Paul Okoye of the P-Square band, aka Rudeboy has said youths across Africa have rediscovered their place and now taking back leadership on the continent.
According to Rudeboy, the recent change of leadership where the opposition leader, Hakainde Hichilema defeated incumbent Edgar Lungu in Zambia’s presidential election; and the just concluded Kenyan election where the Deputy President, William Ruto won Raila Odinga, a veteran opposition leader and a five-time presidential candidate who enjoyed President Uhuru Kenyatta support, were clear indications that the youths have resolved to take their place.
According to the artiste, the wave of this change will definitely shift to another country soon.
The “Reason With Me” singer further wondered the next African country the wave will take place.
He said: “There’s a heavy wave of change in leadership across Africa… young people are taking back their country first.

Nigeria’s election holds in February 2023, and there are calls that that power must shift from older politicians to more acceptable and youth-friendly leaders.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate is currently enjoying massive support from the youths.
But the leading political parties, APC and the PDP, have argued that Obi and his political party have no structure to win a national election. They have argued that he can only win on social media and not in the real sense of it.
