Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon Adebo Ogundoyin has appealed to the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the country to give more opportunity to the youth to participate in future political activities across levels.
The Speaker made the appeal in Benin when he led party youths wing on a visit to the National Vice Chairman, South-South Chief Dan Orbih.
Hon Ogundoyin said that PDP must put machineries in place at all levels to enhance youth involvement and participation in politics.
He stated that he was in Benin City to show solidarity, as well solicit the support of the Vice Chairman for the next generation of young business leaders and politicians.
According to the Speaker, the era of excluding the youth from decision making and political processes is virtually coming to an end across the globe.
While commending the wind of political renaissance and resurgence blowing in the PDP across the country, Hon. Ogundoyin stressed that the more the youth are factored into the scheme of things of the party and indeed of the nation, the more they make impact and help to address the problems rocking the nation.
“The vibrancy of the youth makes them indispensable and relevant, as such their inclusion in politics should be encouraged in line with the Nottooyoungtorun policy of the Federal Government.”
Chief Orbih in his comments pledged the commitment of the PDP to the promotion of youth in politics. He commended the Speaker for showing the way to other youths on the need for them to show more interest in politics and governance for better tomorrow.
The PDP National Vice Chairman used the medium to call on the Federal Government not to intimidate or single out the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki for exposing the alleged printing of N60 billion by President Buhari’s administration to augment the March allocation to the three tiers of Government.
