He stressed that his party the YPP is grassroots oriented and will do everything to ensure that the youths are carried along in all his programmes.
Dr Umeadi however stressed that his Foundation had initiated various community and youth development programmes, aimed at equipping the youths with the right skills and empowerment for economic sustainability and entrepreneurship even before he thought about the idea of contesting for an elective position.
Continuing he decried an apparent apathy by the youths on issues of skills acquisition in preference for white-collar jobs.
He said, “My representation as your senator, would provide a more needed enabling environment to the youths to explore and maximise their potential so as to add value to society.
In their response the town union leaders expressed their joy to have him in their midst. They said it was a thing of respect that he honored their invitation, and commended him for taken the bull by the horn to contest for the Senate seat. They welcomed the development and prayed that his project will be blessed by God, as only God enthrones leaders.
