While 2023 is not yet here, it is important that we prepare dutifully well for it as the year 2023 will no doubt shape the future of our dear nation.
Recent political activities over the last few months in Nigeria lays a great significance to the importance of the year 2023 to the course of national development. In the wake of the various issues and challenges been faced by the nation Nigeria, the various factors militating against its progress and development which the past and present members of the political class has been unable to curb or resolve, many have agitate that there is a need for power shift in the nation.
One of these various arguments for power shift is that the present political class should make way for the younger generation to contribute their quota to national development, bringing in ideas worthy of the 21st century to solve our various national woes.
This argument has continued to grow more base, as various bodies, stakeholders and people have called that the nation come 2023 elect a young candidate for president.
Even as the race for 2023 continue to generate more activities within our socio-political setup, who can we trust to deliver, the old or the young?
Should we continue to support the old crop of politicians on the claims that they are better suited because of their experience or should we give the baton to the younger generation who will believe will be more resourcesful and proactive in handling the issues of this great nation.
This dilemma can only be answered by Nigerians who are the electorate themselves, and it is the hope of many that the system will be fair and just to allow the electoral institution give the electorate the platform to make their choice
