This call was made in a Democracy Day message by the Oyo State Chairman of the group, Amb. Oyedepo Olatunde Mattahas, a copy which was obtained by our correspondent in Ibadan on Thursday as Nigeria marks its 32nd Anniversary of the annulled 1993 June 12 general election saying, Nigerian politicians needed to inject more youths into the governance, that youths are supposed to be leaders of today not waiting till tomorrow.
Recall that in 2018, the Former President Muhammadu Buhari moved Democracy Day from May 29 to June 12 in honour of one of the Nigerian heroes for democracy, Chief Moshood Kasimawo Olawale Abiola and to remind all Nigerians of one free and fair election after which the presumed winner (M.K.O Abiola) along with Nigerians were denied their rights and their choice.
According to Amb. Oyedepo “Our Dear President His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has for long keyed into the youth advocacy in governance and public offices as countless youths have being inclusive in almost all sectors of governance in this great country.
“And this should be emulated by all in the position of power to put the interest of the youth at the forefront", he said.
Amb Oyedepo further advised the youths that power is not served as foods in a restaurant, hence Nigerian youth must boldly equip themselves with needed skills and peacefully work toward gaining positions of leadership in the country sooner.
