President and founder of ANAP Foundation, Atedo Peterside has asked Nigerian youths to participate in political activities to move the country forward, IgbereTV reports.
Speaking during an interview which aired on Monday, Peterside said the young people should develop an interest in the nationâs affairs and be involved in the voting process.
According to him, a situation whereby the young people do not show interest in elections would mean them selling their birthrights to politicians.
âMany more people have to get involved in that activity. A large volume of educated youths deciding to opt out, saying I have no more interest, I wonât vote and register. When you do that, you have surrendered your birthrights to the politicians who get elected,â he said.
