Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki
A vote of confidence has been passed on Gov. Godwin Obaseki by the Youth Wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo, for involving youths in his policy initiative and programmes.
This was made known by APC Edo Youth Leader, Comrade Valentine Asuen while he was speaking with newsmen in Benin today.
Asuen was reacting to allegation by Mr Tony Adun the Edo South APC Youth Leader that Obaseki the youths were not in Obaseki’s plans for the state.
“We hereby dissociate ourselves from the statement credited to Adun.
“Obaseki made it clear that one of his major goals was to create nothing less than 200,000 jobs for people and residents in the state and from available records youths have been the major beneficiaries.
“Thousands of youths have been gainfully employed, while many others have been trained in different skills.
“The State Government ensured that all political appointees from commissioners, special advisers, senior special assistants and special assistants among others were nominated from across the 192 wards in the state,” Asuen said.
He alleged that Adun wasn’t speaking on behalf of the entire youths of the state.
