Shehu Sani Critiques Youth for Backing Failed Politicians

Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, expressed concern that Nigerian youth are choosing to buy nomination forms for politicians who have previously failed them rather than supporting their own candidates. He noted that this trend reflects a misallocation of resources, as young Nigerians continue to channel their energy into backing political elites instead of mobilizing for their own political representation.

Sani emphasized the importance of transforming social media influence into active political participation, urging the youth to take advantage of the opportunities available to them. He questioned why young people do not utilize their resources to support candidates who genuinely represent their interests, instead of contributing financially to the campaigns of established politicians who have not delivered for the younger generation.
