 Young people don't necessarily need Godfathers to make it up the ladder of politics. This were the words of the PDP candidates for the Lagos State House of Assembly, Babashala Wajay. He insisted that young people most see themselves as capable leaders and take their place as chain makers now more than ever. Political parties operate with systems. They are institutionalised systems that govern these political parties. So it's not going to be an easy fit. Right, we have the bill, but it would take some time for young people to be blended into these systems. For too long we've had a situation whereby a lot of the young people shied away from politics. Now the government has encouraged us by having an enabling environment where young people should be encouraged to come into politics. But the political parties have quite a number of work to do. Look at the PDP for example, just last year we had our youth leader, a national youth leader who got elected at the age of 25. If that's so much encouragement on the part of the PDP and it's a situation whereby other political parties need to emulate. Success is gradual. Whatever would effect change cannot happen overnight. So we need to prepare for that long journey. Look at all the political actors now, I mean I wouldn't mention names on air but we can tell that those that struggled for independence didn't start at age 40, at age 50. They started in their 20s.
