2027: SDP Reps candidate pledges to attract FG projects to constituency

Mr Solomon Akwashiki, Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for Lafia/Obi Federal Constituency, has pledged to attract more government projects to the constituency if elected to the green chamber in 2027.

Akwashiki, member representing Lafia Central Constituency at the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, made the pledge on Saturday when Eggon communities of Lafia/Obi Local Government Areas endorsed him for the House of Representatives in Lafia.

Akwashiki, Chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts, also pledged quality representation at the green chamber of the National Assembly if voted for.

He appreciated the Eggon Council of Elders, Eggon Cultural and Development Association (ECDA), Eggon Youth Association (EYA), ECDA Women Wing and Ame Wo Ba Eggon (AWBE) for the endorsement and promised not to fail them if elected.

“I want to appreciate you for endorsing me and I am happy that my kinsmen endorsed me for the House of Representatives come 2027.

“I have done a lot in the areas of jobs, empowerment, scholarship, water, electricity, roads, among other people-oriented projects.

“By God’s grace, I will do more and I will not fail the people of Lafia/Obi federal constituency if elected in 2027,” he said.

Akwashiki also pledged purposeful leadership if given the opportunity in 2027.

The lawmaker called on the people of Lafia/Obi federal constituency and other Nigerians to vote only for leaders with integrity during the 2027 general elections.

On his part, Mr Musa Jatau, who spoke on behalf of the Eggon Council of Elders, said the endorsement of Akwashiki followed his achievements in the areas of jobs, water, electricity, scholarship and his purposeful leadership in the house.

“We are not here under the umbrella of any political party but we are here under the umbrella of Eggon communities of Lafia/Obi federal constituency to endorse our own, Hon. Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki, for House of Representatives, Lafia/Obi Federal Constituency come 2027.

“Mr Solomon Yakubu Akwashiki has done well and is still doing well as member representing Lafia central constituency.

“He has also given jobs, scholarship, empowerment and executed people-oriented projects that have direct bearing on the lives of the people of the constituency, that is why we endorsed him for the house of representatives seat come 2027,” he said.

On their part, Mr William Emmanuel, ECDA Chairman of Obi LGA, Mr Yahaya Allu, EYA Chairman, Nasarawa South, and the Women Leader, ECDA Women Wing, Nasarawa South, Mrs Juliana Akuadne, all corroborated the position of the Eggon council of elders.

They said Akwashiki, their son, “is making them proud” at the state legislature through quality representation, hence the need for the endorsement.

They assured their readiness and commitment to mobilise support for Akwashiki to succeed in the 2027 general election.
