NYSC: Fayose to Buhari, Nigerian youths are the best in the world



Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has described Nigerian youths as the best in the world, lamenting that the under privileged among them have had to struggle hard to make it in an environment without viable and equal opportunities.

He was reacting to statements credited to President Mohammadu Buhari saying that many Nigeria youths below age of 30 are lazy and only waiting for cheap and easy way out.

Governor Fayose who told the 2300 corps members deployed to Ekiti during the swearing in ceremony on Monday at Ise-Ekiti orientation camp, that Nigerian leaders believe strongly in them, their industry and strength of character amid daunting socio-economic odds, urged them to keep hope alive as a new, younger and energetic leader would soon emerge to better their lot.

"Without being immodest, I join other Nigerians to condemn the statement that undermines our youth, describing them as lazy, I rather say our youths are the best in the world

"With great determination and lack of opportunities, you have been forging ahead and struggling to make it; we believe in you, that you are the best, the entertainment industry is greatly populated by the youths and you have fetched great fortune for the country. So, it is inappropriate to say you are lazy. We need younger and energetic Nigerian as next President. I assure you of our best hospitality and protection."

Governor Fayose said the need to advise the corps members and identify with them made him to personally grace the occasion. He appealed to the young graduates not to be tools for election rigging in the forthcoming governorship poll in Ekiti

"I will never ask you to do anything that is unbecoming of Nigerian youths, the country looks up to you in the coming elections. Please don't allow any politician, including me to influence you to rig.

"Run away from inducement and politicians that would call your attention to do evil. You will be remembered for whatever you do.

The Lord will keep all of you for me.The youths should not allow themselves to be used for thuggery or to rig elections by the politicians.

If I Ayo Fayose ask you to rig election for me, you should decline. Your parents have spent fortunes on you to be a graduate, you should not disappoint them. Those politicians will never call out their children to die. Don't allow yourselves to be used.

Those of you that are being sworn in today will be around when the governorship election will hold in July, don't allow yourselves to be used.

Your parents expect you to return home alive, hale and hearty, "he said.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor.

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
