to ensure the release of Leah Sharibu from the captivity of Boko Haram, also called for more efforts to ensure improved security in the country.
