May 15, (THEWILL) – A Bayelsa House of Assembly aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ogbia Constituency 2 of the state, Chief Godknows Obein, has promised to improve the welfare of his Constituents if he wins in the forthcoming APC primaries in the state.
Speaking at the APC secretariat in Yenagoa, shortly after submitting the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the House of Assembly election in Bayelsa, the aspirant also pledged to empower his constituents at the APC secretariat in Yenagoa,.
Speaking with Newsmen on the side line of the quest by the Ogbia Constituency two people weeks ago for him to contest the polls, the aspirant hinted that his resolve to vie for the position was particularly based on the need to impact the lives of his Constituents.
He noted that the people in Ogbia Constituency 2 have for long been yearning for good, responsive and responsible democratic representation.
Chief Obein berated former members of the State House of Assembly from the area for not putting in their best in terms of empowerment initiatives for the teeming youths and women of the various wards and communities of the constituency, saying that upon his election he would leverage his wealth of experience as an entrepreneur to build lasting legacies of representation for the constituency.
“One key and very important thing I’ll be doing, if elected, is that I’ll properly engage my constituents in entrepreneurial training and skills acquisition to make sure the teeming unemployed Youths and women, have something to fall back on.
“As you know, I’m the most popular aspirant among all other aspirants across party lines in the constituency. Just go round and check, you will believe what I’m saying here. I’ll win and make empowerment initiatives readily available for my Constituents,” he said.
The Assembly hopeful, who also bared his mind on the processes involved in obtaining and submission of the interest and nomination forms described it as fair, noting also that the APC is the only alternative to addressing the inadequacies occasioned as a result of poor representation in the Constituency.
Meanwhile, Chief Obein has again called on the APC delegates to vote for him in the party’s Assembly primaries slated to take place soon, this was even as he has restated his desire to continue impacting positively on the lives of his constituents through his businesses spread across various parts of the constituency and the state in general.
“As you know me, even when I’m not handling any elective or appointive office, I’ve still been empowering our Youths and others. I’ll continue in this direction if I’m elected,” Chief Obein said.
