He stated that his campaign would focus on improving the living standards of constituents through access to essential services and economic opportunities.
Makinde identified key priority areas to include:
- Improved access to education
- Better healthcare services
- Expanded economic opportunities
He said these areas would form the core of his legislative agenda if elected.
Makinde said his previous record in office would guide his approach to representation. He noted that his focus would be on delivering tangible outcomes that directly affect constituents.
He also emphasised the importance of effective representation in addressing local development needs within the constituency.
The former lawmaker confirmed his intention to run on the APC platform, aligning his bid with the ruling party’s political structure.
