Victoria Omua Amu, a female governorship aspirant representing the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming 2024 Edo State election, has revealed her comprehensive agenda aimed at improving the lives of the state’s residents if she is granted the mandate.
In a statement to the press on Monday in Abuja, the female aspirant expressed her concerns about the declining standards in various aspects of life, encompassing security, education, healthcare, and human capacity development. She emphasized the urgency of reversing this negative trend.
Amu asserted that if she successfully navigates the primaries and secures the APC’s nomination for the gubernatorial race, she is determined to win and apply her wealth of experience and dedication to rekindling the state’s former glory.
Her administration’s focus would center on revitalizing several key sectors, particularly education, security, infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, sports, art, culture, and tourism.
She articulated her approach as “Back to the Basics,” emphasizing avoiding extravagant projects that come with excessive initiation, completion, and maintenance costs, which often render such projects unsustainable.
Amu announced her intention to seek her party’s nomination for the position of Edo State Governor, characterizing this quest as a solemn commitment. She outlined plans for her government to design and implement a robust sports and cultural calendar, with the overarching goal of rejuvenating the state’s tourism industry. Her governing style is described as collaborative and centred on consensus-building.
In sum, Victoria Omua Amu’s vision for Edo State encompasses a return to fundamental principles in governance, where the core sectors of society are prioritized, and sustainable development takes precedence over grandiose and financially burdensome projects. Her candidacy seeks to usher in a new era of prosperity and progress for the people of Edo State.
