Amgbare Ekaunkumo, Yenagoa
Bayelsa state House of Assembly aspirant for Southern Ijaw constituency 1 on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Sampson Eniyekedou , has assured his constituents of effective representation if given the mandate.
He made this known to newsmen after picking his intent and nomination forms, Thursday, May 5th at the APC State Secretariat, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
According to him, he is in the race for the Southern Ijaw Constituency 1 Assembly seat to provide positive, all inclusive representation, which he said, had been lacking in the constituency.
“I am in this contest because I want to give quality representation to my people because they deserve it and much more.”
The assembly hopeful said, he would deliver quality representation, being a grassroots politician, who has the interest of his people at heart and has studied the environment and knows what his people need.
“Our primary responsibility has always been to give adequate representation to our people and better interaction; even though we are there to make laws that will bring about the enhancements of the socio-economic well-being of our people, as well as carry out appropriation and oversight of the same funds appropriated for the executives and the system.”
The aspirant whose campaign slogan is; ‘a different direction’, said: “I want to bring the deserved change. My people are educationally backward. We lack infrastructural development. My people are poor.
“These are the things that motivate me to answer the clarion call of my people to represent them. I will change the narrative. My people must be redeemed.”
On what he would be bringing onboard that would make a difference, he said; “I will support and encourage my people to go into massive and industrial farming.
“Human capital development is another area that i will touch to elevate the status of my people from the present poor state. The less privileged will be touched.
Asked how he intended to dislodge an incumbent, he asserted that the electoral law had greatly taken care of the possibility of rigging, adding that victory in elections would be more determined by the candidate’s popularity in his constituency.
Two of his supporters, Rachael Ebiaboere and Comr Krotimi Gagede, who also spoke to the media, said the aspirant is a grassroot politician that truly knows what the people desire.
They assured that if the aspirant gets the party ticket, he would be victorious based on his political pedigree and antecedents.
