The Edo State African Democratic Congress, ADC, House of Representatives aspirant of Orhionmwon and Uhunmwonde Federal Constituency, Comrade Edegbe Sunday, has called on residents of the State to actively engage their elected representatives as a way of ensuring good governance and democratic accountability. He also emphasized that democracy thrives only when the people remain vigilant and involved in how they are governed.
Speaking from his base in Kwara State, in a telephone interview with thenewsdesk.ng on Friday, October 24, the ADC aspirant Comrade Sunday stressed that the hallmark of democracy is not merely the conduct of elections but the sustained participation of the electorate in demanding transparency, equity, and justice from those they have elected to serve.
The House of Representatives hopeful noted that many of the challenges facing communities today — including poor infrastructure, inadequate health services, and youth unemployment — can be tackled more effectively when public office holders are constantly reminded of their mandate.
“Our democracy will grow stronger when the people raise their voices, not just during campaigns, but all through the period of governance,” Comrade Edegbe Sunday stated.
He concluded the brief interview by reaffirming his commitment to an open-door policy, promising that if elected in 2027, he would remain accessible and responsive to the needs of his constituents.
Comrade Sunday encouraged voters to use their votes wisely for ADC in 2027, reminding them that democracy is most effective when citizens are informed, engaged, and determined to hold leaders accountable.
