The endorsement, coming at a critical moment ahead of the NYCN Congress, is seen as a major boost to Comrade Onimisi’s candidacy. His emergence is widely viewed as a chance to reposition the Council for greater relevance, unity, and impact among Nigerian youths.

Governor Ododo, while expressing his support, described Comrade Onimisi as a bridge-builder and a resilient youth leader whose track record in grassroots mobilization and advocacy stands him out for the role. He noted that the state remains proud to present a candidate of such caliber, urging delegates to rally behind his vision for the Nigerian youth constituency.
