Micky Kazzim, the House of Representatives candidate under the platform of Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Abeokuta South Federal Constituency, has said that he was contesting on the strength of his achievements outside the national assembly and not promises.

The former lawmaker, who represented Abeokuta North/Odeda/Obafemi-Owode at the Green Chamber said he has facilitated more projects outside the national assembly than the incumbents.

Kazzim said none of the members of the House of Representatives in his former constituency, or that of his current constituency, can boost of projects delivered within four years of being outside the national assembly.

Hon. Kazzim stated this during an interactive session with newsmen in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

The former lawmaker said he has facilitated construction of 121 classrooms, completed and delivered for use in his former constituency of Abeokuta North/Odeda/Obafemi Owode.

He said further that 74 classrooms have also been constructed and handed over for use in Abeokuta South, his maternal constituency even when he has never represented the constituency.

He revealed further that he has donated three transformers as well as boreholes for the communities within the Abeokuta South.

While maintaining that he remained the best candidate to represent the constituency in the next general election, the graduate of Stirling University, United Kingdom, said he has continued to leverage on his experience at the 8th assembly to deliver projects outside the Assembly.

The aspiring lawmaker maintained that he would be putting his experience as a representative of three local governments in his former constituency to bear if elected to represent a single local government of Abeokuta South.

He added that his crossing to Abeokuta South is by popular interest cum homecoming to promote better legislation, more infrastructural growth, even development, equal distribution of wealth and youth engagement to his maternal background.

Hon. Kazzim, said more than 4,000 voters have transferred their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to Abeokuta South Local Government, after he had switched from his former constituency.

Kazzim said he had gone beyond playing politics for personal reasons but to make impact in the life of the people.

“I have gone beyond playing politics because of what you want to get, I want to have an impact.

“I have left Abeokuta North/Obafemi Owode/Odeda. To God be the glory, I crossed over to my maternal constituency, Abeokuta South, I have over 4, 000 that came with me, that transferred their PVCs from Abeokuta North to Abeokuta South because they want to vote for Micky Kazzim. Because they don’t want miss me, they don’t want to miss my performance.

“I am not in competition with anybody. I will be the best Representative people will get in the history of Abeokuta South,” he said. 

Hon. Micky explained that having noticed water problem is many areas of Abeokuta South, he facilitated the constructed and handed-over for usage, three (3) industrialized boreholes situated at different locations within the Constituency.

According to him, the projects were located at Iyana-Motuary area, just behind Sawmill by INEC office; Kuto, opposite the Kuto motor parks; and one at Ita-Faji in Ake area.

“At Oke Kuto, an industrial borehole of 10,000 liters was constructed, a borehole that a tanker can now come to and draw water to where the borehole can’t reach.

“I launched a programme last week, ‘Operation light-up Abeokuta South and environs’, go and look at Abeokuta South, by the time I am voted in as representative of Abeokuta, there will be more projects to come.

“I met with the CDC about three months ago and they told me about their challenges, how the power was coming from the national grid and they couldn’t utilise it because of transformer, you know what, I donated two transformers to Abeokuta South zonal CDC and they shared it immediately. One of the transformers went to Olorunsogo and the other to Oke-Aregba.

“I was on a radio programme and people were calling me that they have not seen light for over two years in Kugba, the third day I donated a 500/11KVA to Kugba.”

On youth empowerment and poverty alleviation, Hon. Kazzim said he distributed twenty-five (25) POS Kiosks to empower youths who are involve in the business.

“This is to prevent direct impact of the sunlight and provide a lockable facility useful not for POS withdrawal or payment businesses only, but also a shop for other petty trading activities.”

He therefore called on all voters in Abeokuta South Federal Constituency to elect him to represent the constituency at the National Assembly, on the platform of APM.
