Responding, Tidi thanked them for the award saying that the award was one of several awards he had been privileged to have accepted.

“Some of us left our jobs to go into politics. I decided not be the type that will be complaining. This is why I joined politics to make a difference.
“Our youths today must be involved in politics because of they don’t, the policy makers in this country, who consist of older people, will not favour the youths.
“I know that a lot of youths think that their votes don’t count. But let me tell you that their votes does count.
