I, Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye, as a stakeholder, felicitate the entire youths of Oyo State and in the country at large on this year’s International Youth Day whose theme is: “Intergenerational solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages.”
It is an avenue for us to come together to celebrate our voices, actions and initiatives. Historically, in 1999, “12th August” was endorsed as the International Youth Day and it is being celebrated, even, up till now.
As the celebration goes on around the world, I charge our youths in the pace setter state to highlight the ways in which we, the youths, have positively affected our local, national, international level as well as how we have enriched national and multilateral institutions. It is also important that we strive harder to occupy our ‘rightful’ positions as leaders of today, and not of tomorrow.
Coming home to our base, I importantly thank the entire youths of Oyo State for their untiring support for the APC governorship candidate in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin.
Therefore, on this day, I charge every youth in the state to continue supporting APC agenda so that, together, we will take the state to high pedestal and enviable heights.
I want to add that the theme for this year’s celebration of our day must be seen from our state’s perspective. I may wish to call it “Cooperation and harmony between the youth and older generations” is necessary to achieve sustainable development goals, as per Agenda 2030 of the United Nations (UN). In our own little way, we can contribute our quota in supporting, praying and defending the nation.
Once again, I congratulate our teeming youths of the Oyo State on this year’s celebration.
Thank you all.
Adeoye, an acclaimed Oyo State Youth Leader Emeritus, writes.
