Edo Guber: Ize-Iyamu Advises Youths to Remain Eternally Vigilant

•Advises them against financial inducement

The Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organisation has urged the youths, including students in Edo State, to remain eternally vigilant as the September 10 state governorship election draws nearer.

He urged them not allowed themselves to be used and dumped again by Governor Adams Oshiomhole and the All Progressives Congress (APC) for “their selfish political interest.”

The campaign organisation stated this in a statement issued yesterday while responding to on-going secret moves by the APC to financially induce the youths for “unholy and dirty” political jobs during and after the election.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organisation said it was too late for APC to stop the willpower of the Edo people to punish the ruling party for subjecting them to untold hardship in the past seven and a half years.

It said PDP believes that one of the ways to guarantee peace and security is to properly direct the energy of the youths to productive ventures through job creation, saying the agenda of the party candidate in the election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, if elected, is to create an enabling business environment in the state that would attract honest investors to take advantage of all the Private Partnership Programme (PPP) initiatives for the benefit of the youths.

Condemning Oshiomhole for wasting the state financial resources for a political aspiration of the APC governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki, Ize-Iyamu campaign organisation said a government that refused to recognise the youths for nearly eight years cannot be trusted.

According to the organisation, “In the last seven and a half years, the APC-led government in the state regarded our young men and women as workers that must be used and dumped. They cannot now come around, few weeks to the election, and try to induce them for their dirty political jobs. We must say no to them because they don’t mean well for us.

“Ize-Iyamu believes strongly that our youths are today’s citizens and they must be recognised for their potential to make amazing
changes in the state. Addressing young people’s needs and aspirations is vital for both social and economic progress of the state.
