Foremost Edo South senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Osaretin Edosomwan has promised to facilitate more investment to the senatorial district if given the opportunity to represent the people at the Senate come 2023.
The aspirant, who is a business mogul with chains of companies in Nigeria, the UK and the USA and was once a Special Adviser to the State Governor on Projects monitoring stated this on Monday while appealing to stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support and nominate him as the party flagbearer.
Edosomwan said that with his business acumen and international network he plans to lobby local and international investors and relevant Federal government agencies to turn Edo South into a tourist haven, to harness it's rich history and culture adding, "These are my major priorities for seeking the Senate seat to represent the people of Edo South in the National Assembly".
While appreciating the reception so far and show of solidarity by the stakeholders and members of the party in the District and the local government areas, Edosomwan explained that his decision to seek the senatorial position was borne out of his desire to serve the people.
He bemoaned the slow pace of development in the district, and said the senatorial district is far too rich in terms of mineral and natural resources to be as underdeveloped as it is presently.
“My passion to serve is coupled with my credentials and ability to deliver. If my party gives me the opportunity to represent our people at the Senate, they will not regret it", he said.
He added that he is passionate about the growth and development of the district as he believes that the Tourism sector holds the key to opening up the senatorial district for more economic growth which will in turn change positively, the standard of living of the people and that of generations to come.
According to him: “Edo South is rich in oil and gas deposits, in historical and cultural assets but we have very little to show for it. Our senatorial district lacks good roads, hospitals and schools and our latent tourism potentials are largely untapped; Our elected representatives need to bridge this gap at the federal level and that is what I am going to do.”
“I have been in the party for years, I have carried the political handbag, gathered the much needed experience in governance and in the business world while also staying a loyal and committed party member. I am here to seek my party delegates support because I know with their backing, we can achieve so much,” he added.
