The full statement reads, “There is no excuse for us to remain the way we are or do things the same way we have been doing it and seeing no meaningful results. Politicians has come and promised all sorts and end up doing opposite of what they have said. I Hon Steven Afuah after deliberations with esan sons and daughters have decided to offer myself by setting the pace that will bring development, security and create wealth for the people of Esan North East local Government.
The process at which other Political parties select their representatives to govern the people is done in such a way that even the most creative minded person won’t be able to deliver. God fatherism is eaten the country so deep and has brought the country backward and this is why Labour Party has come to change the narrative.
I will be narrowing my agenda to 5 key areas which my administration will be focusing on.
1 Sensitisation Ignorance is no doubt a big issue that can make people stagnant and with time backwards in all aspect of life. I have spoken to some groups who will be going around schools, markets, parks and clans to occasionally speaks to the people of their rights and how to hold the people they elected accountable.
2 Wealth creation there is no doubt that Esan North East is blessed with the most industrious people in the world. With our good climate and heritage there is no reason why we can’t invest in it and make it lucrative to benefit the people of esan people and beyond.
3 INCLUSION The people of Esan North East must and should have a say in the development and matters concerning them. With this my admistration will make sure every group, union and age grades has a representative in our monthly meeting to deliberate on issues that are most pressing.
4. Security No matter how good and industrious a place is without a meaningful security of life and property there can not be development. My administration will be working with the security agencies and as well create other forms of security in form of cameras, intelligent personnels and informants.
5. Social welfare Security there is no reason why we can’t look after the needy, widows, orphans, people living with disabilities, pensioners, unemployed and veterans that has contributed to the development of Esan North East.
This is just the 5key focus among others that my administration will be focusing on.
