He said it was the antecedents of Hon. Fayeofori that earned him the support of the youths of the area.
Hon. Johnbull further disclosed that more youths are expected to occupy sensitive political offices in the forthcoming elections and not just in the case of DELGA.
“Hon. Rowland Sekibo, Hon. Samuel Nwanosike and former chairman of Asari-Toru, Hon. Ojukaye Flag Amachree were youths that have proven themselves in leadership positions”.
Hon. Johnbull used the medium to call on the youth friendly governor, Barr. Nyesom Wike to give more opportunity to the youths to prove themselves in leadership position.
