2023: Labour Party Driven By Need For Positive Change, Says Delta Assembly Aspirant

Delta State House of Assembly candidate for Bomadi Constituency under the platform of Labour Party, Mr. Poweide Foburuku has said all candidates bearing the party’s flag in the forthcoming general election are driven by a passionate desire to effect positive change in the country.

“From the first to the last, we are being motivated by our presidential flag bearer, Mr. Peter Obi, who is determined to make a real change in Nigeria”, he told newsmen weekend in Asaba, the State capital.

While noting that Obi was the only presidential candidate that would improve the economy, education and security of lives and property of Nigerians, Foburuku expressed joy over the successful primaries, verification and listing of his name as a candidate by INEC in the State.

On the low participation of youths in election processes across the country, he expressed his determination to inspire and mobilize youths to come out en mass and participate fully in the forthcoming general election.

According to him, “youths should engage fully in different political positions in the country so as to make a visible change in the nation’s politics. You cannot make a change if you are outside but if within, you would be able to make a change that will enable people to come out of this political quagmire.

“We need to dwell more on education of our people because we want them to be more educated and focused. If given a chance to represent my constituents at the State Assembly, I will sponsor bills that will be beneficial to our people and such that will attract development of the area.

“The forthcoming general elections in the country will be treated with much seriousness. We are against those leaders that had been there without much seriousness. We are against whatever that is wrong with the system of governance. This is our own chance to make corrections in the system of governance and the only way to make such corrections is to partake fully in the process of elections.

“I intend to reach out more in the area of education, to enable the people see the qualities in me that will make them have hope in my candidacy. I will teach them on the need of not selling their votes on election days, that things have actually changed and their wise choice of candidate to cast votes must be done in the right place”.

He urged the electorates to vote with their conscience and not vote a candidate for pecuniary gains.

“Looking at it, Delta State is a PDP state and so far, the things that had been done in one way, that is why somebody can be there without much legacy.

“Now is the time, wake up, and understand that there is need to get your Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to enable you exercise your franchise by voting who you wants come 2023 general elections in the country is your responsibility.

“Anything that happens after that will make you know that you caused it and you were part of it. In Bomadi constituency, there are so many things still undone and they need to be done especially in the area of constructing bridges that will enable the people carry out their duties.

“Those things are our driving force because there are so many things that need to be done there. So I have taken it upon myself to make these changes by trying to see BEDC for electricity; to educate the youths to be serious with education and make the necessary consultations to better the state of our roads.

“Bomadi youths mostly do not go to school basically because there are no higher schools at the riverine communities and those who went to school do not have jobs. My aim is to make sure that we keep them with something that will promote and enable them progress in life.

“If elected, I will move motions that will bring tangible projects in my constituency that will be of best interest to them. My people need schools like Polytechnic or a University to be cited in the area. There must be something that is so strategic that will bring people closer to the constituency, including people from other places, to come for potentials.

“We want a change and the only way to make such change is to be within. So, Nigerians should understand that Labour Party is the party that is out to rescue Nigeria. I am confident that our party will instill the needed change in Nigeria”, he assured.
