Victor Adaka, the national president of the Pan-Niger Delta Youth Council Association, has urged youths in the area to support political candidates in 2023 who have a history of empowering young people.
Speaking on behalf of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pan-Niger Delta leadership paid Friday Osanebi a courtesy call on Tuesday. Adaka emphasised that the region's youths could no longer be ignored in order to achieve the state and region's necessary development.
He urged the youth to avoid joining political organisations that support a small number of people over the majority, stating that the 2023 elections would be more about the candidates than their political parties.
According to Adaka, “We came here to associate with him and to tell him that as youth leaders, we are going to support him for the upcoming elections.
“If we must be youth conscious, we must support a youthful candidate. Not just supporting any youth candidate but supporting someone that will perform and deliver. From what he has done in time past, he has shown competence and capacity to bring more youths on board.
“That is why we support the candidacy of Omo-Agege/Friday Osanebi for governor and deputy governor respectively”.
He noted that the association will not align itself with bent systems and derailed the character of some similar associations.
He then promised to run a transparent and accountable government for the reform and investment in the future of Niger Delta youths.
