On Democracy Day 2023, I had an exciting afternoon spent with young minds, representing all 18 Local Government Areas of the State and members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Edo State Chapter . What I have witnessed from them gives me hope and strengthens my resolve as governor to prioritize our commitment to our youth.

We are rapidly transforming Edo into Nigeria's first smart State and preparing our youth for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With the extensive work of our Skills Development Agency (EdoJobs) we are equipping them with skills and knowledge to be globally competitive and supporting them as they contribute to the development of our nation.

As a government, we are preparing Edo for the future and our young people remain the owners of that future.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State's Igueben Local Government Area (LGA) is currently mired in a leadership crisis.

Following a gathering of party executives, leaders, and stakeholders on June 10, it was decided by a vote of no confidence that Ken Ihensekhien was no longer the party's leader in the LGA. The Hon. Sylvanus Igbogbo received the baton.

The party's executives, leaders, and stakeholders explained their decision, stating that they did so after careful consideration.
The party stated: "The local government executives, leaders, and stakeholders of the APC, Igueben Local Government, after due consultations, met on Saturday, June 10, 2023, and passed a vote of no confidence on the local government leader, Hon. Ken Ihensekhien, over his anti-democratic tendencies, poor leadership style, and consistent underperformance in elections since he assumed the leadership of our party, the APC.

"His arbitrary and unjustified policies have prevented not just faithful APC members from defecting but also prospective new APC members from joining.
The party continued, "As a result of the aforementioned circumstances, the House resolved and nominated Hon. Sylvanus Igbogbo, a kind and capable individual, to lead the local government area as the head of the All Progressives Congress (APC) going forward.

Lawrence Okah, the APC's Edo State Secretary, told Popular News over the phone that the party's constitution does not recognize the position of leader and that, as a result, the party is uninterested in the matter.

Ihensekhien responded as well, disputing the assertion: "Who removed me? Who called the gathering from which I was expelled? Nothing like that exists.
Igbogbo responded to Ihensekhien and Okah's denial by saying, "Yes, the subject is not the party's state secretariat's concern. Whoever heads the party is chosen by its local stakeholders. I won't fight with Ihensekhien if he claims to be the party's leader in Igueben. He is likely in charge of one or two party members. All the best to them.

According to Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, the administration is continuing to invest in education and technology, giving young people in the state the information and skills they need to be globally competitive and to contribute their fair share to the growth of the state and the country.

During an interactive session to commemorate 2023 Democracy Day and the installation of the new leadership of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Edo State Chapter, in Benin City, Obaseki addressed youths from the state's 18 local government areas.

The governor noted that free Wi-Fi service is currently offered in a number of ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) and other public places in the state and will soon be extended to all LGAs in the state. He added that the government is making Edo Nigeria's first smart state by providing fiber optic connectivity in all communities.

Following the implementation of the three-day workweek for civil servants and other public employees as part of efforts to mitigate the effects of the Federal Government's removal of fuel subsidies, the government at the weekend introduced the 24-hour free Wi-Fi service in MDAs and other public places to ensure unlimited Internet access to workers.

Obaseki stressed the importance of education in fostering societal advancement, saying: "What we are leaving behind is a system that will raise your reading and numeracy levels so you can compete with your peers wherever in the world.

"Technology is still another crucial component of progress since, without it, it is impossible to compete globally. We will leave behind two things as a state. First, Edo will rule because we will ensure that every child in Edo receives a high-quality education. Second, spread internet connectivity across Edo.

"Free Internet connectivity is available to you as you leave this hallway. In addition, there are JOOPSA, the Pensions Bureau, the School of Nursing, the Civil Service Commission, and more at Ring Road. More locations across the state where young people can go for free connectivity will be opened by us.

"Every local government in Edo State is connected. Every municipal government office will be fiber-connected by October of this year. There will be fiber connections in every school and primary healthcare facility by the time we leave office the following year.

"We think that by putting in place this infrastructure, we would be preparing Edo for the industrial revolution, just as we are empowering our young people to break out of their shells and start taking charge of their lives right now."

Obaseki offered the NYCN subvention and urged them to believe that the fund's openness and accountability would allow for more subvention.

Moses Joseph, the new chairman of the Edo NYCN, earlier commended the governor for creating the conditions that allowed young people in the state to flourish and fulfill their share of the responsibility for the state's expansion and development.
