Don’t Take Nigerian Youths For Granted – I Go Dye Writes To INEC Chair
Comedian Francis Agoda, also known as I Go Dye, has written a letter to Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), urging him not to underestimate the Nigerian youth in the upcoming Governorship and States House of Assemblies elections on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
The comedian called for a free and fair election to restore Yakubu’s reputation in light of allegations of irregularities, malpractice, and shortcomings during the last Presidential and House of Representatives elections organized by INEC, which were widely reported by Nigerians.
I Go Dye, who posted the letter on his Instagram page in the early hours of Wednesday warns the INEC boss not to take the silence of Nigerian youths for weakness, saying the Governorship and States House of Assemblies elections are another litmus test for the Commission’s boss to salvage his reputation.
The letter reads: “Dont take Nigerian youths’ silence for weakness this March 11th Saturday elections. This is another litmus test for you, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to salvage your reputation and that of INEC.
“The nation is bereaved with the series of claims and counterclaims of irregularities on the part of INEC in the just concluded presidential elections. This ugly scenario is not good for our democracy and for such an institution that was grossly funded with over 400 Billion Naira for the 2003 presidential election.
“INEC should not be found unprepared to deliver on their responsibilities. I admonish INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to do all within his capacity to step up their standard because Nigerians will not accept any more excuses from him and his Commission as we once again go to the polls in the governorship and House of Assembly elections.
“We demand for free, fair and credible elections. If you know you are not ready for that, please resign. Don’t damage your name more. I urge Nigerians, most especially, the youths not to get discouraged but rather brace up and conquer all forms of negativity and ineptitude even though the institution concerned with the entire process may want to compromise to destroy their interest.
“So, I call on the youths to come out en masse and vote in the candidates of their choice because the process of nation-building starts when we develop a resilient attitude against all unforeseen circumstances.”
Based on his past experiences and recent endeavors, it appears that I Go Dye has transcended mere comedy and has become heavily involved in advocating for good governance in Nigeria. He has previously written letters to influential leaders regarding national matters, earning himself a reputation as a social commentator.
Nigerian music icon Davido has once again highlighted the vital role entertainment plays in shaping Africa’s image on the global stage.
Speaking candidly, the award-winning artist acknowledged the continent’s leadership challenges but praised the entertainment industry for its positive contributions.
“Entertainment is one of the things that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” Davido stated, addressing an issue many Africans are familiar with.
