The socio-cultural Yoruba Youths group under the Yoruba Council of Youths Worldwide YCYW Oyo State Council tagged “Omoluabi Group” has vowed not to vote for political structures or parties, stressing that the current political class have failed the country.
The association made this known in a press release signed by it’s General Secretary, Omoluabi Abdurahman Ajani and made available to newsmen at the end of an extensive meeting in their office Ibadan, Oyo State, they disclosed that they would vote for individual with a people oriented leadership, equity and justice, who will give Nigerians back our country.
“The Yoruba youth leaders in Southwest are determined now more than ever before to vote out unproductive, wicked and evil politicians who have held the country to the jugular, and force our political office holders to account for their stewardship while in office.
In his word, Asoju Odo (Omoluabi) Alawode Rahmon Akintunde says “We call for a new spirit of leadership. We will not vote parties and structures in this coming general elections, they have failed us, we will vote individuals with a people oriented leadership, equity and justice, who will give us back our Nigeria,”.
They also called on Nigerian Youths to rise and defend their vote against any form of rigging and should say no to vote buying and any form of thuggery.
They sued for the restoration of genuine peace in the electoral process in the country, especially, Southwest, so that people do not live in fear.
The association while frowning at misrule in the country equally condemned lack of interest in the Education system that University education is at present suffering outright neglect by the Federal Government and therefore called on Nigerians to make use of their PVC to vote out bad government.
The association therefore called for the “restoration of genuine peace and normalcy in South West Nigeria that is based on justice, equity, fairness, love, mutual understanding respect; and to check the deteriorating security situation in the zone, address mass unemployment which undoubtedly contribute to increase in insecurity, need for free, fair credible and transparent elections in 2023.
“It also points to the fact that the zone has been infiltrated by terrorist elements. Insecurity situation is gradually crippling businesses in the South East region and if we keep quiet we will be over run by criminal violence,” they lament.
They condemned the sorry state of education in Nigeria saying that, “educational system is decaying on a daily basis. Lecturers and other university workers are paid peanuts and even the peanut is rarely paid. Stupendous looting of public treasury and demonic acquisition of wealth meant for public good by those at the corridors of power, has become the bane.
“Our finest of brains are migrating to other nations in search of better working environment. Those who do not have the privilege of migrating abroad are roaming the streets or underemployed. Our political leaders have their children studying in big and beautiful universities abroad, while at home the common man has no facilities to study.
“Our health institution is dying with no equipment to meet up ordinary health issues of the common man, while our political class embarks on luxurious health pilgrimages abroad,” he said.
