Speaking on the occasion, the village head of Okada, Napoleon Imude, pointed out that they have resolved to endorse the APC candidate for the Ovia federal constituency, Dennis Idahosa.

According to him, the endorsement of Idahosa’s candidacy was because they needed a “strong voice” in the National Assembly.

Imude prayed for Idahosa to succeed at the polls, while warning the people against any act of betrayal in their resolve to support the APC.

According to him, “we have heard about you, Idahosa, for a long time. You are bringing something good. All Okada men and women should hear and we pray God will make you to win.”

Responding, Idahosa assured the Okada elders that the community would be developed if the APC emerged victorious at the polls.

NAN reports that Omosede Igbinedion, who is the serving lawmaker representing Ovia in the National Assembly, is an indigene of Okada.

Meanwhile, the APC candidate has told newsmen that the reasons for his endorsement were obviously for him to fulfill three things.

Idahosa said: “One of them is for me to be active in the House to be able to attract a lot of development to the Constituency. The second is to concentrate on human capital development and to be accessible to the electorate.
