From Edo Streets to APC’s Inner Circle: How Tarex Is Forging Edo’s Youth MOVEMENT  for Tinubu 2027

In a state where nearly 63% of the population is under 35, the youth vote is not just a demographic—it is the decider. And in the lead-up to 2027, Chief Lucky Ohimai, popularly known as Tarex, is emerging as the linchpin that connects Edo’s massive youth base to the political vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

As the Youth Coordinator for Tinubu 2027 in Edo State, Tarex is not merely organizing events—he is strategically realigning the youth political architecture of the state to fit within the framework of the APC’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

According to the National Bureau of Statistics and INEC voter registration data:

Edo has an estimated 4.8 million residents.

Over 2.1 million are youths aged 18–35.

In the last general election, youths accounted for over 54% of total votes cast in Edo State.

Now imagine this: If even 30% of that youth population (about 630,000 voters) are strategically mobilized under the Tinubu 2027 banner, it creates a numerical edge capable of flipping or solidifying any political tide—especially in swing LGAs like Egor, Ikpoba-Okha, Oredo, and Esan West.

Tarex’s Impact Blueprint

Chief Lucky Ohimai understands that political mobilization today must go beyond slogans. That’s why his structure hinges on three core pillars:

1. Empowerment Through Engagement

Tarex has facilitated digital training workshops, artisan retooling programs, and SME incubation clusters to foster economic participation.

These initiatives resonate with job-hungry youths who are tired of empty promises.

2. Strategic Messaging

Through events like the Tinubu Loyalty Walk, university campus tours, and social media drives, he’s consistently repackaging Tinubu’s reforms into youth-friendly, solution-based narratives.

3. Community Penetration

His presence is visible in both urban hubs like Benin City and rural strongholds across Esanland. This layered grassroots network ensures that no youth voice is left behind.

Aligning Youth Dreams with National Vision

What Tarex brings to the table is alignment. He doesn’t just preach the Renewed Hope agenda—he translates it. From the fuel subsidy removal that freed up infrastructure funds, to economic policies that benefit tech-savvy startups, his messaging connects governance to everyday realities.

He often says: “When a youth understands a policy, they don’t just support it—they defend it.”

2027 and Beyond

With his ongoing consolidation of youth blocs, Tarex is doing more than campaigning—he’s laying the psychological and numerical foundation for APC’s success in Edo. If current engagement levels are sustained, political observers believe the youth coordinator could deliver over 700,000 votes in favor of President Tinubu’s re-election bid.

That is not just loyalty—that’s logistics. That’s leadership.

Chief Lucky Ohimai “Tarex” is no longer a rising star. He is a proven general, mobilizing the most powerful political army in Edo State—the youth—and aligning their passion with Tinubu’s progressive vision.

The countdown to 2027 has begun. And in Edo, Tarex is not watching from the sidelines. He’s engineering the win.
