HighLife

This is an era where young people have the opportunity to shine, and this sentiment is especially evident in the realm of politics. Two prominent figures, Adebo Ogundoyin and Adewale Egbedun, stand out as two of the youngest Speakers in Nigeria, drawing the attention and hope of the nation.

Recognising the weight of expectations placed on the new government, Nigerians understand that no single individual can fix everything. Instead, the responsibility of governance lies with those around the leader, particularly those with fresh ideas and energy. This is where Ogundoyin and Egbedun come into play.

 Ogundoyin currently serves as the Speaker of the Ninth Oyo State House of Assembly. As the representative of Ibarapa East Constituency and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ogundoyin has displayed remarkable potential. At just 36 years of age, he has surpassed the expectations of many since his first entry into the House of Assembly in 2018.

Presently, Ogundoyin is a pillar of strength in Oyo, gradually amassing the political influence needed to effect meaningful change in the present and future. Loved and respected by many, the 36-year-old serves as an inspiration to young people throughout Oyo, and the public holds high expectations for his future accomplishments.

Egbedun is equally impressive as Ogundoyin. At 38, he represents the Odo-Otin Constituency and serves as the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly. An energetic and gentlemanly individual, Egbedun’s goodwill towards the people of Osun is evident in his actions and decisions.

Having earned the trust of the people, Egbedun’s heart undoubtedly beats for the well-being of his constituents. Despite his affiliation with the PDP, he is not expected to show favouritism solely to party members. Like Ogundoyin, Egbedun is anticipated to kindle hope and progress for all the people of Osun.

With Ogundoyin and Egbedun leading the way, other young individuals are inspired to step forward and achieve greatness. As such, much is expected from these two dynamic and promising Speakers. Their leadership holds the potential to pave the path for a brighter future and empower the younger generation to make their mark on the nation.
