WE ARE NO LONGER THUGS!
…As Governor UGWUANYI Fullfills his Youth O’CLOCK Blueprint
BELOVED Enugu youth, we are no longer thugs as in the past. Governor UGWUANYI is not interested in thuggery. It’s time to show capacity, character and competence. If you are not interested in the above gburuism qualities, please forget about succeeding in this gburuism political era. It’s an assignment every Enugu youth must prepare to write. WE ARE NO LONGER THUGS! We are now leaders, entrepreneurs and nation builders. 2023 is for sound minds!
Let us now start talking about this Youth O’CLOCK era that Governor Ifeanyi UGWUANYI has begun to unveil in Enugu State. It is called the Enugu Youth Mandate. The blueprint that would produce historic outcomes that would vividly explain cum demonstrate sound youth participation in governance, youth development and empowerment as we are now through with protests and thugery.
That was why our youth did not allow hoodlums hijack our just concluded protests against police brutality and bad governance. Just as President Buhari pinpointed in his speech during the protests, it’s time for our youth to constructively engage our leaders and stakeholders on the need for a New NIGERIA.
This blueprint has begun in Enugu State.
No Government in the past has beautifully engaged the youth in political participation as the present Enugu State Governor has demonstrated in the last 6years. The youths are now Stakeholders too. Governor Ugwuanyi is the best temperament to engage to fullfill this leadership blueprint that would wonderfully produce youthful Governor, Senators, House of Reps members, commissioners, Chairmen of boards etc in 2023.
I plead with our youth to now show we are prepared for leadership. Let us now engage our leaders to hand over power to the youth in 2023. But we must show character and competence. Our leaders will not handover power to thugs and those who destroy our remaining insfrastructures. Let us now engage our leaders on job creation, mentoring and political participation.
Governor Ugwuanyi is busy building his own structure that is highly about the Enugu Youth Mandate. The LG system is taken already by the Youth O’CLOCK mandate. Do you see what I see? Which other state in Nigeria have we seen over 80% of LGA Chairmen as youth except in Enugu State? That demonstrated blueprint was enough signal from Governor UGWUANYI that it’s now YOUTH O’CLOCK in Enugu State. Are the youth ready or still deceived by those politicians who want to remain in power forever so your own political destiny does not fullfill in your own youthful age.
My advice to those politicians who want to REMAIN in power forever is to join Governor UGWUANYI to fullfill his Youth Mandate with young people in Enugu. The President admitted that those in power have heard the protest language very clear and loud.
Governor Ugwuanyi is raising the next generation of leaders that would lead Enugu State, so we have no reason to engage in violent protests as youth leaders and entrepreneurs who are preparing to take over leadership in Enugu State.
I also advise young people to now engage in personal development, skill acquisition and leadership capacity for financial freedom and competence, as politics has alot to do with cashflow. The wealth of the world is now massively embedded in new technologies like engineering, blockchain, agrobusiness, modern media, Social Entrepreneurship, ICT, Forex trading, alternative energy etc. The pocket economy of our youth will contribute stupendously as we prepare to take over leadership and build the Nigeria of our dream. For instance, Nsukka youth economy has contributed massively to the lives of rural people in the past one year more than anyone has done in the last 20years. We are no longer thugs!
They have heard us loud and clear, so no need to keep fighting. It’s time for constructive engagements that will focus on youth development and empowerment for the Nigerian youth. We will now continually engage Governor Ifeanyichukwu Ugwuanyi and other leaders in Nigeria to achieve this Youth Mandate. This gburuism Governor has shown his commitment to this Youth O’CLOCK that we seek as the youth of Enugu State. We are no more too young to LEAD!
