There is a wild jubilation in Bayelsa state as the Gov. Henry Seriake Dickson, appointed a 33-year-old Ibarakumo otobotekere, from Tombia community, Ekpetiama clan, Bayelsa state, as Youth commissioner.

He is currently in the race for the chairmanship of Yenagoa capital city.

He is 33 years of age and was born 27th May 1984, and a student of political science from Imo State University...

The Jubilation began after the screening of the commissioner nominee by the Bayelsa State House of Assembly.

Ibarakumo Otobo would be the youngest man to serve in the Bayelsa State Executive council.

He is also the Chairman of Bayelsa state volunteers, a youth network set up by the government to provide employment opportunities for our teeming youths.

Good development.
Let him use the opportunity given him to make a meaningful impact to show that the youths can actually do something if given the chance.

Good development.
He should represent the youth well.
He should not follow the footsteps of Pius Anyim, Yahaya Bello and Dimeji Bankole who have shown that Nigerian youths should not be given any opportunity cos they will misuse it.
If he serves well, I see him as a big figure that will rewrite the history of the Nigerian youths in politics

New world!

derespect:

I guess you meant who his parents are. For him to still be an undergraduate at IMSU at his age gives an inkling of his background.

34 yrs undergraduate so what? Nigerians are too judgmental. No be everybody go graduate at 21. Some people have been involved in a lot of things and just decide to do schooling at a later stage. The fact that he has been appointed a commissioner at 33 shows he is not your regular guy.

Nonsense all man for em self in this country, weda young or old all they care about is their Immediate family

Young girls for Bayelsa go hear wen.

Pathetic story of my country. A 33-year-old is considered very young as a commissioner? Really?! Yeah, It calls for jubilation in a country where you must be 50 years and above to be considered for a political appointment. SMH
