He called on the nation’s leaders to recognize this and to ensure that the development strategies and policies implemented today are geared towards securing a better tomorrow for the younger generation.

Obi’s message also carried a note of encouragement for Nigerian youths, urging them to maintain their hope and commitment to national development despite the challenges the country is currently facing.

“These are very challenging times in our nation, but we must find the strength to keep pushing,” he said, acknowledging the difficult circumstances but emphasizing the need for resilience and perseverance.

The former governor of Anambra State reiterated the idea that building a “New Nigeria” is a collective responsibility, one that requires the active participation and dedication of all citizens, especially the youth.

He emphasized that through perseverance and unwavering commitment, the dream of a transformed and progressive Nigeria is not only achievable but “even more POssible”— a play on words that reflects his optimism and belief in the potential of Nigeria’s young population.

In closing, Peter Obi extended his best wishes to all Nigerian youths, recognizing their pivotal role in the nation’s future. “Happy International Youth’s Day to all Nigerian Youths,” he concluded, expressing his solidarity with the younger generation and his continued support for their endeavours.
