"We have commenced the process of building an army of electorates as group by encouraging and enlightening every eligible voter to get their permanent voters card as it is sacrosanct in ensuring there is a ballot revolution come 2023 and beyond, we have assisted over 2,000 eligible Voters to get registered in the ongoing INEC continuous voters registration and we have set a target of 10,000,000 eligible voters with voters card by 2023 across the 36 states of the federation, including the FCT.

As a group, we strongly believe in negotiating from a position of strength, hence we are of the opinion that if we are visible and active in the selection process of our leaders, we will be able to achieve over 40percent of youth participation and involvement in subsequent government.

"In a society where technocrats and Democrats shy away from leadership positions, charlatans and microscopic elements will occupy its political space. You don't need to be a politician to cast your vote and be part of the selection process of our leaders, it is your civic responsibility, your vote is your voice, so please let us speak out and be heard."
