An aspirant for the House of Representatives in Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency, Hon. Akingbola Ebenezer Akintunde, popularly known as Mogbaf’OGO, has hailed the defection of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to the African Democratic Congress, describing it as a bold step capable of reshaping Nigeria’s political landscape.
Akintunde, who made this known while unveiling his manifesto in a statement made available to journalists, said the development signalled a renewed commitment to progressive politics and people-centred governance.
He noted that Kwankwaso’s move would strengthen opposition politics and inspire credible leaders across the country to align with platforms that prioritise national development and inclusiveness.
Addressing residents of the constituency, the aspirant said his ambition was driven by a commitment to restore hope and provide effective representation at the National Assembly.
According to him, the constituency deserves “visible development, responsive leadership, and a strong voice at the national level,” stressing that his candidacy was aimed at delivering purposeful governance.
Akintunde outlined his vision to build a constituency where opportunities are accessible to all, youths are gainfully engaged, infrastructure supports economic growth, and constituents’ voices are adequately represented.
On his mission, he pledged to ensure accountable representation, sponsor people-oriented bills, and attract federal projects and investments to the constituency, while promoting transparency, inclusion, and fairness in governance.
Highlighting key areas of focus, the aspirant said his administration would prioritise youth empowerment through the establishment of skill acquisition centres, promotion of digital opportunities, and provision of grants and soft loans for small businesses.
He also promised to improve access to quality education by facilitating scholarships and bursaries, enhancing public school infrastructure, and supporting teacher development programmes.
On infrastructure, Akintunde pledged to advocate improved road networks, electricity, and water supply, while ensuring equitable distribution of constituency projects.
He further emphasised plans to strengthen healthcare delivery by supporting primary healthcare centres, organising medical outreach programmes, and advocating affordable healthcare services.
Speaking on women empowerment, the aspirant said he would promote gender inclusion, support women entrepreneurs, and facilitate access to funding and vocational training.
Akintunde also assured residents of improved security through collaboration with security agencies and support for community-based safety initiatives.
To promote accountability, he pledged to hold regular town hall meetings, maintain open communication channels, and provide periodic reports on projects and legislative activities, while maintaining zero tolerance for corruption.
Reaffirming his commitment, the aspirant said he would remain accessible, responsive, and dedicated to representing the interests of the people with integrity.
He urged constituents to support his aspiration, describing it as “a collective journey toward progress, unity, and prosperity.”
