As Comrade Sekpe Sheneni Samuel picks form for the post of zonal chairman of National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Kogi East, his tested and trusted capacity has put him ahead and better positioned to lead Kogi East of NYCN.
Ordinarily, the post of zonal chairman should be solitarily reserved for Bassa LGA since it is clear that the post of state chairman will be taken by the Igala majority in Kogi East. As minorities in Kogi East and for the purpose of fairness and justice, the people of Bassa LGA deserve the zonal leadership. This is not about population but about accomodativeness, inclusiveness, and socio- cultural unification.
And with the aspiration and presentation of a capable young man, it is expected that the needed support should be given by our brothers and sisters in Kogi East in particular and Kogi State in general.
Comrade Sekpe is an embodiment of humility and humanity. He is experienced in youthful related activities and has the intellectual capacity to promote and defend youthful agenda.
For the benefit of all, below is an abridged information about the man for fair and just representation
