Political Activist and Skit Maker, Boluwatife Ojo has applauded the youths of Nigeria for organizing a peaceful protest during the famed #EndSARS campaign and lending their voices to be heard nationwide.

The 25-year-old politician said he believes the youths are now seriously considering their future in politics as it will help them be at the helm of affairs in implementing policies that will protect the rights of the younger generation.

Nigerians took to social media on the 3rd of October, to lend their voices against the irregularities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in the country. The youths first convened at Lagos State House of Representatives, Alausa, Ikeja, subsequently, different groups began their campaign in different parts of the country till it became a nationwide protest.

“I see some of our youths planning to invest their time into politics. We are all tired of watching our leaders act ignorant of our plight. The youths need an active government, one that belongs to the ‘Leaders of tomorrow’. My mum told me, if you want something done perfectly, do it yourself,” Boluwatife said.
