And let the will of the people prevail.
THREE THINGS I ASK OF YOU
But my young friends, there is something government cannot do for you. Nobody can hand political power to a generation that is unwilling to organise for it.
So when you leave this summit, I want you to remember three words:
REGISTER. ORGANISE. LEAD.
Register, because millions of Nigerians have become cynical about politics and elections. Some believe their votes will not matter. Your assignment is to persuade them that surrendering their vote guarantees that somebody else will decide their future.
Go into your campuses, communities, markets and workplaces. Use the digital spaces where your generation already lives. Encourage eligible Nigerians to register and encourage those who are registered to participate.
But registration without organisation will achieve little.
Anger is not an organisation. A hashtag is not an organisation. Complaining on social media is not an organisation.
