The youth were also encouraged to be courageous enough to take their rightful positions in leadership by vying for political seats. As this will help drive the social economic development agenda for the continent of Africa. “Don’t believe the story that you’re the leaders of tomorrow. Be the leaders of today,” the DP went on to state.
