Duke made this call at the Nigeria Symposium for Young and Emerging Leaders which held on May 30, 2017, at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos. According to him, Nigerians behave like tenants in their country, thereby leaving older politicians and godfathers to take decisions on their behalf.
The former governor specifically stated that young Nigerians should stop acting like tenants in their own country, leaving older politicians to take decisions on their behalf.
“There is a lot of contempt in government now because there are no consequences to wrong actions by the government. The failure in the country is the youth inability to aspire for better lives and situations for themselves. They behave like tenants in their own country.”
