ABIRU LISTS LAGOS SPECIAL STATUS, POVERTY ALLEVIATION, WELFARE OF CONSTITUENTS, PEOPLE-FOCUSED REPRESENTATION AS TOP AGENDA. ...As Somolu hosts the APC Lagos East Senatorial flagbearer.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Mr. Tokunbo Abiru, has promised to focus on the actualisation of special status for Lagos State, welfare of his constituents, People-focused Representation, youths empowerment, among others, when eventually elected as Senator, representing Lagos East senatorial district, on October 31 bye-election. He explained this on Tuesday, when his campaign trail moved to Somolu.

While addressing the party members and residents Somolu LG and Bariga LCDA, Abiru said he would serve the people with integrity and passion if elected. MegaXpression magazine reports. 
 
"Today, it is the turn of Somolu, the home of energetic, resourceful and vibrant youths, not just in Lagos East, but also in Lagos State. Our goal is to reach out to all voters – decided and undecided – in Lagos East and convince them to cast their ballots in favour of the APC and its candidate for this bye-election.
 
"We have consciously defined our priorities without ambiguity and in line with the manifesto of our party. If and when, by the grace of Almighty God, I am elected as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Lagos East, my focus will be on the plans hereunder pointed out;
 
"Youth Empowerment: Lagos East is noted for its teeming population of vibrant youths. Sadly enough, majority of our youths in this senatorial district are not economically empowered. There are a lot of programmes the federal government set up to empower our youths across the federation. I will work with the agencies implementing these programmes so that our youths in Lagos East get their fair shares.

"Poverty Alleviation: The rate of poverty in this country is very disturbing. Individuals, who have means, are required to initiate personal interventions to support the initiatives of the APC governments nationwide to fight poverty. As a result, I have decided to set up a foundation to address this challenge in Lagos East. As a corporate person, I have briefed my team to work out mechanisms and modalities that make the foundation sustainable. The programme will focus on the less privileged and the vulnerable – indigent students, orphans, widows or the fatherless, among others.  

"Ease of Doing Business: To position Lagos East as the epicentre of economic activities in Africa, we must improve our ease of doing business. This is an aspect of our economic environment that often determines investment flows into this country and indeed our state. Much improvement has been recorded since 2015. Compared with what it was before now, our ease of doing business rating has improved. In 2019, we were ranked 131 out of 190 countries. We can do better than this rating. If and when elected, I will be preoccupied with promoting bills and sponsoring motions that can improve our ease of doing business rating.  

"People-focused Representation: I promise to represent the good people of Lagos East and indeed our great party with commitment, integrity and passion for the people leveraging all the experience, competences, knowledge and relationships I have acquired over three decades as an economist, chartered accountant, banker, commissioner for finance, senior banker and CEO.

"Welfare of Constituents: My total focus will be on the welfare of my constituents in Lagos East and Lagos State at large. If and when elected, I will use my good office, my energy and resources to promote the well being and welfare of all my constituents within my capacity.

"Special Status for Lagos: If and when elected, I will join hands with my senior distinguished colleagues in the Senate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola as well as all members of the House of Representatives from the state led by my dear brother, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila to demand special status for Lagos State. It is indeed long overdue," Abiru said. 

He therefore enjoined all members of the LOCs, who have been carefully selected across the district to know the huge task at hand which is to take APC plans and programmes to rejuvenate representation in Lagos East Senatorial District to the people, saying it is the people who are empowered to determine who represents them in the senate.

"I will be counting on your individual supports and collective votes to be able to achieve these set plans. With you, we can redefine legislative representation in Lagos East," Abiru added.
