Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has urged the Nigerian youth to quit agonising but take advantage of their numerical strength and voting power to determine who leads at different levels of government in the country.
Speaking in Lagos on Saturday at the 2021 edition of The Platform, an annual event hosted by Pastor Poju Oyemade of the Covenant Christian Centre, Fayemi disclosed that the youth constitute about 70 per cent of the country’s population and, therefore, needed not to agonise but rather organise, join the political process from the ward level up to the national level, and effect the needed change. This, he said was more strategic than seeking a regime change through the back door or giving up in frustration and cursing elected representatives on social media platforms.
