Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, Lagos State Deputy Governor and APC governorship candidate, urged Nigerian youths to prioritize faith, integrity, discipline, and responsibility in pursuit of success. The call came at the 2026 Youth Programme of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries in Lagos. Hamzat emphasized that genuine faith should shape the choices, attitudes, work ethic, and conduct of young people, even in the absence of external observation.
He urged them to view their personal achievements as a means of uplifting their communities and contributing to national development. Hamzat warned that these advantages could become liabilities if they weren't backed by strong character. The deputy governor also highlighted the need for youths to be proactive agents of positive change rather than passive observers.
He encouraged them to tackle Nigeria's challenges with truth, peace, compassion, and integrity. Hamzat acknowledged the importance of talent, education, and ambition in achieving success, but cautioned against compromising values in the pursuit of wealth, popularity, or social status. He emphasized that while government could create opportunities, it couldn't create character, urging youths to take responsibility for their moral development.
The deputy governor also called for responsible participation in Nigeria's democratic process, urging youths to engage critically with political issues, reject political violence, and make informed voting choices.
