The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Jigawa State, Mustapha Sule Lamido, has called on young voters to use their numerical strength to vote out what it described as the “old generation of leaders” in the 2027 general elections.
He made the call during a sympathy visit to Sintilmawa village in Ringim Local Government Area.
Represented by Comrade Aminu Abdullahi Ringim, Lamido said both Nigeria and Jigawa State need a new generation of leaders who are youthful, energetic, and in tune with the aspirations of young people.
According to him, the leadership style of the older generation has failed to address the needs and expectations of the youth.
“We are tired of the old generation leadership style. We need somebody who is modern, energetic, and understands the yearnings and aspirations of the youth,” he said.
Lamido stressed that young people constitute about 80 per cent of the electorate and have a decisive role to play in shaping the future of the state and the country.
“We have the power to change the old order. How can we continue to allow them to determine our future? We are the majority, and we must use our votes wisely in the 2027 election,” he added.
Comrade Aminu said the future of Jigawa State and Nigeria rests largely in the hands of the youth, urging them to participate actively in the democratic process and support leaders who can deliver meaningful change.
