In his remarks to the Ijebu North Youths on the Easter Youth Program his foundation is organizing, he commended the youths for their disposition towards mutual understanding and community peaceful coexistence, emphasizing that they should continue to embrace peace in its totality and eschew vices and acts that can lead to community clash and violence especially as the 2023 general elections is fast approach. The philanthropist admonished that youths should continue to live in peace, by being serious with their education and businesses for those not in schools and be law-abiding citizens who genuinely respect constituted authority.
“As youths, we need to promote community peace, mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence because when there is trouble in the land we cannot live in peace, development cannot take place and there can never be an election that is free, fair, and credible. Another responsibility of a citizen is to cast his or her vote. The law does not force or require citizens to vote, but voting is a very important part of any democratic setting. By voting, citizens are participating in the democratic process of their nation.”
“Citizens vote for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and the leaders support the citizens’ interests. Let us be aware that election is not war but a time for us to participate by voting wisely for the candidate that can help secure our future” Adelaja noted.
To enhance the National Identification Number easily as many community members have not registered till now, there will be free NIN registration at the Easter youth program for those that have not yet registered and that will commence by 8.00 am till the end of the program.
