Another time for change is now, youths". Olajengbesi joined the political race in Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency into the House of Assembly in Osun-State believes Youths can change the narrative of the country. He said " I was part of those that started Not too Young to run in Nigeria, I was also the sole initiator of Youth Lead in Nigeria, the youth's have manifold possibilities to liberate Nigeria and put the economy on the global map we are at the threshold of immense opportunity-one as slippery as the sum of dreams, hopes and aspirations that have gone down the sleep decline of neglect and disbelief. So no more. I worry today that many of our youth's do not have flair for politics but some who was given the opportunity, have ameliorated the sad state of this nation" He concluded by urging the youths to be part of rebuilding this country. "A new Nigeria is what we need where hard work and dedication is rewarded.The true wealth of a nation lies solely with the people", he concluded.
