Youth, Politics, and Nigeria's Future | Nigeria News

When Peter Obi’s convoy was blocked by youths in Benue State, he clarified his mission was humanitarian—not political—and sharply criticized Nigeria’s broken politics. Isaac Fayose, brother of Ekiti’s former governor, fired back, blaming the youth—not politicians—for Nigeria’s chaos, arguing poverty has turned them into pawns. He challenged them: if they’re so angry about Obi’s visit, why can’t they stop the terrorists killing their own families? Fayose also took aim at Benue Governor Hyacinth Alia, urging the youth to rise up against insecurity instead of letting themselves be manipulated. The episode exposes a nation torn between anger, poverty, and the urgent need for young Nigerians to reclaim agency.
