The cost of living is high while inflation is also skyrocketing even though Nigeria is blessed with natural resources. A lot of countries don\u2019t have one-10th of what we have but they are living well due to proper planning while we are still battling to make things work for several years and we remain underdeveloped. So, I decided to put my hat in the ring to ensure that if Obi became the president, I would assist in making and supporting bills that would enable him to function well as one of his disciples. I believe that we need laws based on common sense to make things work. As an engineer, I believe that I have the capacity to do things that will positively impact the people of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/02\/27\/labour-party-clinches-edo-south-senatorial-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Oredo<\/a>.

I didn\u2019t conduct my campaign the way others did. I went to see the common man who the leaders had been using over the years. I told them that they could not collect money for their votes and still expect to get power. Collecting money means you sell your right to question the leaders when things are not going well in the country. My slogan during the campaign was: \u2018You either take power or money\u2019. I let them know that taking power means a better future for our children. If I wasn\u2019t a candidate, I would have been among the people at the forefront of campaigning against the old order.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esosa Iyawe, who won the Oredo Federal Constituency of Edo State in the House of Representatives in last Saturday&#8217;s National Assembly elections, said he had planned to relocate to another country before winning the election.
