      See this article from 2015 on how many young people were candidates for elections but sadly, age counted against themhttps://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/175270-exclusive-inec-clears-underage-candidates-contest-senate-house-reps-elections.html …

      No one is asking for office on a platter of gold. We are not seeking a quota but that young people should be allowed to run for offices they can't currently due to age limits.

      And let the electorate make the choice from a larger field.

      I'll add this to my post but here first. How many of the advocates are actually too young to run? In 2019, under the Present constitution a "child" born in 1979 can run for President 1984 - Governor, Senate 1989 - House of Representatives LGA Chairman 1994 - Councillor

      Is the present issue that a person born in 1984 illegible for President? Or that one of 1989 illegible for Senate? Or 1994 illegible for House of Representatives? My guy, do you honestly think that's the problem?

      We have never advocated that it's the silver bullet to all of our problems. But for a youth-focused movement, it is one of the factors against quality youth participation in politics.

      How on earth has it stopped youth participation? Is it until a child born in 1999 can run for President that youth participation will increase? Calculate your age in 2019. How has the current constitution stopped you from being active? I don't like distractions. This is one.

      If I wanted to run for a legislative office in 2015, it would have stopped me. I was less than 30 then.

      And except you could run for House of Representatives you would not be interested in participating in politics? Say working with someone running for that's office or Senate (your age bracket) and get first hand experience before coming of age?

      I agree with both of you, it is not a magic fix for youth participation in politics. It's also harmless, considering that some people have been denied the opportunity to contest in the past due to their age.

      There is opportunity cost to a distracting campaign I concede that I should "go and do my own and leave those working on this" but I like conversations. I'll prioritize reforming the primary process, party membership + independent candidacy. This tweet just gave me an idea💡

          Fair point, I've also thought about the need to focus on more "critical issues". But I'm happy to see multiple victories along the way
