Oyintiloye made the submission in Osogbo, Osun State capital, following the victory of the first and only African to emerge world’s best footballer, George Opong Weah, in the just-concluded presidential election in Liberia.

He said, “the virtues of dream, determination and persistence have been identified as ingredients to success.”

The Parliamentarian, who urged Nigerians, especially youths not to give up on the country and on their dreams noted that tenacity of character with high sense of purpose had always worked for dreamers.

Oyintiloye said that youths should learn from “George Weah’s never-give-up and can do spirit despite the fact he had suffered major defeats in his bid to lead the country in the past.”
