Chairman, Media and Publicity Committee for the Membership Registration and Revalidation Exercise of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Kehinde Olaosebikan, has said the ongoing exercise offers a unique opportunity for the Nigerian youths to achieve all the positive things they set to achieve with the #EndSARS protests if they are prepared to end the passivity of quality youths in active politics.

He also said all the youths need do is to register for the party in good numbers at their various polling units and form the majority from the grassroots, where the lines of leadership and control begin.

Olaosebikan while speaking on a radio program in Ibadan, the state capital, told the youth that once they form the majority at the polling units and subsequently at the wards, they are in good stead to take control of the party and get well involved in forming the government at different levels.

According to him,  in majority the youths, including those that gathered in front of the radio station in appreciation of his support for the youths on air, that achieving the lofty idea of decent living, functional and youth friendly police, gainful employment for all and good governance, would become easy as they would choose only those people with sufficient capacity, competence and care to lead the party from the ward to the national level.

Olaosebikan joined on the program by members of the committee that include  Gafar Ojetola, Wasiu Sadare and Ademola Solalu, urged the youth to take full advantage of the opening provided by the well timed registration exercise taking place in more than two years before the next general elections to use the exercise in positioning themselves for leadership and greatness.

He said the political situation in the country could be likened to what transpired in the 50s and 60s when the youths took the advantage of education to take over the leadership of the country from the elderly stating that the present youth should use the digital knowledge which they were born into positively against the analogue system of the old to propagate themselves constructively along witht their numerical strength.

He then urged youths in the 351 wards of Oyo State to mobilize themselves fruitfully and register for the APC.

As already assured by the Chairman of the Membership Revalidation and Registration Committee for Oyo State, Abubakar Bawa Bwari, Olaosebikan maintained  that there would not be any discrimination or exclusion of any sort in the state and that the entire process has been made easy and seamless with the adequate trainings of supervisors at all levels.
