The Edo South Senatorial candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hon. Sunny Aguebor, popularly known as Bibi, has pledged to provide people-centred representation focused on service, empowerment, and inclusive development if elected in the 2027 National Assembly elections.
Aguebor made the commitment while receiving NDC chairmen from the seven local government areas and wards that make up the senatorial district. He expressed appreciation to party leaders and members for their support, which enabled him to secure the party’s ticket during the primaries.
He said a brighter future awaits Edo South, stressing that his political journey was about the hopes and aspirations of the people.
“This is not just about me; it is about the hopes and aspirations of our people. You are sending me on a journey that will be defined by commitment, courage, and results. I am inspired by this mission,” he said.
Aguebor, a businessman and founder of the Bibi brand, which includes interests in hospitality, petroleum products distribution, and real estate, said he would be an active voice for his constituents on the floor of the Senate.
He promised to pursue key constituency projects in areas such as healthcare, road rehabilitation, educational support, scholarships, and vocational training programmes aimed at reducing youth unemployment across Edo South.
On healthcare, Aguebor said he would promote legislative interventions and partnerships to support medical outreach programmes, improve access to essential services, and provide support for underserved communities within the district.
“My journey to the National Assembly will be about delivering honest representation focused on expanding economic opportunities, strengthening education, improving healthcare access, and ensuring that every community in Edo South feels the impact of responsive governance,” he said.
He assured constituents of continued accessibility, transparency, accountability, and a leadership style that puts the people first.
“I will continue to be your voice—strong, fearless, and committed to justice and fairness. Together, we will build an Edo South that works for all,” he added.
Aguebor thanked party members and supporters for their confidence in his capacity to represent them, saying their support was driven by a shared vision for the future.
“But for you all who said yes, I would not have taken this step towards the 2027 Edo South Senatorial election. You believe in my capacity. You know that I am not seeking your mandate to own a house, marry a wife, or buy a car. I am already comfortable. I thank you for understanding the depth of my purpose,” he said.
He added that their support represented more than political backing, describing it as a commitment to a shared vision and a collective journey towards victory for the people of Edo South.
