APC Youth Leader Calls for Youth Empowerment in Ekiti

Ahead of the second-term inauguration of Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji, Adesuyi Daramola, the APC South-West Youth Leader, called for greater youth empowerment in political appointments. In a statement issued through his Director of Media and Publicity, Remilekun Oyelowo, Daramola highlighted the recent dissolution of boards, commissions, and parastatals in the state and the termination of political appointees' appointments.

He stated that this transition period presents an opportunity to enhance youth inclusion in governance by allowing qualified young Ekiti indigenes to serve. Daramola argued that increasing the representation of competent young people would foster a sense of belonging and trust in the administration.

He appealed to Governor Oyebanji to consider the youth as he forms his next team of political appointees, noting that many young individuals are already capable contributors to governance. Daramola also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing political appointees and encouraged young people to continue developing their skills for future opportunities in governance.
