First executive governor of Lagos State, Lateef Kayode Jakande, has challenged Nigerian youths to be actively involved in politics.
Jakande made this call on the occasion of the official visit of a group of Nigerian youths under the aegis of ‘Buhari Oshibajo South West Support Group’ to him in his Ilupeju residence, Lagos.
“Nigerian youths have come of age and they have a duty to be involved actively in politics because the future belongs to them. I sincerely look up to Nigerian youths to be politically active and I am prepared to support them in whatever way they may need me,” Jakande said.
He also expressed his support to the Buhari/Oshinbajo administration in its fight against corruption.
‘’I must commend this administration on its effort so far in fighting and checkmating corruption. I do not support corruption in office. It is condemnable, unjust and totally evil.
“Every government at all levels and Nigerians, especially the youths, should join in the fight against corruption. Any government that fights corruption will always have my support,” Jakande said.
He said the Federal Government has an ‘inescapable duty to fight corruption so as to continue to earn the respect of all Nigerians. Let us be united in our fight against corruption and let the people be served to the best of our ability. Every Nigerian deserves to be served and we must make Nigeria a country where love and service prevail. As for me, I will always support this administration and it will always have my support in waging war against corruption’.
Leader of the visiting Buhari Oshinbajo South West Support Group (BOSWSG), Temilade Okesanjo, said that the Buhari-led administration has done well in the last four years.
‘’We realise that tremendous work has been done by this administration with many of its programmes aimed at redefining the future of Nigeria youths.
Okesanjo described as laudable and commendable Buhari administration’s National Social Investment Programmes, N-Power schemes, ICT development projects.
