The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Dennis Idahosa, has stated that Nigeria need members of the National Assembly that are not “self-service, but yearns for positive change.”
The house of representative hopeful stated this while fielding questions from newsmen in Benin City.
He said it is the only way that the constant power-play between the executive and the NASS could be brought to the barest minimum, in addition to ensuring a harmonious working relationship between the two arms of Government.
He described as unfortunate, a situation where members of the NASS who were elected by their people to represent their common interest, but end up representing their personal interest.

The APC candidate noted that this situation have not only contributed to the non-development of their constituency, but have, in no small means, affected the overall development of the country in general.
He therefore appealed to the people to ensure that they did not only vote in credible candidates, but those with “strong character” that can attract positive development to their areas.
“It is time we (the people) to get it right by voting in people who Will truly represent us and not themselves and the only we can get it right is to “shine our eyes”
“When we have the right people at the NASS, we it will not only impact positively on us as a people, but the country will be better for it.
“We should understand by now that the constant fight that characterised the present NASS and the executive was because some persons were pushing for their personal interest.
“These fights disturbed the smooth flow of governance at the Federal level, as well as affected the positive development of their constituency,” he stated
