ABUJA_ The incumbent member of the House of Representatives representing Etsako Federal Constituency, Hon. Anamero Dekeri has officially obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination forms, signaling his intention to seek re-election in the forthcoming general elections.
The lawmaker, who is currently serving his first term in the National Assembly, completed the purchase of the forms amid growing political support within the constituency. His decision has been met with mixed reactions from constituents, with supporters praising his legislative records while others call for automatic return ticket.
Speaking shortly after obtaining the forms, the lawmaker expressed confidence in his chances, highlighting achievements recorded during his tenure within the last three years, including constituency development projects, legislative contributions and unprecedented empowerments to his constituents in Etsako, Edo state. Dekeri reaffirmed his commitment to delivering more dividends of democracy if given another mandate in 2027.
Party stakeholders in Etsako have also begun congratulating him ahead of the APC primaries, with political observers predicting a landslide victory in his favor.
This development marks a key step in the build-up to the elections, as aspirants such as chief Richard Lamai and Hon. Blessing Agbomere have also purchased their forms too earlier, signalling a competitive race within the APC primaries.
Stakeholders say Anamero’s performance and unparalleled representation should ordinarily earn him an automatic second term ticket avoiding consultation rigour. The idea is achievable if Anamero pushes further towards party leaders.
