The lawmaker representing Egbeda/Ona Ara federal constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Akin Alabi has empowered 500 business owners in his constituency.
Alabi at the empowerment programme also drummed support for the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He noted that Tinubu is the only messiah who can rescue the country.
He said: “Nigerians must put away all bias and sentiments making rounds about APC presidential candidate as he remains the best among all the candidates, putting into consideration his capacity, audacity and network, large enough to bring a positive turn around to Nigeria.
“Before you can build bridges across the federation both North and the South, you need someone with the capacity, sagacity, and network of Tinubu
“The issue in Nigeria is not cosmetic but a systemic one, which needs a systemic approach, and the failure of the system remains the main problem, hence, the need for a change of constitution.
Alabi explained that: “The constitutional change process as clamored for goes beyond the National Assembly and it is not something anybody can do because it’s a very tedious process from NASS to all the various state houses of assembly across the federation, it’s not like an electoral act that can be done at the National Assembly, the constitution has to go to all the various houses of assemblies.
At the special empowerment program where 500 beneficiaries got 50,000 naira as support fund, Alabi disclosed that this month’s edition was different, having responded to the request and clamor of his constituents who called for the inclusion of male gender in the empowerment scheme.
He, however, promised not relent in spreading the dividend of democracy among his constituents and the delivery of his service to humanity.
