EKITI STATE YOUTHS INCLUSION IN LEADERSHIP - The Much-Talked-About Tomorrow is Here with Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.

Dear Distinguished Young Colleagues;

One of the assumptions of Learning Curve Theory is that "when someone engages in a repetitive job over a long period, the time taken to execute the exercise reduces and efficiency is increased". Choosing leaders for future assignments today affords the progenies "hands-on" experiences from the crucible of retiring adults.

The time has come once again to set the pace that determines how far the Party's youths will be included in decision making and governance that assures continuity of APC and development of Ekiti state.

Young people constitute 60% of membership of every political party and so are valuable resources that can only be ignored at great loss but one would wonder why we do not take the advantage of the genuine opportunities in their numerical strength to take part in governance.

Our generation is one that is obsessed with quick results, often blissfully unaware of the concept of consistent hard work. When the elders are putting the structures together, we seem to focus on tokenism and "the highest bidder syndrome" with fleeting benefits which lasts but for a little while compared to being part and beneficiary of good governance for the next 4years.

The administration of Dr. Kayode Fayemi gave our youths the opportunity to thrive, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Commissioner for Finance, Health, SA's SSA's, Chairmen of LGA's and many more are youths. Ekiti 2022 APC Governorship primary election provides us another opportunity to deliver the Choice of the People and create more chances for continuity and youth inclusion in governance.

Before us is the man who was accorded with the responsibility of Secretary to the Committee on Creation of Ekiti at the age of 26years, Chief of Staff (CoS) to Governor at 34years, 11years as part of the Government of Ekiti, one time Student and Lecturer in our indigenous University (EKSU) in the person of Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO).

Biodun Oyebanji has the requisite experience in governance as SA, CoS, Head of Office, Commissioner and SSG to the Ekiti State Government. He was given the opportunity to serve as a youth and he devoted is time and discharged his responbilities diligently. We are confident of the replication of this by prioritizing youth inclusion in policy and decision making that affects them.

We are Fountain of Knowledge and in driving our Economy via our knowledge, there will be a need assessment to target the special, most critical sectors particularly, where very urgent actions are most suitable in the State, the nation and at the global level.

This will birth a deliberate approach to create an institutional platform where Ekiti students will be encouraged and supported to go into study and research and to train and retrain the youth to be solution finders and catch up with the global needs.

Consistency is all about being committed to your actions and it is the quickest way to climb the ladder of success. It is therefore incumbent on us as youths of All Progressives Congress (APC) to open more doors of opportunities by coming together, mobilize and vote for Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji as the candidate of APC on Thursday 27th January 2022 and Next Governor of Ekiti State come June, 2022 elections.

Together we will achieve the great.

Build the Youth, Build the Nation
Aluta Continua, Victoria Ascerta!
