Mr Nassamu Abass Abdurasheed has emerged the consensus candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Etsako West State constituency II for the 2027 general elections.
Abdurasheed was unanimously adopted as the consensus candidate by the leadership of the party in Ward 5, South Ibie, Etsako West Local Government Area of Auchi.
The Ward had two aspirants, Inu Mavis and Abdurasheed, before the party’s leadership met to produce a single candidate for the elections.
Marvis commended leadership of the ADC in Ward 5 for the peaceful, transparent, and successful conduct of the consensus process that produced Abdurasheed.
He noted that the process reflected the spirit of unity, fairness, and internal democracy that has continued to strengthen the party.
“The leadership’s commitment to unity, democracy, fairness, and progress has once again proven that leadership is not about division, but about putting the collective interest of our people first.
“The decision reached through voting, which produced Abdurasheed as the ADC candidate for the Edo State House of Assembly, is not a personal victory for him alone. It is a victory for South Ibie, Uzairue, our youths, our women, our elders, the entire constituency, and everyone who believes in inclusive and purposeful leadership,” he stated.
Similarly, the Etsako West Constituency II ADC candidate commended the spirit of sportsmanship displayed by Marvis and solicited his support ahead of the election.
“I want to specially reassure my brother, Mavis, that this journey does not end with the consensus process. This mandate belongs to all of us.
“I deeply respect your vision, your passion, and your commitment to our people. By the grace of God, when elected in 2027, I will ensure that our collective ideas, strengths, and dreams are brought together to build a constituency that works for everyone, regardless of political differences.
“I remain committed to the promise I made, to always place the interest of the constituency above personal gain.
“The days of exclusion, neglect, and empty promises must give way to inclusive representation, people-oriented policies, and leadership that truly listens.
“To the ADC Local Government leadership, Ward and Polling Unit Executives, party faithfuls, supporters, and the entire electorate, I say thank you for your trust and confidence in me. Your support remains the fuel driving this movement,” he stated.
