From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The immediate past Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Hon. Kingsley Fanwo, has promised to give Yagba Federal Constituency quality representation at the House of Representatives when elected in next year’s National Assembly poll.
Fanwo spoke to newsmen after picking his expression of interest and nomination forms to contest on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) in Abuja on Friday.
“I have learnt from the best in terms of politics, in terms of administration, in terms of humanitarian service, I have learnt from the best and the best is Alhaji Yahaya Bello. You know when you look at what he has done in Kogi State, all of us are proud of his giant strides. This is a man that inherited a balkanized State. A State that was divided, a state that was disunited but he came and ensured unity in the State.
“And apart from that, our governor has been able to ensure security in the State. A State that was almost becoming a pariah State, a State that was the cesspit of kidnapping and criminalities, he has been able to put his foot down to ensure that our State today is one of the safest State in Nigeria.
“Also when you look at prosperity, with all of his program that touched on the welfare of the good people of Kogi State, you will agree with me that he’s the best thing to have happened to the people of Kogi State.
“And that’s why we are not surprised that Nigerians are calling on him, he’s the first to pay for the expression of interest form and nomination form to become the president of Nigeria.
“When he becomes president, I am not saying if he becomes president, I am saying when he becomes president, he will ensure security, he will ensure unity and he will enthrone prosperity in our nation,” he noted.
On what he will bringing on board in Kogi State as Representatives member, he said: “I am contesting to represent the great people of Yagba Federal Constituency and when you look at people of Yagba, we are blessed with best brains in Nigeria.
“When you talk of the best educationist, the best in medicine, the best in engineering, you are talking of the very good poeple of Yagba, but unfortunately for us, we are not being represented in that capacity in the green Chambers. I am not saying the person there now is not doing anything, he has done some good things, but the reason why I’m stepping forward is because I can do it better,” he said.
