My Story

My sojourn in life and where I stand today is a function of providence and the privileges and opportunities afforded me by God Almighty, and the peopleHe has placed around me as family, friends, and associates. I remain eternally grateful. I am humbled by the privilege ofthe experience I have garnered over time; it recalls the obvious needs, inequities, and injustices, bedeviling the society, and helplessly begging for answers and solutions. Sadly, our society which isoverflowing with competent, vibrant, and passionate young men and women with dreams, visions and hope of a better society,are fiercely excluded from participation in contributing their own quota to nation building. This, amongst others, are motivation to offer humble self to serve you in Legislative capacity. Our people have severally mismanaged the opportunities of putting our best foot forward, hence dwelling on primordial considerations that have robbed our people of quality and responsive representation at virtually all levels of political leadership in Nigeria. The consequence today is the level of poverty never experienced in the history of the nation, unemployment, poor, inadequate and/or absence of infrastructure, poor education, and sadly, unimaginable level of insecurity across the nation.Certainly, we cannot do the same thing over, and over again, and expect a different result. We can no longer afford the luxury of repeating old mistakes, hence, the time to get it right is NOW!!!
