A human rights activist and presidential aspirant, Omoyele Sowore, has advised youths to take an active part in the coming 2019 general elections towards making sure that the leader they desire is voted in.
Sowore’ advice is contained in a statement issued by his media consultant, Cute Image Communications, on Wednesday.
In the statement, signed on behalf the communication outfit by Paul Ojenagbon, Sowore was quoted as saying that young eligible voters constitute 75 million of the country’s population and could decide the outcome of the 2019 presidential election.
“The young people of this country, about 75 million of us, if they decide and unite that they want one candidate, this election is over. If we keep the momentum, the transition programme may be shorter than we think,” he said.
He urged the youths to come up with strategies for key leadership roles in the country, arguing that the government of young people would deal with power supply and other key infrastructural issues.
“The country will bubble with growth. Nigerians are initiative people but our past leaders for too long have been investing in darkness,” Sowore said.
