The Ibadan Prime Youths Forum (IPYF) on Friday admonish the Youths of the country to hold their leaders and politicians responsible and accountable for the deplorable State of things in the Country, IPYF made the call through their National Coordinator, Dr. Oluwatunmise Adeagbo in his Independence day speech.
“Nigerian youths must start to ask questions from their political leaders and political office holders. Questions pertaining to the state development and their stewardship of duties, also issues around the implementation of their campaign promises”
“It’s important for Nigerian youths, to as a matter of urgency, during electioneering period engage politicians on how best they intend to achieve their campaign promises, as this will help know those who are ready for governance and whether these potential political office holders really understand what leadership and governance entails”
The Forum registered its displeasure towards the State of the Country’s Economy and describes it has a result of a failed leadership and governance majorly from the ‘so called’ politician.
However, the CCII Youth leader appreciate the few politicians that are doing the right things. ‘At this juncture, we applaud some of our leaders that are performing very well. Though, they are few, but some of them knows their onions’
The IPYF National Coordinator further encourage the youth to work very hard to make Nigeria work. He reiterates that Nigeria has a lot of potentials to rise if worked on.
“This is our homeland, we should not lose hope on Nigeria. It can work based on our collective effort, we must make our leaders account for how they manage our country and sack them if they seems not to perform. We must work hard to make it work. We can sack the irresponsible and the underperformed politicians by voting them out during elections” Dr Adeagbo proclaims.
He further charges youth to be courageous in doing this as he encourages youth to celebrate Nigeria with a view of a better future.
