Standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Ogbia Constituency one in the 2027 elections into the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Hon. Whoknows Azibola Odoko has said he would focus on human capital development, amongst others if he is elected into the State legislature. <\/p>\n
Odoko stated this during a chat with Journalists in Yenagoa, the state capital yesterday.<\/p>\n
Our source gathered that ex-President Jonathan is also a constituent of the Ogbia constituency one. <\/p>\n
He said the era of voting for candidates who abandon constituents upon their elections was over, noting that there was nothing better than empowering and building constituents so that they can eke out a living for themselves. <\/p>\n
The assembly hopeful averred that if elected, he would amongst other empowerment programmes roll out an educational support scheme for the training and retraining of his constituents.<\/p>\n
He also pledged to facilitate the provision of jobs for constituents who have the requisite skills and credentials for employment, saying that under his stewardship as a lawmaker the constituency will heave a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the crisis rocking the PDP, the party’s candidate noted that all the major political parties in the country have their own share of problems, emphasizing that the Peoples Democratic Party would emerge stronger and more united on or before the 2027 polls.<\/p>\n
He said: I’ll win the election. My popularity cut across party lines in the constituency and beyond. My teaming supporters are ready and willing to convert the goodwill I enjoy from across the constituency into votes for me come 2027.<\/p>\n
“Upon my election I’ll institute an aggressive empowerment scheme in education, jobs creation and employment generation for my constituents.<\/p>\n
“The era of electing candidates who don’t have anything to offer to the constituency is over”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
