Ememobong gave the charge while speaking at the Oro Youth Summit 2020 on Friday.

Speaking on line with the theme of the summit “Identifying the Missing Link”, Ememobong said the “youths have to defocus on what is minor and focus on what is important. In his description, what is important is changing the confrontational tone of engagement for demands to a dialogic collaboration with Older generation leaders.

“The essence of proper posturing and positioning the Commissioner reiterated is to enhance Strategic taking over of power and selection of leaders into political positions. According to The Info Boss: “power has never been taken by accidental discharge but by Strategy.”
