As the agitation for youth in governance has reached its crescendo in recent times; ahead of the 2019 elections an Imo State House of Assembly aspirant, Chief Uba James Esile has promised to reclaim the lost glory of Onuimo Local Government area if elected as their representative.
The aspirant, running on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, stated this while making his intention to represent Onuimo Local Government Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly known.
According to Esile, his core focus as a member of the state legislature will be youth empowerment, infrastructural development, and good governance.
Esile, who has been adopted by the people of the constituency, stated this in an interview, pledging to involve the youth in every government decision-making process and also bring governance to the grass root.
He said: “Education and skill acquisition will be my top priority areas. One sure way to reclaim the glory of our people is empowering the youth through education and skill acquisition. Gone are the days where politicians use youths as thugs and abandon them when they get into office. My desire is to empower as many youths as possible. Seeing them climb the ladder of life will be my greatest joy.
Esile, who insisted that Onuimo Local Government Area has suffered marginalization in the past that resulted in untold hardship and backwardness both in human capital, education and infrastructural development, vowed to return the lost glory of the constituency if elected as their representative come 2019 as he will change the dynamics of the constituency.
“I am standing for election because I want to serve my people and correct the wrongs of the past. Our people have been marginalized and this has shown in the gross decay noticeable all over the constituency.
“I am using this opportunity to call on all sons and daughters of Onuimo to join the fresh air train so that together, we can rescue our dear land and secure the future of our land and youths.”
