The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Oredo Federal constituency, Hon Osaro Obaze yesterday said his reason for aspiring to represent the area in the green chamber is to make laws that would reform the security system and support true federalism.
Obaze, a former local government council chairman in Oredo local government area, stated this during a press conference at his campaign council office in Benin City, Edo State.
He also said, he would sponsor bills that will define the role of traditional the institution in governance, promote primary healthcare and help to create an enabling environment that will make the private sector the engine room for job creation.
“It is my desire to contribute robustly to the legislative process by sponsoring bills and motions that will ameliorate the living conditions of my people. I shall concentrate on the core areas of the economy, agriculture education, sports development, cultural values, public infrastructure and security.
“I shall pursue vigorously, legislations that will deepen the nation’s economic fortunes, strengthen the purchasing power of ordinary Nigerians and improve on the performance of our currency in an attempt to tackle rising inflation and reducing the poverty level of Nigerians.
“There is systemic security failure in Nigeria; I will sponsor bills to support the state police that will address this failure. Also, there is the need to practice true federalism, if anything like that exists, so that those who have the resources can control and pay tax to the centre. We will work to make sure that the role of the traditional institution is constitutionally defined,” he said.
