Manifesto of Ogbeide Ifaluyi-Isibor

Candidate for the House of Representatives Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency, Edo State.

A Promise/Commitment To My People

My dear brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, and youths of Egor and Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency,

Like i have often said, this is more than a political journey for me, it is a calling. I have prepared for this opportunity to serve for many years and I am here to make a great difference and not just to be elected.

I put this manifesto together, not to fulfill all righteousness but to put on paper, my commitment to my constituents that they may hold me accountable.

Like you all can agree, I believe that our constituency deserves alot more; more opportunities, more development, and more honest and genuine leadership.

I will not make bogus promises that sound good but are unachievable. I will make commitments with measurably timeliness.

I will amplify the voices of my constituents and build strong hope and trust in political leadership because i am committed to producing results that will improve the lots of my people especially the youths.

Our Shared Dream

A constituency where:
The hard work of constituents are acknowledged and rewarded with opportunity.

Our youths will be energized with hope and will no longer wander without direction. Together, we will build a pathway to their economic survival by providing opportunities for their financial independence.

Our mothers and fathers will have their concerns addressed, they will be heard and included in welfare and healthcare programs, and will make up the constituency advisory council.

No community will be left behind. No voice left unheard.

My agenda will encompass several key areas, including but not limited to;

1. Promoting Self Sustainance and Improving Economic Power

Our people are hardworking and they need more opportunities.

I will be committed to;

Empowering small businesses, traders, and artisans with grants, access to funding and training on how to prosper their businesses using technology.

Create pathways for youth employment and empowerment through partnerships, collaboration and innovation. There are several stakeholders in this business with whom I have developed a great relationship and I plan to bring them actively into this conversation to help prosper our constituents.

Support agriculture and local enterprise.  While farming is still a major source of earning in some communities, we will improve our agriculture with better training and skilling with the provision of improved farm machinery to improve productivity. I will not empower farmers with cutlass and hoes but we will collaborate and provide professional support using technology to improve farm yield.

2. Encouraging Education and a Digital Future

Our children deserve a future that is brighter than our past.

I will collaborate and support the improvement of learning conditions in our schools.

I will provide scholarships and educational support to indigent children as much as possible. We will build classroom blocks and equip classes with the required furniture and this will be done to the best of my ability. Raised by a teacher, I understand the value of education and I will fight for decent education in my constituency.

I will establish digital and vocational training centers in Egor and Ikpoba Okha LGAs. Each local government will have a mini tech hub for those interested in technology and for those who want to learn hand skills, we will have a vocational training center in each local government.

I believe an educated child today is a stronger community tomorrow.

3. Infrastructure That Works

Development must be seen and felt.

While it primarily behooves the executive to build roads, I will advocate for quality roads and infrastructure to be built in my constituency.  Where achievable, i will lobby with partners in the Federal Ministry of Works as well as the State Ministry of Works to assist with durable road construction and rehabilitation in my constituency. Politics will take the back seat and the needs of the people will be at the front burner.

I will contribute to the provision of reliable electricity and engage with stakeholders to assist in the provision of transformers where needed and the availability of alternative power supply. One major worry around communities in my constituency is absence of transformers or presence of dilapidated/useless ones. I will fight to purchase and install transformers to the best of my ability.

I will ensure constituency projects are started and completed in every ward in my constituency, no project will be abandoned. Every ward in my constituency will have at least one constituency project.

No abandoned projects. No more forgotten communities.

4. Support Healthcare With Compassion

Available and affordable healthcare is a need for any people and should be guaranteed.

I will contribute actively to the strengthening of our primary healthcare centers.

I will organize free medical outreach programs every quarter across the federal constitution. I have done this to the best of my ability as a private individual and I will multiple the effort as a public servant.

I will contribute to improved access to healthcare and better healthcare delivery by donating  hospital supplies and medication to primary healthcare centers across the federal constitution.  I will make available  regular donations to primary healthcare centers and have them cater for pregnant women in dire need of support.

5. Youth & Women: The Heart Of Our Future

Our future depends on how we empower our people today.

I will support women-led businesses and initiatives. I will encourage, fund and improve digital access for women and train/equip 100 women every quarter with digital skills.

I will provide platforms for youth innovation and leadership, invest in skills that create independence, productivity, and self-sustainance.

I will have quarterly youth empowerment programs. We will not just facilitate employment in Federal Ministries, departments and agencies, but build entrepreneurs from amongst our youths to make them job creators.

When our youth rise, our constituency rises.

My Legislative Mission

In the House of Representatives, you can rest assured that I will not be silent. I will speak up and speak out for Nigerians especially members of my constituency.

I will sponsor impactful bills that will create jobs, prosper our economy and protect our people and improve the gross happiness index of all Nigerians.

I will fight for policies that bring sustained development to our constituency.

I will hold the government accountable without fear or compromise. I will be firm and steadfast in holding true to my oaths and make sure that all positions I will take and vote for won’t be about self but the collective benefits of all.

I will perform oversight functions as required and make sure that the resources of the people are effectively channeled to their priorities, that it may bring them the greatest benefits.

Taxpayers monies should benefit taxpayers first.

Your voice through me will not just be heard, it will be felt.

Leadership That Stays With You

I will not disappear after elections or become an Abuja representative. I will do the job I was elected to do but will still live amongst my constituents.

I will hold regular town hall meetings in both local governments to listen to your concerns and also give report of my stewardship.

I will sustain communication channels with the people. The way constituents can communicate with me on social media today will remain so. I honestly will not be able to answer all calls or respond to all messages but you will have my ears and attention to the best of my ability.

I will provide transparent updates on every project I facilitate and decisions reached by the National Assembly that my constituents needs clarification or explanation, I will ALWAYS do justice to that.

I will have two (2) main constituency offices, but all twenty (20) ward secretariats will be mini constituency offices, and I will have representatives in every ward to attend to constituents who may not be able to get to local government constituency offices.

Representation is not a title, it is a responsibility.

The Good Kind of Politics

I believe in decent politics birthed on hygiene and service to the people.

I believe in leadership built on integrity, commitment, and results.

No deception.
No excuses.
No abandonment.

Clean politics. Clear vision. Real results for the people. This will be my stand.

Final Word: Our Moment Has Come

This is our time to rise, to rebuild, and to better our future.

As you stand with me through the campaigns, you will stand with me as i represent your interests in the National Assembly and fight for our better tomorrow.

This journey belongs to all of us.
Stand with me. Walk with me. Believe in me.
Together, we will turn hope into action and action into results.

I have you; the people, and that will be enough to make Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency the example that others will copy from.

God bless you!

Ogbeide Ifaluyi-isibor
