Nigerian youths are set to form a new political party as they declared their intention to establish the “Youth Democratic Party of Nigeria”.
The declaration of their intention came in the wake of recent protests geared towards ending police brutality in the country.
A recent visit to Twitter this morning showed that the hash tag #YouthDemocraticParty was currently trending and quickly accelerating to the top.
According to tweets by Nigerian youths, they want a complete overhaul of the system that has failed them since independence, 60 years ago.
Many were of the opinion that the older generation has ruled and failed for too long a time and it is time for the younger generation to takeover the governance of the nation.
On funding, a Twitter user suggested that an online fundraiser be created so that youths would collectively donate to enable them register the party and also support their chosen candidates.
