A frontline aspirant for the Isoko North/Isoko South Federal Constituency seat, Sir Blessing Obomovo, has declared his intention to contest, unveiling a development-driven agenda focused on healthcare access, youth empowerment, and infrastructure improvement.
Obomovo, a real estate developer and chartered builder, said his ambition is rooted in a desire to provide effective representation and deliver tangible benefits to constituents.
He pledged to prioritize the establishment of a major, accessible hospital in the Isoko axis to address the challenge of limited healthcare services, which currently forces many residents to travel long distances for treatment.
Speaking with journalists on Thursday, he emphasized that no community member should be left without timely medical care, especially during emergencies.
He added that he would leverage partnerships and private-sector connections to attract investment into the health sector.
The aspirant also highlighted youth empowerment as a central pillar of his campaign, noting his track record of supporting young people through his private ventures.
According to him, equipping youths with opportunities fosters self-reliance and strengthens community development.
On infrastructure, Obomovo expressed concern over inconsistent electricity supply in parts of the constituency despite recent efforts to extend power infrastructure.
He assured constituents that improving electricity reliability would be a key legislative priority due to its impact on economic growth and living standards.
He further stressed the importance of strong and visible representation at the national level, arguing that effective advocacy is crucial for attracting federal projects and resources.
“I believe we can do better.
“With the right representation, we can bring meaningful development back home,” he said.
Obomovo, who previously contested in the 2019 State Assembly primaries, reaffirmed his commitment to public service, stating that his experience, grassroots connection, and professional background position him to deliver measurable progress if elected.
