[dropcap]H[/dropcap]on. Innocent Esewezie, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Oshimili North constituency aspirant in the Delta State House of Assembly, has promised that if given the mandate, he would initiate policies and programmes that will put smiles on the faces of the people of his constituency. Esewezie,has urged Nigerians not to just vote aspirants because of age but should vote for antecedents. He gave the advice during an brief interview with Grassroots Publishers in Asaba recently.
Hon. Esewezie According to him, Nigerians do not have to trust young people without qualifications and if we make this thing about age then we are getting it wrong. He mentioned that he hasn’t made age his key selling point since he began the journey. “But truth be said, good leadership is not a function of age alone. If we say we want a young person, believing he/she is going to give us the best of leadership, then we are wrong because we have some young governors that have tested and failed woefully.
It is not about age, it is about antecedents and what the person in question has to offer.” “I have always been an advocate of good leadership. It is high time we the youths with antecedents stop losing out politically. Ahead of 2019 elections we need to mobilise ourselves and identify trusted youths with antecedents amongst us to bring about the change that we desire. Remember, politics is a game of numbers and we have it, so let us use it, he said.”
The Assembly hopeful also promised that if given the mandate by the good people of Oshimili North, he would initiate policies and programmes that will put smiles on the faces of the people of his constituency. Hon. Innocent Esewezie expressed optimism that his administration will ensure better representation, healthcare, youth empowerment and town hall meetings.
He said that he is the best and tested candidate among the aspirants that are interested in the Oshimili North constituency seat that will bring the needed development to the area.He pleaded with the leadership of PDP to give all the aspirants the level playing ground to test their political popularity, boasting that he will defeat every one of them.
According to him, he is the most popular and more acceptable aspirant among the people aspiring for the position,Hon. Esewezie pleaded with the delegates to cast their votes for him in the forth coming Assembly primary. He pointed out that he is the most qualified aspirant among the various contenders.
