AUSTIN ISIKHUEMEN urges Esanland to vote in someone capable of delivering service to the people
The Edo Central senatorial seat became vacant as a result of the resignation of Senator Monday Okpebholo, on becoming Edo State Governor on November 12, 2024, in line with the statute. Edo Central, since then, has not had any representation in the upper chamber of the national assembly. INEC has since announced the timelines for the election to choose a new senator to take that position and give Esanland a voice at the table of national discourse, oversight and resource allocation.
It is crucial that the right person be chosen, not just to fill the political gap, but to represent the people of Edo Central visibly and vigorously with a view of defending the homeland, ensuring that Esan is not shortchanged by personal interest or a lack of altruistic capacity, in addition to contributing to the national objective of sound law making for the common good. Such a senator has to be one that considers the common good above personal aggrandizement. He must not be overwhelmed by rabble rousers that say all the beautiful things in senate plenary but does the opposite back home!
