The Ekiti State Youth Parliament appreciates His Excellency, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, Governor of Ekiti State, for the inclusion of a representative of the Ekiti youth constituency in the Campaign Council for his re-election.
This thoughtful gesture once again reflects the Governor’s consistent commitment to youth inclusion, participatory governance, and the recognition of young people as critical stakeholders in the development of our state. By creating room for young voices at such an important strategic level, His Excellency continues to demonstrate that governance in Ekiti is not only about the present, but also about deliberately preparing the next generation of leaders.
For us in the Ekiti State Youth Parliament, this nomination is not merely symbolic. It is a reaffirmation of the Governor’s belief that young people must not only be heard but must also be entrusted with responsibility in shaping the political and developmental future of Ekiti State.
The Parliament also notes that the Speaker of the Ekiti State Youth Parliament has consistently expressed confidence in the projects and policies of this administration, and led the Youths of the state to endorse and adopt him as candidate as early as first week of July 2024 reflecting the belief among many young people that this government continues to create meaningful space for youth participation in governance and public leadership.
We therefore view this gesture as a clear indication that the culture of youth inclusion that has characterized this administration will continue to deepen. The youth constituency in Ekiti remains willing partners in advancing this vision and supporting the continued progress of our state.
