Comrade David Godwin Itopa, an aide to the PDP National Scribe, paid a courtesy visit to the good people of Okehi during the congress of our great party, The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He commend the committee on been fair and transparent during the ward congress under the leadership of our political father Hon. A. K Saliu and the local government executives as well as all other okehi critical stakeholders for their conduct at the congress.
He noted that the relevance of the youths to the development of any society is beyond contest. It is the segment of the population that keeps all other segments of any society going. The engine room of any society is the youth demography.
Across time and space, no society has ever been created and achieved development without the glorious and heroic contributions of its youths. It now seems, as though, the invaluable roles of the youths in determining the political destiny of Nigerian politics, especially at the grassroots level are non-existent, and when these roles have become deficit as a result of non participation of youths, they readily reflect the negative Nigerian political culture which include but not limited to electoral violence, the do- or -die political syndrome, and corruption of which the modern day Nigerian youths are constantly being integrated into in recent time.
While addressing the press, he advised that the youths; as the future of our beloved country, Nigeria, should wake up to responsibilities and return to the grassroot while they continue to prepare themselves for leadership roles.
Comrade, David Godwin Itopa describes the ward congress held at Hon. AK Saliu compound as one of the most peaceful, unifying congress ever held in the history of Okehi LGA.
