Hon. Blessing Agbomhere, has officially joined the race for the Etsako Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives after purchasing the required nomination and expression of interest forms this week.
Agbomhere’s move steers a formal step in his bid to represent the three Etsako West, Central and Etsako East Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections in Edo state.
Speaking shortly after purchasing the forms, Agbomhere said his decision was driven by a commitment to provide purposeful leadership and address longstanding developmental challenges in the constituency. He emphasized the need for effective representation that prioritizes the welfare of the people and attracts meaningful federal presence to the area.
According to him, his campaign will focus on youth empowerment, infrastructure development, economic opportunities, and improved access to federal programs across Etsako. Agbomere also pledged to run an robust campaign that reflects the aspirations of party structure.
Political observers note that his entry into the race is expected to intensify competition within the All Progressives Congress (APC), even as some aspirants have allegedly obtained the forms clandestinely without knowledge of the general public.
Agbomhere urged party members and constituents to support his ambition, assuring them of transparency, accountability, and a people-centered approach if elected into office.
The Etsako Federal Constituency remains a key political bloc in Edo State politics being home of Senator Adams Oshiomhole, and the upcoming contest is anticipated to attract significant attention as parties begin early mobilization ahead of the next election cycle.
