As the clock ticks down to the highly anticipated Edo gubernatorial election on September 21st, the voices of the youth in Edo State are growing louder, and one name seems to resonate with them above all others—Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata. With just 21 days left until the polls, young voters across the state are making their preferences clear, and Akpata’s candidacy is at the forefront of their discussions.

Edo youths are drawn to Akpata’s candidacy not only because of his impressive track record but also due to his genuine engagement with their concerns. Unlike many politicians who have come before him, Akpata has made a point of listening to the needs and aspirations of the younger generation. His focus on job creation, youth empowerment, and economic revitalization strikes a chord with a population eager for change. “We need a leader who understands the struggles we face and is willing to take bold steps to create opportunities for us,” said Osagie, a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Benin City.

Moreover, Akpata’s commitment to integrity and transparency has earned him the trust of Edo’s youth, who have grown weary of the empty promises and corruption that have plagued previous administrations. They believe that under his leadership, the state can finally break free from the cycle of underdevelopment and mismanagement that has held it back for so long. “Akpata represents a new era for Edo State. We want a government that works for the people, not for the pockets of a few,” stated Ivie, a recent university graduate.

With the election fast approaching, the enthusiasm for Akpata among Edo’s youth continues to build. His campaign has successfully tapped into the hopes and dreams of a generation that is ready to take control of its destiny. As the days count down, it’s clear that Edo’s youth are not only supporting Akpata—they are championing his cause as their own.
