History
The Nigerian political situation is such that you don't really have to blame it on the elites who have failed the people of Nigeria despite their yearning for a true democratic system where freedom of resources is actually guaranteed.

What do you expect when politics it's self is not centered on one ideology, making most countries of the world especially African Nations with Nigeria on the lead to adopt the most set back philosophy of politics to practice?

Let's assess some of the ideologies of various scholars of political science to acertain where the political atmosphere in Nigeria is geared towards.

Agonism (ref) argues that politics essentially comes down to conflict between conflicting interests. A Political scientist Elmer Schattschneider argued that "at the root of all, politics is the universal language of conflict,"

An Irish author, Michael Laver(ref) Opined thus:

"Politics is about the characteristic blend of conflict and co-operation that can be found so often in human interactions. Pure conflict is war. Pure co-operation is true love. Politics is a mixture of both. This opinion of Laver clearly tells us that man is a complete envisage of agreement and disagreement, arguments, securer of selfish interest and at the same time yearns for equality where he has refused to be equal to all. According to Aristotle, (citation) in a political system everything is to be decided through words, persuasions, dialogue and not through violence. Nigerian politicians knowingly or not has adopted the political philosophy of Agonism with a little mixture of that of Michael Laver, disregarding the fact that politics is supposed to be a quest for power and authority to operate the resources of ones Nation for the benefit of all. That is why a typical Nigerian politician will uphold the practice of corruption, Nepotism, Capitalism, anarchy with all set of abuses on the people they have been sent to represent and they  call it politics.

This evil has been on for years from administration to administration, promising the people a better Nigeria with nothing to show for our democracy. Nigeria as the biggest country in Africa, with much human and natural resources ordinarily is supposed to be on the lead of the African economy but reverse is the case, where we have the highest number of unemployed graduates and youths Making poverty to be the lead of the day in Nigeria and the political class who are supposed to secure the economy and guarantee equal distribution of the resources, tend to have them at their disposals by all means and use them to their whims and calprises making the entire nation and those who elected them to wallow in poverty.

It is high time we do away with mentality of Nigerian politicians and crave for a better Nigeria where there will be equal rights, where employment is guaranteed after graduation, where there will be equal distribution of resources, where the rich and the poor will know no difference and the devidence of democracy will be enjoyed at all levels.

The idea of YOUTH DEMOCRATIC PARTY Came into existence prior to the Nation wide protest tagged #EndSARS carried out by the youths of this great Nation Nigeria, to put an end to the Special Anti Robbery Squard due to their excesses and brutality on Nigerian youths and other citizens.

This is to succeed owing to the fact that, The youth were able to come out in masses with one voice chanting in unity to express their dismays on the excesses of SARS, Leading to it's Immediate disboundment. Alas! If our youthful strengths can disbound SARS, We can equally put an end to corruption in Nigeria.

Following, were the 22 conditions carefully highlighted and served to the government by the youths to make Nigeria a better place, an entity with the practice of true democracy. The government on the contrary has refused drastically to honour this request and that singular act of theirs has exposed their take towards the citizenry.

Thus, the youths who have been long predicted to be the leaders of tomorrow, have taken advantage of that prediction as tomorrow is now!

These elite have for long set Nigerians up against themselves discouraging unity in diversity despite Nigerian Multi Ethnicity. That is why the Youths have come out with a political movement which by the special grace of God shall become a registered political party to partake in the forth coming 2023 elections.

The youth of this Nation have come up with this beautiful idea and it is trite to bind it on all youths to key into it and see to it's success. Our intention is not to embarrass or fight our leaders present and past, because they are Noble men and women of this great Nation and their strengths has made Nigeria an entity to reckon with, we so much respect their dignity.

Our aim is to be part of the multi party System that allows many political parties in Nigeria and to enhance popular participation in politics among the youth and to guarantee their right of franchise by ensuring candidacy and election forms are given out to members at much affordable rate. This motive also has it's legal backing base on the Not too young to rule Law Signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019. (Ref)

YDPN Shall have leaders in all spheres ranging from the National, state and Local government level, a constitution, an official website, Bank Account, Slogan, social media handles e.t.c and all the youth Shall continue to sensitize communities, organizations, Associations, Unions and all manner of persons. We shall be soliciting the support of these persons to ensure our efforts are not in vain and the blood of the innocent who lost their lives during the protest especially victims of the 20th October 2020 Lekki Toll gate massacre, are vindicated.

We call on all Nigerians both home and in the diaspora, to key into this life liberation movement and see it as a one Chance opportunity to save Nigeria from the shackles of slavery, political vices, corruption, poverty, joblessness among the youth, refusal to pay pensioners, backwardness etc. It is our candid appeal to the youth of this Nation who are mostly used to implement the evil that the perpetrators plan to launch on us, to shun all forms of violence, save us the trouble of betrayer and embrace the truth that YDPN Has brought to the Nation.

Any attempt directly or indirectly by way of thuggery, oppression, unwarranted arrest, manipulation or so, to attack this movement may only amount to political apathy amongst the youth. Atonduatondu (talk) 12:54, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
