Leading aspirant for Ogbia Constituency two seat in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Hon. Anyam Kaiser Otobo has promised equitable representation if elected into the assembly in the 2027 elections.
Otobo made the pledge while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after obtaining and subsequent submission of his nomination form midweek at the Party’s Secretariat in Yenagoa, the state capital.
He added that it was time proper link was built between constituents and their representatives in the State legislature, stressing that that is a sure way for effective and efficient service delivery for democratic dividends to get to the grass roots.
He said: “I’m not promising to come build sky scrappers for the constituency. Of course as a lawmaker you’ll look at what comes to you for the execution of projects. But what I can assure you is that I will connect my constituents with the government.
”The major problem we’ve as a people is the issue of abandonments of the constituents and those who sacrificed their all to work for our lawmakers during elections. Most often it appears that our lawmakers forget about those who elected them into the legislative houses. And that is one thing I am coming to correct when elected”.
The assembly hopeful who also bared his mind on his political antecedents said he has previously served twice as a councilor in his ward at the Ogbia local government area, and that he has also served as a Supervisory Councillor in same local government area.
He noted that when elected, he would bring his experience to bear in representing his constituency.
He added: “Twice I was a Councillor in my ward, and I was also appointed as a Supervisory Councillor at a particular time. In the departments where I served as Supervisory Councillor there was nothing, but upon assuming those offices I made something out of those places”.
