Hon. Asawa who served as council chairman under the administration of the immediate past governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom, PhD was one of the best performing council chairmen during his reigns.
In his declaration statement, a copy which was obtained by Nigerian Concord Newspaper, the Frontline aspirant stated that his aspiration is built on a foundation of service and a profound understanding of the needs and challenges of his people.
The statement reads:
Declaration Of Interest To Contest For Kwande/Ushongo House of Representatives Seat 2027, Benue State
13th October, 2027
It is with a deep sense of honor and respect that I, Hon. Asawa Igbadue Joseph, humbly write to officially notify you of my intention to seek the House of Representatives seat for Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency in the 2027 elections.
My aspiration is built on a foundation of service and a profound understanding of the needs and challenges of our people.
Having understudied the politics of Kwande/Ushongo and practically participated in its administration as a Legislative Aid (2019) and later Executive Chairman of Ushongo Local Government Council (2020-2022), I have gained valuable insights into the multifarious problems confronting our people, particularly those living in rural areas.
I am confident that my experience and established virtues of rectitude and sincerity of purpose makes me an ideal candidate to address these challenges as a member of the lower chamber of the National Assembly if elected.
I believe that my candidacy is also favoured by the zoning arrangement, which I see as an opportunity to bring honour and respect to our people.
My quest to represent Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency is not driven by selfishness or greed but by a genuine intention to offer unreserved representation to the people.
During my tenure as Council Chairman, I was limited in my ability to give my best, but I am now eager to take on a higher mandate and make a more significant impact.
Having acquainted myself with the challenges of the grassroots, I am confident that I will be in a better position to address them if entrusted with the responsibility.
I kindly appeal for your support in my quest to win the Kwande/Ushongo House of Representatives ticket so that together, we can make Kwande/Ushongo a better place to live.
Accept the assurances of my highest regard.
Sincerely Yours,
HON. JOSEPH ASAWA
Executive Chairman,
Ushongo Local Govt. Area
(2020-2022)
