Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Mr Marcus Onobun, has declared his intentions to contest and represent the people of Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
Onubun made this known yesterday, when he paid a visit to PDP members in the three local government areas that make up the constituency.
He said: “I promise to be a vocal voice in the National Assembly representing the people of Okpebholo as well as bringing the dividends of democracy that will translate into infrastructural development and guarantee peace and security for the people of Nigeria, as well as my immediate constituency.
“A ticket for me will bring the required infrastructural development to Okpebholo. I have the experience. I will team up with my colleagues, hands in gloves to bring about the desired change in Nigeria.”
In response, the chairmen of the three local government the speaker visited appreciated him for making the move describing it as programmes that could bring the transformation to the country.
