The leader and chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC) Igbo Forum Benue State, Captain Ogwochukwu Emosi has challenged youths in the state to position themselves for leadership positions.
Captain Emosi threw the challenge recently at the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Makurdi during the 40th birthday celebration of the state chairman, Comrade Austin Agada. He said with the way and manner the state chairman has handled the affairs of the party in the state, it was clear that the youths who are often referred to as future leaders are ripe to assume leadership positions in the country.
According to him, since his emergence as state executive of the party, he has always ensured to carry everybody along in his scheme of things, irrespective of tribe, religion and other trivialities.
The business mogul affirmed that the state party chairman has started on a sound footing but however, advised him to remain focused and more innovative in order to record more victories in the party’s future outings.
While congratulating Comrade Agada on his 40th birthday, Captain Emosi maintained that fourty years was an age of wisdom since life and everything that makes a man begins at forty. He expressed the hope that the state APC chairman will leave the party better than he met it by the time he is leaving office.
He said with the turn of events during Agada’s chairmanship, the youths were no longer future but present leaders since Comrade Agada’s performance has brought enough conviction that the youths can handle any responsibility that they are saddled with. The chairman urged other youths to borrow a leaf from Comrade Agada.
The Igbo leader advised all Igbo indigenes resident in the state to put behind their bitter experience in the last political dispensation and forge a common front. He emphasised that Benue was their home having established their businesses across the length and breadth of the state.
