As the race for different political offices hots up in Nigeria ahead of the 2023 general election, different reasons have been deduced as to why politicians jostle for various political positions through the ballots.
While many cannot wittingly phantom in clear terms why they run for political offices, there are some who have cut out agendas or plans of action, if you like, before embarking on a political voyage.
One of those who have happened to be having defined reasons for seeking political offices is Prince Odianosen Henry Okojie, the All Progressive Congress, APC candidate for Esan South-East/Esan North-East Federal Constituency of Edo, in the 2023 National Assembly election slated for February.
In an Exclusive interview with Truthlive.net, Prince Okojie revealed that the burning desire he has within him to serve his people and bring about better development for his constituency is the propelling factor that spurred him into politics.
While he reiterated his commitment to serve the people with love, respect, and humility if given the opportunity come 2023, the young politician whose political network spanned across the political parties divide, expressed confidence that the electorates from his constituency will give him the mandate to represent them because they trust he will never let them down.
He noted, “You know, I am not a conventional politician or the everyday politician who does nothing but politics, I am a businessman, a philanthropist who loves his people, and that could be seen with the kind of responses, warm receptions, and encomiums I get anywhere I go in Esan land, it is not because of my level of education, wealth, or exposure, but just because they know I love them and I have always been there for them in my own little ways”.
“God just decided to smile on me and put me in a position where people will be trooping in to look for me and want to be around me. That is the kind of motivation that I have, seeing people happy and trying my possible best to solve their immediate problems and good enough, the people understand this about me and love and follow me”.
On why he is confident of clinching the coveted seat at the Green Chamber, the husband of one of Nigeria`s top movie stars, Mercy Johnson, opined that what he offering is irresistible.
In his words: “What I am offering is love for my people and you know, love is irresistible. In Nigeria and around the world, my family is loved, thanks to God and to the status of my wife as a movie star, and we have no choice but to give love back to the people who have supported us for over a decade and we the only way I can do this is by serving them with sincerity of purpose”.
“I am ready to serve my people with love and genuineness of heart, ensuring all projects due to my constituency are attracted to the two LGAs with an equal spread, as I am someone who understands the diversity and equality that have existed in the area since the old Agbazilo, which has made us live together as one in peace and harmony, even till now that we have Esan Northeast and Esan Southeast”.
‘Our people deserve the best representation and that is what I am ready to offer in 2023, by the Grace of God, if given the opportunity”, the Uromi Prince emphasized…
