Philip Agbese, a house of representatives member-elect, says
his constituents should vote for the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wherever
they are residents in the country.
Agbese was elected to represent Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo federal
constituency of Benue in the house during the presidential election and
national assembly elections that were held in February.
In a statement on Wednesday, the politician said the ruling
party has formulated plans that would benefit all citizens.
“We have articulated plans that will benefit Nigerians,
which will also benefit the people of my constituency that are in the diaspora
within Nigeria, I mean those that are not based within the physical area of the
constituency,” he said.
“Their interest will
be better served when they are in a state that is not in opposition to the
central government.
“It is on this account that I urge them to vote for the All
Progressive Congress’ candidates in any state in which they are resident. My
people are well-traveled, they are industrious, and they make an impact when
they participate in politics.
“That is why I want them to pitch their tent with the
winning side. If they sit by and allow opposition parties to win the
governorship seats in the places in which they are residents then it would
become tough for them to have certain leverages.
“While I want them to
vote APC in whatever state they are in, I particularly urge those living in
Lagos state to cast their vote for our governorship candidate, Babajide
Sanwo-Olu.
“In his case, he is seeking re-election and his first term
has shown that he is passionate about building public infrastructure in the APC
tradition. Voting for Sanwo-Olu means continuity in building these
infrastructures and it also implies that the state would not be in opposition
to the government at the federal level.”
