Edo LG Polls: Etsako Central APC Chairmanship Aspirant Pledges Grassroots Development

The chairmanship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, Hon. Goodluck Momodu, on Friday, pledged to prioritise the empowerment of youths and women if elected chairman of the Council.

He assured residents that development would reach every ward under his leadership.

Momodu, who is widely regarded as the leading aspirant in the race, said his administration would focus on creating opportunities for young people and women through skills acquisition programmes, business support initiatives, and deliberate economic inclusion policies.

According to him, empowering youths and women remained central to sustainable development in Etsako Central, stressing that no meaningful progress can be achieved if the productive population is neglected.

“I will empower our youths and women with practical skills, financial support and real opportunities to grow. We must create jobs, support small businesses and attract production factories that will generate employment and revenue for our local government,” he said.

The aspirant added that he would invest heavily in agriculture, positioning Etsako Central as a food production hub capable of creating wealth for farmers and boosting the local economy.

The chairmanship hopeful also assured residents of improved security, promising to work closely with security agencies and community leaders to tackle insecurity and ensure that citizens can “sleep with their two eyes closed.”
