In a bold and unexpected move, the Speaker of the Edo Youth Parliament has formally tendered his resignation, citing a moral duty to speak out against what he describes as rising bad governance and a system that “no longer represents the true aspirations of Edo youths.”

His powerful statement, now circulating widely across social media and civic platforms, reads:

“Bad governance is like a stray bullet — it does not discriminate. I choose truth over silence.”

The resignation instantly sparked intense public debate, with many Edo youths praising the Speaker for what they called an act of courage, while others expressed concern about deepening divisions within youth leadership structures.

A Stand Against Silence

According to sources close to the former Speaker, the decision followed months of internal tension, policy disagreements, and frustrations over issues he claimed were being ignored — including youth empowerment, transparency, and accountability in public institutions.

He reportedly stated that remaining silent would mean becoming complicit in a system that fails to protect the interests of the young people he was elected to represent.

His resignation letter emphasizes that leadership should be rooted in truth, fairness, and service, not “loyalty to failing structures.”

Reactions From Youth Circles and Civil Society

The Speaker’s exit has triggered widespread responses:

• Youth activists described his statement as a wake-up call to Edo leaders.

• Civil society groups have called for dialogue, urging the government to address concerns raised rather than dismiss them.

• Several commentators warned that the resignation highlights growing dissatisfaction among politically conscious young people in the state.

Online forums have been particularly active, with many Edo youths expressing that the speech “captures exactly how young people feel in the current political climate.”

What This Means for the Edo Youth Parliament

The Edo Youth Parliament, known for its advocacy and civic engagement programs, now faces leadership restructuring. Members are expected to meet in the coming days to determine:

• Appointment of an interim Speaker

• Review of internal policies and grievances

• Possible reforms to restore confidence in the institution

Political observers believe the resignation could force a deeper conversation about youth inclusion and genuine representation across Edo State.

A Message Echoing Beyond One Office

While the resignation marks the end of the Speaker’s official role, his message is already resonating far beyond the Parliament. Many see it as a symbolic declaration that young leaders will no longer remain quiet in the face of governance failures.
