joshuaYagba Federal Constituency: We are concerned about the best candidate, not rotation – Yagba Good Governance Advocacy Group.
The people of Yagba Federal Constituency have been asked to refuse to be divided by the sinister motives, urged to support a democratic process that will produce the best candidate.
The YAGBA GOOD GOVERNANCE ADVOCACY GROUP made the disclosure at a Press Conference ON THE 2027 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SEAT, warned that some sponsors and executors of an agenda are masquerading to use to divide the Yagba people.
Spokesperson of the group, Eniola Olayemi, said it is questionable that in 2024, some misguided elements and hired guns in the hands of selfish politicians are already heating up the polity, inviting firefighters where there is no fire.
“Those who have gone to the National Assembly four times are campaigning against what they called a third-term agenda when what he told his constituents was that the longer one stays in the National Assembly, the more influential one would be to be able to attract development. Has that principle changed?”.
“The ongoing agenda is peopled by some cash and carry politicians whose stock in trade is to eat from everywhere and go no where. Our generation of Yagba will make sure such ideology does not see the light of the day”.
“Mopamuro Local Government is a respected part of Yagba Federal Constituency and will continue to be respected. It was Mopamuro Local Government that produced the first person to represent Yagba in the Green Chambers and he was supported by Yagba East and Yagba West”.
“Those who are agitating for Mopamuro today were the same people that went against Henry Abimbola and Olafemi Folorunsho in 2019 and 2023 respectively. But they are agitating today because of their selfish interests”.
“In 2015, the seat was contested by candidates from across the Federal Constituency. It has always been so in the spirit and letters of democracy and fairness. Mopamuro was in the race in 2019 and 2023 against Yagba East. So when did the fairness begin”.
“As a group, we are not in support of any particular candidate but we are supporting a democratic process. A good representative doesn’t have to come from zoning or a particular place. For example, Elder Leke Abejide did not just pay for students of Alu alone. Everywhere in Yagba was touched. What we need is performance and not zoning”.
“Anyone and everyone who is interested in the House of Representatives seat should come out and contest, provided the person is able to meet the constitutional requirements. All the Local Government Areas can produce candidates or aspirants. The people of Yagba should be given the opportunity to decide”.
“It is imperative to note that no group of people can constitute themselves into the Yagba voice. The true voices of Yagba are the people in our villages. They know who they want and who they can listen to”.
“From 2019, Yagba people have been voting for the people they believe in and not candidates who they don’t trust. The same thing will happen in 2027”.
“It is pathetic that some elders who have soiled their hands and are not trusted by the people are deceiving themselves that they are speaking for the people. We will not hesitate to expose their perfidious past if they do not desist from their trip to no destination”.
“We call on all Yagba people to resist attempts by some selfish and spent forces to hoodwink our people into thinking they mean well for Yagba. They are the people we knew yesterday who have not changed their garments of deceit and political trade. They support everyone and support no one. For them, the confusion they aim to create will give them more food”.
“We believe in picking the best to do the best for Yagba. We say no to zoning. Yagba is Yagba. Can you even ask those “elder salesmen” the party they belong to? They are confused but they cannot confuse us. Someone have created a standard and we won’t go below that standard. Do not listen to the “Elder Salesmen”.
