“Therefore, I promise to leverage on the experiences of the best hands in the Federal Constituecy to provide the desired representation in every sense of the word to my constituents if I’m given the opportunity.”
Unveiling his agenda which premised on qualitative, passionate, visible and result – oriented representation for the constituency, Turaki stressed that it has become necessary to pursue due to prevailing economic situation affecting communities.
He promised to achieve the agenda by developing ideas and courageous strategies that will have direct positive impact on the lives of the constituents.

He therefore, vowed to be visible, a good listener, discerning and active legislator who would contribute to the growth of the constituency and join other arms of government to bring unquantifiable benefits to his people.
The House of Representatives hopeful appealed to the Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituecy NNPP leaders, members and stakeholders to support his aspiration to be NNPP flagbearer in the 2023.
