He called on all youth to ensure they come out and register and have their voter cards to guarantee them to exercise their fundamental right of electing the right candidates that would pilot the affairs of the country in the right direction.

He stressed that the only work for the youth is to walk towards the realization of the dreams Youth O’clock, stressing that come 2023, the youths in the country would cast their votes irrespective of bias of religion, tribe, or section but to ensure the right candidates emerge victoriously.

He said that time has come when Nigerian youths will begin to think about what is proper and do what is proper to take the country to its proper place in the comity of nations.

He explained also that it is time for the youth to critically take control of the leadership of the country Nigeria in all realms and change the narrative of the country towards ensuring that the best candidates are elected into governance come 2023.
