The Edo 2024 governorship hopeful said if given the opportunity to serve Edo State as its Chief Servant in 2024, that he will help to create the necessary enabling environment that will bring out the best in our youths, adding that there were many hidden talents like Victor Osimhen, be it in sports, IT, or in the creative arts, who for now lack the necessary support and environment to shine.
