Hon. Odunze Kingsley Speaks to Mbaitoli Youths in Abuja on Bad Political Mindset

 

Hon. Odunze Kingsley has called on Nigerian youths, especially Mbaitoli youths living in Abuja, to reject the dangerous mindset that sees politics as a way to steal public money instead of serving the people.

During an interactive session with the youths, Hon. Odunze Kingsley spoke openly about the problems affecting leadership in Nigeria. According to him, many people seeking political positions today are not interested in helping the people. Their main goal is to enter office, enrich themselves, and forget the citizens who voted for them.

He said this wrong mindset has damaged the country for many years and has made elections filled with violence, intimidation, and corruption.

'Many people contesting for office today believe leadership is all about personal gain. That is why some of them are willing to do anything just to win elections. They intimidate people, rig elections, spread lies, and even destroy lives because they see power as an opportunity to loot public resources instead of serving the people,' he said.

Hon. Odunze Kingsley also expressed disappointment that some political advisers and spokespersons encourage this unhealthy system by defending bad leadership and misleading the public.

While speaking to the youths, he encouraged them not to lose hope in Nigeria. He reminded them that young people have a major role to play in changing the country for the better.

'The future belongs to us. We cannot continue to complain and remain silent at the same time. We must rise and use our voices for good leadership, accountability, and positive change,' he stated.

He further urged the youths to make good use of social media and other peaceful platforms to educate people, promote unity, and speak against bad governance.

'Use every available platform, social media, community meetings, conversations with friends, and every peaceful opportunity, to speak for truth and justice. Change begins when people refuse to stay silent,' he added.

According to him, the elites may appear powerful, but the youths remain the majority and can make a great difference if they stand together with one voice.

He ended the interaction by encouraging the youths to think about the future generation and the kind of Nigeria they want to leave behind.

'One day, history will ask all of us where we stood when things were going wrong in our country. Let us stand for truth, courage, unity, and positive change. Let us build a Nigeria our children and the unborn generation will be proud of.'
