The two-term presidential candidate of the African Action Congress(AAC), Omoyele Sowore has knocked Nigerian youths for doing what is referred to as "tag-along."

Sowore made the assertion while featuring on Channels Television's program "Politics today" said that the Nigerian young people are more interested in becoming special assistants to governors or senators, instead of aspiring to be  a leader.

He faulted the attitude of Nigerian youths to politics in light of the swearing-in of 44-year-old Bassirou Diomaye Faye as the youngest Senegalese President.

It would be recalled that Faye was sworn in as the President of Senegal on Tuesday in Dakar.

While this has elicited hopes that other African countries especially Nigeria will follow a similar path in electing young people, Sowore said youths in the country are majorly preoccupied with scheming to become Personal Assistants(PAs) to governors and other leaders.
