I’m contesting for the House of Reps seat in 2023 to expose politicians’ lies—Obaseki’s former aide

Andrew Momodu, a former aide to Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, has stated that his desire to educate Edo citizens about the complexities of democracy and politics motivated him to run for a House of Representative seat in the upcoming general elections.

Momodu, who served as Obaseki’s Special Adviser on Security and Public Order in the past, announced this in a statement issued on Sunday in Benin, the state capital.

The aspirant, who wants to represent Etsako Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber, also boasted that he would lead Edo State Contingent victorious members back to the National Assembly in 2023 after their victories.

According to him, he was in the race to the Federal House of Representatives in 2023 to deliver the people of Etsako federal constituency from political enslavement and misrepresentation.

The statement read, “I am in the race to win. I am in the race as a response to the call to service by the Etsako people. I am in the race to provide leadership to my people. I join the race to the National Assembly to enable me to expose the black box of politics and revealed inconvenient truth against the convenient lie that has been used to mislead and misrule our people.

“We are tired of representatives who begged Etsako constituents to bear with the Federal Government. A representative that ought to articulate the aspirations and pains of the people to the government for intervention has rather turned the other way.

“The duty of representative is not to lament with the people but to bring the people out of lamentation. I am in the race to bridge the gap and provide job opportunities to our people, deploy legislative influence through zonal intervention projects to develop our communities, and attract federal presence across our land.”
