Young People in Nigeria Have Taken Over This Election [video]

This video touched me: young people in Nigeria fighting to get their voting cards. I commend them for this uncommon commitment, and I am hoping that by 2023, they will get a president that will provide leadership. Young People, continue to fight for that future. The future belongs to you and you can take it back. Many of these leaders cannot steal it, even though they paused it, but with energies like this, there will be victory.

I call on INEC to deploy those billions of naira to make this process seamless. They need to ship more registration machines to the east, west, north and south.  Young People have taken over. Do not mess with them.

As that happens, I ask the Police to watch the registration intimidations happening in some cities. Those must be immediately addressed. You cannot prevent people from registering. Young People: this is your nation. Remember: vote for a leader that will save the future, forget the sound of his name, how he prays or those marginals. Focus on competence, decency, honour and service. I have already VOTED for all of you. May God bless the youth of Nigeria.
