Alhaji Idris Abiola-Ajimobi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Assembly Candidate for Ibadan South-West Constituency II, has charged Nigerian youths to participate more in politics and governance.

He asserted on Sunday whilst hosting the finals of the 2nd Late former Gov. Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi Memorial Football Competition.

According to him, the Nigerian youth constituted the productive segment of the nation’s population and should be actively involved in governance.

He said that youths were major stakeholders in nation-building and should not shy away from their societal responsibilities, adding they must exercise their franchise.

“The youths are major stakeholders in nation-building. They constitute the productive segment of the nation’s population. They must participate in politics and governance.

“They should come out en masse on the election day to exercise their franchise. Participation is not about contesting an election, they must perform their civic responsibilities, ” he said.

Abiola-Ajimobi urged them not to engage in vote buying, thuggery or violence, but to ensure free, fair, transparent and credible elections.

Furthermore, he persuaded them to elect the nation’s leaders by voting for competence and according to their conscience.
