I remain committed to the progressive ideals of our party, the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President, and the visionary leadership of our Leader, Distinguished Senator Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In an exclusive\u00a0 interview with Sunday PUNCH, Jimawo pledged to abide by party rules and urged fellow aspirants to focus on issue-based campaigns.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI am in the race to show that politics remains an instrument of public good. I am out to represent the good people of Etsako Federal Constituency and give them a voice in the scheme of things. I call on aspirants to the various offices to focus on issues. They should tell the people what they have in store for them.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have a party that has proven its capacity to win elections across all levels of goverment and what we are out to do is to continue to win for the APC and our people,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On what informed his decision to run, Jimawo pointed to his exposure abroad and a desire to improve governance at home.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have lived in the United Kingdom for years and I have been privileged to witness how things work in other climes.

What I will assure our people is that the time has come for us to look before we leap,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jimawo\u2019s bid for the Etsako Federal Constituency seat has been building over time, driven by his involvement in grassroots development and party activities. Known for philanthropic interventions in health, education and community security, he has maintained ties with his constituency despite residing in the United Kingdom. His frequent visits to his Constituency is seen as a factor likely to work in his favour.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He previously served as the Chairman of the UK-Ireland Support Group of the Senator Monday Okpebholo Governorship Campaign Organisation and has participated in various APC mobilisation efforts, both within Nigeria and in the diaspora.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supporters say his aspiration is rooted in a push for more responsive representation and constituency-focused legislation. His campaign is expected to centre on governance reforms, youth development and leveraging global best practices to improve public service delivery in Etsako Federal Constituency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bayo Davids A former Executive Director of the Edo State Rapid Response Agency, Abraham Jimawo, has obtained the expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the Etsako Federal&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126862,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
