A renowned political, public affairs analyst and foremost aspirant in the Edo Central Senatorial election on the platform of PDP, Hon. John Yakubu is a candidate to watch given his pedigree as a grass roots politician
For decades now John Yakubu has been a regular public affairs analyst both on national and local television and radio stations, where he had at every given opportunity duelled on burning national issues of public interest. His inputs have nonetheless contributed to the development of our nation, particularly Edo State.
We have seen him on national television making bold statements on several occasions while speaking on critical matters that affect the nation.
As commentator who has voiced his opinions on matters affecting the National Assembly with regard to their rule of engagement in the business of law making, it is believed that Hon Yakubu has prepared himself for the task of effective representation of Edo Central people at the Senate.
Conversely, you will agree with me that someone without an idea of the workings of the National Assembly cannot be said to be fitting to be selected a senator.
Therefore, the road to the red chamber is already clear for John Yakubu as he has been preparing for this journey to the National Assembly judging by his past political activities. The only simple request Esan people are making right now is for PDP to kindly nominate him for this great assignment to effectively serve his people and to contribute to the development of Esanland once again.
There is no doubt that he will surely stand tall while at the National Assembly because he would want to give all he possessed intellectually to benefit his Senatorial District and Edo State in general.
From the foregoing, one cannot but concede that Hon Yakubu is already familiar with the national politics with his constant engagement in political discourse that proffer solutions to Issues of governance at all levels.
Therefore, when elected Senator to represent the good people of Esanland, it would be job made easy for the Uromi born politician. It is just for all hands to be on deck to ensure that the illustrious son of ours gets the clearance to emerge as the candidate of the PDP and we have no doubt the overwhelming support is already waiting for him to win the election at the poll irrespective of the political parties the people belong.
It is also good to remind our people that this is not the period to pursue material things as a yardstick for choosing who represents you. Basing our choices on the highest bidder will certainly be cloud our individual and collective senses of judgement and lead us to making the wrong choice. Therefore, as they come to you one after the other listen to them carefully in order to know the best to choose.
As for John Yakubu his past records are in the public domain where you can go and make inquiries and ask questions about him. He is a straight forward person whose trust has since been confirmed through massive following in respect of this Senatorial project. You only need to play your part by supporting him to emerge victorious.
Let's try and avoid those who do not have the interest of the people at heart and reject them outright, because the electorate have suffered so much in the hands of desperate politicians who gain power through manipulation. This is the period to look inward and choose the right candidate and that person is John Yakubu.
