The Rt Hon. Speaker took time to take the youths through marathon of incisive and educative lecture, He called on then to be patient in politics and eschew pull-him- down syndrome.
The Speaker charged them to be sincere and straight forward in their political career, explaining that though success of a sincere man may tarry, but will surely come in a manner that will beat the imagination of many.
Using his career as an example, the Speaker said that God has been the source of his political rise as he has always tried to be true to himself and to others.
He further explained that not many people understand the responsibility of a lawmaker, hence they erroneously think that it is the duty of a lawmaker to award contract, offer employment, construct roads, build schools among others.
He however pledged unreserved support to the youths and promised to assist them in any way he can to ensure that APC and Obowo move to an enviable heights.
