“Over the years, a lot of young people have been ignored, victimised, maimed for daring to have a dream.
“I use this opportunity to call out all well-meaning residents of Lagos, especially the youths. It is indeed time to use our numerical strength to our full advantage. It is time to take our rightful place in matters that concern our lives and our future.
“It is time to rally ourselves and support our own,” she wrote.
