Speaking on ‘Focal Point’ an AF-TELEVISION programme on Wednesday, Ekeoma said the decision of Alex Otti, the governorship candidate of Labour Party in the state was borne out of the need to have youth inclusiveness in governance adding that “it is youth o’clock.

 

“Across the world, we are seeing the emergence of young persons, youths in key leadership position and Dr. Alex Otti being someone that is youths and women friendly, thought it most appropriate at a time like this to do this positive shift, by picking a vibrant young person, an engineer” Ekeoma said.

 

According to the spokesperson, the inclusion of youths in governance would help bridge the gap between the old and the young.

 

“for a long time our youths have kind of been isolated from key governance position… but now our youths are taking over, they are championing the change…” he added.
