Chief Oghene Egoh 1st non-indigene wins House of Reps seat in Lagos state.

Chief Oghne Egoh, the first non-indigene to win a federal constituency
seat in Lagos, on Tuesday expressed the desire to attract
infrastructure development to the state.
Oghene, who was announced member of the House of Representative elect,
Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency, Lagos State, on Monday, made the
promise in an interview.
Oghene polled a total of 29,761 votes to defeat the incumbent, Ganiyu
Olukolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 20,616
votes.
"In this particular constituency the biggest problem we have is the
decay of our infrastructure, there is no water, sewage system is bad,
and there are no playing grounds," he claimed.
Oghene promised to lobby ministers in charge of the ministries
responsible for such facilities for an improved infrastructure in his
constituency.
Egoh expressed the hope that his party would win the governorship
election in the state, saying its wining would further bring more
development to his constituency.
Oghene expressed happiness that the PDP's governorship candidate in
the state took part in his campaign and understood the challenges in
his constituency.
To him, their combination as governor and Member House of
Representative would greatly satisfy the desire of his people.
My victory as member of House of Representative elect was very
significant being a non-indigene to have won the seat for the first
time in Amuwo Odofin, Federal Constituency.
"Again this is the first time the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won
in Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency," he said.
Egoh, however, linked his success to hard work, focus and the
experience of being a politician having served two terms as
councillor, both in Amuwo Odofin and Ojo Local Government Areas.
Senior legislators will see the quality in me and my constituency will
feel the impact," he declared.
Oghene gave glory to God and thanked the people of Amuwo Odofin whom,
he said, had confidence and trust in him.
Member elect who hails from Delta said his house to house campaign had
indeed paid him, saying he had been working for the election in the
past two years. (NAN)
