Some Netizens speculate that the cancellation may be the result of individuals within the Nigerian government who wish to hinder Peter Obi’s prominence, or that Ghanaian authorities fear empowering their youth to reclaim their rightful place in the nation.
This speculation isn’t baseless; corrupt African leaders collaborating with ‘colonial masters’ are aware that an awakened youth populace could bring about significant change.
The student representative’s statement during the protest reinforces the belief that the canceled convention had the potential to amplify African voices.
The representative expressed disappointment at the cancellation, highlighting the event’s significance in providing a platform for African student leaders to hear from international leaders.
The protest serves as evidence that whoever made the decision to cancel the previously approved program is facing resistance. Peter Obi, seen as an influential figure, particularly by African youths, represents a beacon of inspiration for those eager to usher in positive changes on the continent.
The sentiments expressed by the Ghanaian student representative reflect the widespread hunger for dynamic role models to guide the youth in reclaiming Africa’s narrative
