“I want to partake in making quality laws that will impact in the lives of our people. They are predominantly farmers and apart from one ward which is Olomoro, all the other wards in my constituency are rural in designation. It is only Olomoro that is urban area. The activities in that area is oil exploration and exploitation and farming, I will want to make laws that will stimulate our agricultural activities in that constituency, making good laws for our people so that the impact of government will be better felt”.
