“The clamour by the younger segment of the population for a president of youth extraction probably led to some persons migrating to other political parties and attempting to dress themselves in the garbs of youths.

“But we all know that once a person grows past a certain age bracket, he can no longer be referred to as a youth.
“So, strictly following that analogy, I can unabashedly say that I am the only authentic youth going into the 2023 presidential elections. I need to make this categorically clear in order to sensitise the youths in this regard.
“Now, beyond making that clarification, I want to let the youths know that I represent their voices, that I am the one who knows their problems and therefore naturally positioned to solve them.
“They should know that this is a unique opportunity for them to make a bold statement about the much sought after paradigm shift in the power equation of this country.”
