Ogundele affirmed, “For robust national development, youths must be carried along in governance, and the dividends of democracy must be felt at the grassroots.
“Youths must take more than a passing interest in politics. We must deepen our democratic process by scaling up our committed participation.
“As the 2027 election activities gather momentum, we must prioritise peaceful engagement and distance ourselves from thuggery and any form of political violence that can derail our collective progress.”
He called on young people to take up leadership roles and contribute meaningfully to nation-building through constructive engagement and peaceful political participation.
In his remarks, the Ogun West Coordinator of the group, Ayodeji Idowu, called on youths to unite and play active roles in strengthening democratic institutions.
“Young people must see themselves as agents of change and development. The future of our communities depends on our willingness to promote peace, inclusiveness, and responsible leadership,” he mentioned.
Also speaking, the group’s Secretary in Imeko-Afon Local Government, Hon. Nafiu Abibola, and the South-West President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Comrade Kehinde Olurunjubelo, enjoined youths to embrace their responsibilities as nation-builders and shun all forms of political thuggery and manipulation.
The stakeholders praised the founder of the movement, Seyi Tinubu, for initiating the platform, describing it as a step towards youth mobilisation and political enlightenment.
