A Young Boy's Campaign To Become The Next Governor Of Edo State Got People Talking - See Reactions

There have been a saying that "The youths are the future of tomorrow", but obviously it is very difficult (or almost impossible) for the youths to hold any political offices in this country Nigeria.

Politics is often associated with age and experience, and young people are often seen as inexperienced, unimportant and cannot offer anything meaningful to societal political progress.


For young people who are interested in getting into politics, they should join political parties. Demand that those parties have inclusive policies, and that young people occupy important party committees.

Through their involvement with political parties, young people can learn more, lobby for parties to include youth policies, and introduce youth and women quotas to increase their participation in politics.


In order to advance their political career, the youth or the young ones need to build their individual capacities and engage in peer mentoring and networking. Younger ones

(youth) can engage with (the older ones) politicians to mentor them and share best practices. Those with political ambitions can form network and groups that support young people and promote their political participation.

As the Edo state Governor's election is closing by (September 19th, 2020), a young Boy's campaign to become the next Governor of Edo State got people talking.
