Osa-Ogbegie: Tenebe Deserves Commendation, Not Criticism Over Edo APC Reforms
A Benin-based legal practitioner and public intellectual, Daniel Osa-Ogbegie, has defended the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, saying the party under Governor Monday Okpebholo and state Chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, is deliberately dismantling the old political order through a generational shift aimed at empowering younger leaders.
Osa-Ogbegie, in a statement in Benin City, said Edo politics had for decades been dominated by the same set of political actors who moved from one public office to another, leaving little room for younger and capable individuals to participate meaningfully in governance and party administration.
According to him, the current APC leadership has demonstrated the courage to alter that trend by creating opportunities for a new generation of political actors.
He noted that the emergence of younger leaders across party structures and government institutions was evidence that the administration was committed to political renewal.
