This, he revealled after Confidente asked Nekongo who his preferred candidate for the Swapo Vice Presidential post was but the secretary made it clear this was not an SPYL decision but his as everyone was free to support whoever they feel like supporting.
“Nandi-Ndaitwah is here to give wisdom to the young people and not to be compared with the them.
It is not a secret that l am supporting her but as the Youth League, we did not make any decision regarding our preferred candidate and everyone is supporting whoever they feel like supporting.
“The reason why l am supporting her is because her skills and experience convinced me she is the best person to lead this party and maybe the country, she has a lot to offer as she possesses the wisdom and the experience to lead this country,” he stated.
Regarding the issue of the old versus the young, Nekongo said the veteran Swapo politician was not here to compete with the young people but to provide wisdom.
