According to Bamidele, "what we have witnessed in Osun is a reflection of what the Nigerian people desire, free and fair election. They want their voices to be heard through their votes at the ballot, which is a way of rewarding competence and rejecting incompetence".
'He added that “credible and inclusive elections are fundamental to Nigeria’s democratic growth, I commend the good people of Osun for standing firm with PDP and Adeleke, who will now be taking the state to the next height".
The group further encouraged INEC and all stakeholders to continue improving the electoral system and to ensure meaningful participation of young people in the democratic process as we approach the 2023 general election.
