Keep Hopes Alive, Edet Tells Supporters

Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairmanship aspirant in Labour Party, Hon. Douglas Edet, has urged his party members in the FCT to keep hopes alive as the party is set to take over the area councils.

Edet said the emergence of Labour party senator representing and the House of Representatives member is a dream come true, adding that they must work hard to ensure that the party performs well.

Speaking to LEADERSHIP Weekend after they endorsed the leadership of the national chairman of Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, Edet said he knew the problem of AMAC, adding that seven of the 12  wards in AMAC lack development.

He said the cost of living in the FCT is very high, adding that he would ensure provision of mass housing and industries to engage youths.

Edet, who said a tile company can engage many youths, especially women, said: “If I pick this ticket and win the election, we can focus on the rural areas.

“We can make Kurudu as rich as Maitama if we can provide infrastructure. I have the solution in AMAC.

“I believe that the Labour Party is a party for all. We don’t operate by tribalism. I believe I have the masses and whatever agreement I reach with my people, I will be able to fulfill it. Every community will channel their problem through their representatives, councilors and people I will appoint,” he said.
