Acting National Leader of Yoruba socio political organization, Afenifere, has described Nigerian youths as failures and a disappointment to older generation.

Pa Adebanjo castigated the youths for failing the Country saying: “The younger generation has failed the Country. The Country was not as bad as this when we were demonstrating for self-governance.

He was speaking during the 95th birthday of the immediate past leader of the group, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, and the dedication of a Church in his honor at Iju/Ita Ogbolu in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Pa Adebanjo, stated that “they want the old men to fight their cause for them. Why should people like me be in the trenches at 93 and Baba Fasoranti at 95. Where are those in their 40s and 30s?

“When we were at their age, we were in the street, at Lagos, London, everywhere and in the University.

“You are PDP in the morning, APC in the afternoon and SDP in the evening, and they say they are young, the youths should be ashamed of themselves.”

He, however, expressed optimism that there is light at the end of the tunnel, saying “as a Christian, I still have hope.

“If Nigerians are conscious of their right, and they know what to do, but where is the demonstration in the country that the Buhari government must go?”

To end carnage, kidnapping and anditry in the country, the Yoruba leader restated the call on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign or step aside.

Chief Ayo Adebanjo, pointed out that the Buhari led Government has incapacitated the Country and has failed to address the increasing wave of insecurity and downturn of the economy.

Adebanjo said that with the series of challenges confronting the country, President Buhari ought to have resigned voluntarily long ago .

According to him, the President has failed the people of the country, saying there is no better time to leave but now.

”I have told them that in a better and civilized country he should have gone long ago. If he has self-respect, he should have gone because everything has  failed.

“What is he presiding over? Is it over corruption, security, education.? Law and order have broken down in the country for the past three years. It is only because Nigerians are over tolerance of despots, that is why he is still there.”
