Ahead of the 2027 general election, youths of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have enjoined every young Nigerian to join the opposition coalition to take their destinies into their hands.
The youths under the name, African Democratic Youth Congress (ADYC) made the call at a press conference in Abuja yesterday when they said Nigerian youths were no longer contented to be followers, but have chosen to be part of the process and to play major roles in leadership with conscience.
Speaking, the ADYC director-general, Murtala Dantoro, said vote buying is not merely a transaction but a betrayal of collective future of Nigeria.
“Despite the difficulties we are facing, we have to rise and be part of our country’s electoral system. Let’s join the Coalition party ADC, let’s vote right. Let’s articulate strategies together to expand the political space for active participation.
“We must understand that vote buying is not merely a transaction; it is a betrayal of our collective future. It is the tool that gives power to the wrong people – individuals who prioritize personal gain over public service, and who will inevitably fail to bring the desperately needed development to our communities. They buy their way in, and they will only serve themselves.
“Therefore, I call upon every young person here, and indeed every youth across Nigeria, to make it your sacred and mandatory exercise to educate and give orientation to our grassroots communities on the grave danger of vote buying.
“Go into every village, every street, every home, and enlighten our people about the power of their vote and the destructive consequences of selling it,”he stated.
