All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced the sales of nomination and expression of interest forms to aspirants for the forthcoming National Assembly bye-elections.
The election, slated for August 16 in 12 states, is to fill legislative vacant seats due to the deaths or resignations of lawmakers who left office to contest for executive positions.
Mr. Oscar Aghedo, an aspirant for Edo House of Representatives for Ovia South-West/North-East Federal Constituency, expressed his determination to provide adequate representation, especially in infrastructural development, if elected.
“Today is a great day for me, having purchased these forms to run for the Federal House of Representatives for Ovia South-West/North-East Federal Constituency,” he said.
Aghedo assured that his intention is to make good laws for the country and ensure proper representation.
“My intention to represent my people is to make good laws for our country and to ensure proper representation, especially in the area of infrastructural development,” he added.
The aspirant also emphasized the importance of youth empowerment and support for the less privileged.
“Keeping the youth meaningfully engaged will reduce the crime wave and other social vices. We must create avenues to keep them productive and focused,” he said.
Another aspirant, Yakubu Waziri, who is vying for the Chikun/Kajuru Constituency seat in Kaduna State House of Representatives, promised to prioritize security and youth empowerment if elected.
“We are not just experiencing relative peace; we are enjoying permanent peace, to the glory of God,” he said.
