But if I know that my return will depend on my accountability and representation to the people, I will do the right thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important for this generation to open the door of leadership to the next generation. We must allow every Nigerian to participate fully in the process of leadership. I, therefore, stand with direct primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I said at different fora that I\u2019m for direct primaries. We have to do this for the sake of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you gather yourselves (as youths), chances are that you\u2019ll win. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/10\/reps-spokesman-direct-primary-will-strengthen-our-democracy\/\">Democracy<\/a> is a government of the people. Democracy is not just a general election; it starts from the primaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gbajabiamila also asked youths to be active in politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll ask that you carry that advocacy out there because it\u2019s for you. The youths are the greatest asset of any nation, not just in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the Not-Too-Young-to-Run bill became law, you\u2019ve not taken advantage of that. The Act appears to be a paper tiger. The enabling environment to work for that Act isn\u2019t capitalised on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Dare thanked the speaker for supporting youth development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the honourable members and the house for the support they\u2019ve been giving us for the past two years of our stewardship. I want to also thank you for your support for the youth of our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetween 65 percent and 70 percent of our population are less than 25 years. So, we can\u2019t ignore the youth. I want to plead on behalf of the Nigerian youth that you continue to support youth development. You should also expand the frontiers of youth inclusivity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has stated that direct primaries for political parties will create a level playing ground for Nigerians to fully participate in the leadership process.
