If the total number of registered voters in Nigeria has the young people having over 62 to 65 percent of the population, they should use their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/02\/17-per-cent-of-ogun-population-engage-in-drug-abuse-ndlea-boss-marwa\/\">population<\/a> and numerical strength maximally in order to effect change,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cDuring the 2019 elections, when we were doing campus outreach, we went to the campus of one of the universities and I made a determination that considering the number of polling units in the campus, if the students came together and sponsored a candidate and vote for the candidate, the candidate is going to get 70 percent of the votes because over 70 percent of the polling units in relation to one particular state constituency was located on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cSo, the issue is realising the power in organisation \u2014 people taking their destiny into their hands and organising ideologically \u2014 because you cannot organise in a vacuum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cSo, it\u2019s either young people go into the existing political parties and change the narrative or they can also package their own political party, nurture it, and then upgrade it as a political party that has the capacity to be in political power. I think the ball is in the court of the youths.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Speaking further, the commissioner said INEC will do \u201cwhatever it takes to make sure youths have an inclusive voice in the electoral process\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWe\u2019ll continue to broaden the frontiers of the electoral process using technology to make sure no segment of our population is left behind in terms of political participation,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commissioner for information and voter education of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Festus Okoye has revealed how youths can change the political narrative of the country.
