Sarkin Mota delivered a strong message at the Arewa Twitter Connect event in Kano, urging young Nigerians to take responsibility for leadership without delay.
He spoke to a packed audience, stressing that the time for preparation is over. According to him, the future many young people talk about has already arrived.
During his address, Sarkin Mota reflected on his personal journey. He explained that he started with little but built his path through persistence and hard work.
Over time, he created opportunities not just for himself but for others as well. Because of this, he encouraged young people to believe in steady growth and discipline.
He noted that success does not happen overnight. Instead, it comes from consistent effort and the willingness to take action.
“The Time to Lead Is Now”
Sarkin Mota made it clear that leadership should not be postponed. In his view, many young people wait for the “right time,” but that moment may never come.
Therefore, he urged them to step forward now. He said leadership begins with taking responsibility, no matter how small the role may seem.
In addition, he stressed the importance of focus and determination. Without these qualities, he warned, potential can easily go to waste.
The speaker also addressed the growing culture of online debates. While he acknowledged the power of social media, he warned against relying on talk alone.
According to him, real progress happens outside the screen. Ideas must move from discussion to action.
He challenged youths to build structures, create impact, and produce results that people can see and feel in their communities.
Sarkin Mota also spoke about national unity. He said no region can truly develop in isolation.
For this reason, he called for stronger collaboration across ethnic, regional, and cultural lines.
He added that division slows progress, while unity creates opportunities for shared growth.
Furthermore, he encouraged young Nigerians to support one another instead of competing destructively.
He said cooperation and shared purpose are key to building a better future.
By working together, he noted, young people can create lasting change that benefits the entire country.
Responsibility Starts Now
In his closing remarks, Sarkin Mota reminded the audience that responsibility is not something to wait for.
Instead, he said it already lies in their hands.
The message was clear: leadership is not a distant goal—it is a present duty.
