A group under the umbrella of Edo Young Socio-Political Elites has urged the Rt Hon Marcus Iziegbeaya Onobun, a member Federal House of Representatives, to listen to their clarion call and join the Edo 2024 governorship race.

“You worked efficiently and cordially with the current administration and understand better than many what the MEGA AGENDA of the current administration means and will work for its sustainability, haven’t been part of its making and progress in the areas of enabling laws enactment.
“Most importantly, you are a youth, and your becoming the Governor of Edo will crown the current administration’s effort of ensuring youth inclusiveness at all levels of governance like no other has done in the history of Nigeria for which Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration must be given its due kudos.
