Former Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has lamented the inability of the present administration to effect the release of over 200 school girls abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents in Chibok, Borno State exactly one year ago. Fayemi who described the callous act of the insurgents as highly ignoble, said the experience of the students as well as their parents and family members is saddening and traumatising. He added that the situation was made worse by the failure of the present administration to properly coordinate and effect the release of the missing girls a year after.

The elections have come and gone. Heroes and villains alike have emerged as we move on as a country along the path of healing and reconciliation after a most divisive election that stretched the nation at the seams. The documentation of the history of the elections would however be incomplete without the accounts of the role of Nigeria’s youth. To start with, young Nigerians below the age of 35 make up about 70 percent of the population. Nigeria’s unemployment rate is spiralling upwards, growing at 16% per year. The youth of the nation are the most impacted, with a youth unemployment rate over 50%. We are the demographic group that most bears the brunt of the effects of bad governance and failed campaign promises. It is therefore understandable that the youth in their numbers energized the campaigns of the two leading parties in the elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections. I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.
