A former House of Representatives aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Adeyeri Stephen, has emerged as the National Democratic Congress candidate for the Akoko South-West/Akoko South-East Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Adeyeri, who emerged unopposed during the party's primary, pledged to transform the fortunes of the constituency through people-oriented programmes if elected.
Speaking shortly after his emergence, the NDC candidate expressed appreciation to party members for the confidence reposed in him, assuring them that he would not betray the mandate entrusted to him.
He promised to prioritise youth empowerment, job creation, quality education, healthcare delivery and infrastructure development across the constituency.
According to him, the people of Akoko South-West and Akoko South-East deserve effective representation capable of attracting meaningful development and improving their standard of living.
"A new chapter is about to begin in our constituency. For too long, our people have yearned for quality representation and purposeful leadership. I am committed to providing that leadership and ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every community," he said.
Adeyeri said he would focus on creating employment opportunities for youths and women through skills acquisition programmes, agricultural initiatives and support for small and medium-scale enterprises.
"If elected, I will work tirelessly to attract federal projects, facilitate employment opportunities for our youths, empower women and provide scholarships for indigent students. My priority will be the welfare and development of our people," he added.
The candidate also urged constituents to reject politicians he accused of deceiving the electorate and holding the constituency back through years of self-serving leadership.
He appealed to residents to support credible leaders with genuine intentions to serve rather than individuals who only seek political offices for personal gain.
"Our people must refuse to be misled by politicians who have, over the years, enslaved the constituency through empty promises and politics of deception. The time has come to liberate ourselves from failed leadership and embrace a future built on accountability, transparency and development," he said.
Adeyeri further assured party supporters that his campaign would be issue-based and focused on addressing the challenges confronting the constituency.
He expressed confidence that the NDC would record a resounding victory in the election, pledging to remain accessible and accountable to the people if elected into office.
