A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abia State, Chief Sam Onuigbo, says his ambition to represent Abia Central Senatorial District in the Senate is driven by a desire to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s economic and political development.
Onuigbo made the declaration in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Wednesday, stating that he would leverage his legislative and administrative experience to deliver effective representation if elected.
The former member of the House of Representatives represented Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency, where he sponsored and championed the Climate Change Bill that was later signed into law.
According to him, his quest for a seat in the upper legislative chamber is not motivated by personal interest but by a commitment to serve and advance the development of his senatorial district and the nation.
“I say this with every sense of modesty, but most importantly to put it on record that the mandate I seek as senator is not for selfish aggrandisement.
“Rather, I feel elated that I am not only doubly qualified to serve our zone as senator, but also confident of bringing honour and accomplished representation,” he said.
Onuigbo added that his aspiration aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that he intends to bring his wealth of experience to bear in advancing policies that would benefit Nigerians.
“I am bold to say that my journey to the Nigerian Senate is to invest my rich experience and reflect hope as encapsulated in the Renewed Hope Agenda of our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
He stressed that Nigeria currently requires selfless leaders with the intellectual capacity to enact laws that would position the country competitively among nations of the world.
