Legal practitioner, Blessing Agbomhere has formally declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Etsako Federal Constituency in Edo State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to a statement issued by the Blessing Support Organizations (BSO), the declaration, held at Auchi Public Field in Etsako West Local Government Area, marks what it described as the beginning of a new phase of leadership anchored on purposeful governance, renewed hope, and strategic development for the constituency.

The group portrayed Agbomhere as a committed party loyalist, grassroots mobiliser, and advocate for youth inclusion, noting that his political engagement and service have earned him widespread support across Etsako.

It added that his professional background as a lawyer and strategist positions him to deliver effective representation at the National Assembly, with a focus on inclusive development, economic empowerment, infrastructure renewal, improved security, and expanded access to federal opportunities.

“As a lawyer, communicator, strategist, and passionate patriot, he possesses the experience, intellect, courage, and energy required to provide impactful representation,” the statement noted.

The organisation stressed that Etsako requires responsive leadership that understands the peculiar challenges of its communities and is capable of advancing practical solutions.

It therefore called on party stakeholders, youths, women groups, market associations, professionals, and community leaders across Etsako East, Etsako West, and Etsako Central to support the aspiration.

“This movement is bigger than politics. It is about restoring confidence in leadership, empowering our people, and securing a brighter future for the next generation,” the statement added.

Top APC figures and party stalwarts in the state were said to be in attendance at the declaration event.

The group expressed confidence that with broad-based support, Agbomhere would emerge victorious and provide effective, people-oriented representation for the constituency.
