Nigerian Youths under the body
of Ogun Youth Alliance (OYA) have said that it is time for the Yoyths to take
over government comes 2019, hence, they can no more tolerate old men in the
Nigeria politics, says they have failed the people of the country.
The President of the OYA
who is the parental body of many alliance platform, Comrade Sodeinde Daniel
made this known during the Democracy Awareness Rally to sensitize Nigeria
citizens, most especially the Youths to go out and get their voters’ card so as
to participate in the coming general election to mark the 2018 democracy day.
Comrade Sodeinde said the
main purpose of the Ogun Youth Alliance is to bring together all the
socio-political youth organization in Nigeria, especially in Ogun state in mobilizing
the youth to participate fully in governance (politics) as from 2019.
He further stated that “As
we can see, since 1960, it has been the same set of old men that has been
ruling us in Nigeria. They have tried their best, we know they fought for
democracy and we appreciate them, and we say now is the time for them to hand
over to we the youths.
“Ogun Youth Alliance is
not a political party, we are a movement and we may end up in a political party
that suite the youths. That is; not just a political party, but a political
party that is youth oriented and youth can vouch for. We can see that the
terrain of many of the present political parties in this country cannot solve
Nigeria problems.
The theme of the 2018 Democracy
Rally is Strengthening Nigeria Democracy
through the Ballot., that is: voting through the ballot.
When delivering his
message to the people, Comrade Daniel said “My message is that every good citizen
should go out to get their PVC and wait for the directives from the youth. We are
going to civilize our people and roll out our best candidate in each state to
vie for every political post, and we shall move the masses to vote them in. I am
begging the youths to come out in masses and support us.” He submitted.
In his own speech, the
Ambassador for Youth in Politics, Comrade Oyalowo Ayodeji said the people of
the country have tried so far in accommodating the unfriendly leaders who only
knows about themselves and not the good people that voted them in.
He said 2019 is the time
for the Youth to take the number one post of the country, because he believes
so much in the youths.
On his own part about the
PMB administration so far, he said though President Muhammadu Buhari have tried
his possible best, but yet, he had failed so far in terms of security and
putting food to the table of every common man.
He also urged Nigerians to
go out massively to get the Permanent Voter Card and also participate in
politics comes 2019 so as to vote out the leaders who have been ruling the
country since the day of Nigeria’s democracy.
Also, Comrade Moshood Muhammed,
the convener for Patroitic Allaince for National Development (PAND), an NGO, when
speaking with our reporter said there may be revolution in Nigeria, possibly if
the youths did not find their way to the top comes 2019.
“We encourage patriotism among
Nigerians, this is necessary because we cannot build a country without the
involvement of the people, particularly the youths who have the larger
population in the country.
“Nobody in the government today
really want the youth to govern because of what they are eating, they are not
ready to step aside for the youths. They know youth in politics is what is
trending today and they want to be part of the news, that is why they are say
supporting the youth with mouth.
“The bible said the
kingdom of God suffereth violent and the violent taketh it by force. We must
make sure the youths are ready however to do better when they are in power, and
there must be differences between the youths and those who have been there
before. …I want to believe there will be a revolution if the youths are not
given chances.”
