The Monarch, Oba Ogunwusi has asked youths to have a stand on the next presidential election that would be holding in 2019.“If you are not happy with your president, you go for another election, and you will vote your president out. If you are happy with your president, you will continue with that government for them to be in power”, he said. Ooni of Ife advised the youths of Nigeria that instead of complaining about the poor government handling by the present administration,they should be aware of the power they possess to determine the outcome of elections in Nigeria.“Truth be told, we Nigerians don’t know our power yet. We don’t know our voting power, yet. Until we know it, we won’t stop complaining, especially the youth. Once we know it, we won’t complain again.
“My school of thought is let us, first of all, organise ourselves and let us talk positively about this country. Let us stop derogatory, hate speeches. Things that will continue to divide everybody further.”“Truth be told, the youth don’t know their power yet. Fortunately, power belongs to the youth of Nigeria. Once they can get themselves together, that power belongs to them”.Still speaking to a reporter of THe Sun, he disapproved the spread of negative speeches around the Nation.“So my advice to them is to stop hate speeches. They should stop being not focused. I understand the frustrations, I understand absolutely. I live all my life for the youth –every day of my life, I live it for the youth.“My advice; 2019, they should vote right. Whoever that they think will do Nigeria justice, that will not divide us further, that will unite us further, and make us be a better nation, let us rally round that person,” he added.
