Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre (DCC), Sam Adeyemi said youths will demand accountability from the older generation to work for the betterment of the country rather than keep silent.

Adeyemi stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday.

The cleric attributed the determination of youth to access to information.

He said leaders from all sectors must therefore work together to make the country better in the face of issues affecting Nigeria.

Adeyemi said, “The elite class – those of us who belong to this class – need to begin to discuss among ourselves and honestly, we need to act with urgency and I need to plead with those of us in the elite class and I am talking about everyone who has been able to walk their way to the top and fairly comfortable.

“I am talking about people of the highest level in the political class at the National Assembly, the governors, state house assembly and so on. I am talking of those of us in the business sector and those who are heads of religious institutions.

“It will be in our self-interest to get Nigeria to work now because the younger generation is more enlightened and have access to more information and they are not going to keep silent for long. It will get rougher and rougher to lead because they will demand accountability and good leadership,” he said.
