Nigerian Youths Must Know That Politics Is Not All About Deception – Godwin Obaseki

Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki has come out to say that his government is nurturing youths to be responsible politicians and effective leaders in the future.

He shared this at a Special Election Victory Thanksgiving organized by a state legislator, Mr. Marcus Onobun, and held at St Paul’s Anglican Church, Iruekpen, Esan West Local Government Area, on Sunday.

According to him, he is doing all he can to make young Nigerians see politics as a platform to serve humanity.

He added that it is up to those in government to prove that politics in Nigeria is not about deception.

His words, “We cannot continue to make young people believe that politics is about deception; we have to strengthen their faith that politics is a service to humanity and to God; that politics is about providing for the people.

“We have learnt that it is not about today, but about tomorrow. So, we have to support the youths because tomorrow will be built by the young people we see today.

“If we don’t support and encourage them, how would we build tomorrow? That is why I am committed to nurturing young people like Marcus,”

Mr Marcus also said, “The Governor has been giving young people the opportunity to serve in his government; I am a beneficiary of that kindness.”
