I am currently studying law, politics, and French at St David’s Catholic College, where I have developed strong analytical abilities and a deep commitment to my studies. Coming from a Nigerian heritage, I draw inspiration from my culture and my family’s values to shape my vision for change. My critical thinking skills and passion for addressing complex issues drive my determination to advocate for meaningful progress.
As the elected class governor in politics, I understand the weight of responsibility that comes with leadership. This role has deepened my desire to represent young voices and motivated me to join the youth parliament as a catalyst for positive change.
I believe in the power of youth to shape the future and will prioritise outreach to schools, raising awareness of civic responsibilities, and the importance of participation. By inspiring my peers to get involved I hope to drive impactful solutions to the challenges we face.
My candidacy for the youth parliament is fuelled by a commitment to serve as an advocate for the youth, champion their voices, and work towards a society where their aspirations are heard and acted upon.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n astudio'r gyfraith, gwleidyddiaeth a Ffrangeg yng Ngholeg Catholig Dewi Sant, lle rwyf wedi datblygu galluoedd dadansoddol cryf ac ymrwymiad dwfn i'm hastudiaethau. Yn dod o dreftadaeth Nigeria, rwy'n tynnu ysbrydoliaeth o fy niwylliant a gwerthoedd fy nheulu i lunio fy ngweledigaeth ar gyfer newid. Mae fy sgiliau meddwl beirniadol a'm hangerdd am fynd i'r afael â materion cymhleth yn gyrru fy mhenderfyniad i eirioli dros gynnydd ystyrlon.
Fel llywodraethwr dosbarth etholedig mewn gwleidyddiaeth, rwy'n deall pwysau'r cyfrifoldeb sy'n dod gydag arweinyddiaeth. Mae'r rôl hon wedi dyfnhau fy awydd i gynrychioli lleisiau ifanc a'm cymell i ymuno â'r senedd ieuenctid fel catalydd ar gyfer newid cadarnhaol.
Credaf yng ngrym ieuenctid i lunio'r dyfodol a byddaf yn blaenoriaethu allgymorth i ysgolion, codi ymwybyddiaeth o gyfrifoldebau dinesig, a phwysigrwydd cyfranogiad. Drwy ysbrydoli fy nghyfoedion i gymryd rhan, rwy'n gobeithio gyrru atebion effeithiol i'r heriau sy'n ein hwynebu.
Mae fy ymgeisyddiaeth dros y senedd ieuenctid yn cael ei danio gan ymrwymiad i wasanaethu fel eiriolwr dros yr ieuenctid, hyrwyddo eu lleisiau, a gweithio tuag at gymdeithas lle mae eu dyheadau yn cael eu clywed ac yn gweithredu arnynt.
