Tunde Eso (born 16 August 1977) is a Nigerian politician and journalist. He is a 2018 PDP aspirant for Governor of Osun State. Eso is the author of the books African Security Solution and Vision for Africa.
Eso was born and raised in Ilesha, Osun State, to the family of Pa Obafemi and Iyabode Eso (née Fanibe) on 16 August 1977. He studied accountancy for his National Diploma certificate at Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke, in 2005. He obtained his first degree in Political Science at University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, and studied International Relations for his Msc there in 2014.
In an interview with the Nigerian Guardian newspaper, Eso said the old generation of politicians will continue to sideline Nigerian youth until the youths realize that they constitute the largest number of voters. He opined that the numerical strength of the youths is enough to pick and elect one of the young Nigerians with pragmatic programmes. In Eso's opinion, Nigerian youths have been neglected by past administrations. He also believes that it is time to build leaders with the right thoughts and actions, leaders who will not fight for their pockets only, leaders who will think of others and not themselves alone. In his opinion, the integration of young people in politics is needed to solve Nigeria's insecurity problems. He coined a new system of government called Youthocracy which is defined as government of the people, by the youth and for the people. Youthocracy was unveiled in his book, Vision for Africa, and it advocates a leadership shift.
