Sa’karuyi of Karu FCT Abuja, His Royal Highness (HRH), Dr Emmanuel Yepuwi (JP) has reawakened the consciousness of Nigerian youths to their chances of reclaiming the lost glory of Nigeria in the 2023 general elections.
Yepuwi made this call yesterday when the who candidates Paul Smith Obasi and Bar Juliet Isi Ikhayere who are both contesting for the FCT Senate and House of reps representing AMAC and Buwari area councils respectively under the platform African Democratic Congress (ADC) paid the traditional ruler a courtesy visit at his palace in Abuja.
According to him, the we do not play politics but we bless those that plays politics and I’m advising you that those you meet as you are going do not forget them because you will still meet the when you are coming back. Many times people fail when people support them they do not carry them along.
“Again they made a lot of promises but when they go there they do not fulfill those promises they make. But you will be supported as young man buy if you go there you also belong to the old men.
“Can you compare Peter Obi age with Tinubu and Tinubu may get money more than him but Tinubu is an old man already. So they should give young people chance. They also started as young people but they still want to continue in old age, why? They should give young people chance and let see what they will perform. Let us advise them to where they are lacking so that they can perform better.
“The issue is that I’m a Royal father in FCT and all the bra bra that are happening I’m also part of it but I’m not supporting it. You know there is a problem, we are seventeen village chiefs in FCT and it is only two of us that are christians and you can see how it is and I’m the most senior. So it is not easy,” he said.
On his part A young FCT senatorial candidate under the ADC Paul Smith Obasi said that, parliamentary have failed in this country, they have have water down by the executive arm of government and the simple work of the parliaments is to enact laws and policies that would advance this country economically and otherwise but those at the parliament o not do all these things.
It is also the duty of the parliaments to speak for the people rather they go to there to speak for themselves and that should not be so. So that only people that have the capacity to do that are the young people.
He said, “We want to drive this country we do not want to be passengers anymore, we don’t want to sit at the back, we want to take the country back into our hands, we do not want to sit at the back sit anymore, we want to be drivers of our future back. We want to enact laws that will fight for us, laws that include our future.”
He advised youths to go and get their PVC as it is the only means to achieve this aim.
Bar Juliet Isi Ikhayere who is also contesting House of reps for AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency under the ADC platform, Barr Juliet Isi Ikhayere said that the essence of them stepping into this movement is to ensure that development, character and vision is being sustain. So we the young people need to step up.
She said, people are tired and they want something different and that it is why we put ourselves forward. Adding that her vision for coming up is to see legislation that will serve as a voice for Nigerians.
