Pastor Sam Adeyemi has urged the older generation to work for the welfare of the country, warning that the youths will hold them accountable.
On Tuesday, the priest and Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre (DCC) spoke out, blaming it on adolescents’ access to information.
He stated that leaders from all sectors must work together to improve the country in the face of difficulties confronting Nigeria.
“The elite class – those of us who belong to this class – need to begin to discuss among ourselves and honestly, we need to act with urgency and I need to plead with those of us in the elite class and I am talking about everyone who has been able to walk their way to the top and fairly comfortable and I am talking about people of the highest level in the political class at the National Assembly, the governors, state house assembly and so on. I am talking of those of us in the business sector and those who are heads of religious institutions,” he said on Channels Television’s breakfast show Sunrise Daily.
“It will be in our self-interest to get Nigeria to work now because the younger generation is more enlightened and have access to more information and they are not going to keep silent for long. It will get rougher and rougher to lead because they will demand accountability and good leadership.”
