MC Tagwaye Declares For AMAC Chairmanship Race

Entertainer and politician, Dr Obinna Simon popularly known as MC Tagwaye has declared his intention to run for the Chairmanship of Abuja Municipal Area Council.

LEADERSHIP reports that Tagwaye recently defected from the All Progressives Party (APC) to the Social Democratic Party.

In his declaration speech in Abuja today, he said he has always been passionate about serving my community and empowering the youth and women.

In his speech, he said; “Today, Nigeria faces unprecedented challenges. Our women and youth, especially in the grassroots, struggle to access basic necessities like food, affordable accommodation, and affordable healthcare. The cost of living has become unbearable, and it’s heartbreaking to see our communities suffer. As someone who has witnessed these struggles firsthand, I have decided to join the race for AMAC Chairman under the platform of the Social Democratic Party.

“My decision to run for office is not taken lightly. As a former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I was deeply committed to the party’s ideals. However, over time, I came to realize that the party had deviated from its original mission and was no longer prioritizing the welfare and progress of the Nigerian people. Its policies and actions perpetuated hardship on low-income earners, and I could no longer continue to associate with a party that seemed to have lost sight of its founding principles.

“As a renowned entertainer, businessman, politician, and youth leader, I have always been passionate about serving my community and empowering the youth and women. My vision for AMAC is one of progress, inclusivity, and sustainable development. I aim to leverage my unique blend of skills and experience to drive positive change and ensure that our council becomes a model for effective governance in Nigeria.”

He pledge to establish programs that will equip youths with the skills and resources needed to succeed in a competitive world. “My administration will work towards establishing cottage industries that will create jobs and stimulate economic growth in our community.

“I’m driven by a profound conviction that I can catalyze transformative changes in AMAC by championing causes that uplift marginalized communities, advocating for policies that tackle pressing challenges in healthcare, education, affordable accommodation and infrastructure, and demonstrating unwavering commitment to honesty, transparency, and accountability. By doing so, I aim to not only fortify democratic institutions but also ensure that our government prioritizes the welfare and progress of AMAC citizens.

“My ultimate goal in joining this chairmanship race is to seize the opportunity to shape the trajectory of our nation and leave an indelible mark on the lives of AMAC residents, fostering a brighter future for generations to come,” he added.
