Why I Am Seeking to Represent Bende at the National Assembly — Chima Anyaso

Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso, popularly known as Ofuji, has officially declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Bende Federal Constituency under the platform of the Labour Party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a declaration message titled “It Is Time,” Anyaso said his decision to seek elective office was motivated by a long-standing commitment to public service and a desire to expand the scope of his contributions to the people of Bende.

The philanthropist and businessman noted that for more than two decades, he has dedicated his resources, time, and energy to initiatives aimed at improving the lives of residents across the constituency, despite never having occupied a political office.

According to him, his interventions have spanned education, healthcare, youth empowerment, community development, and support for vulnerable groups through various platforms, including the Ahuoma Anyaso Educational Foundation.

“For over two decades, I have invested my life, resources, and energy in the service of our people—not because I held any political office, but because I believe that leadership is first about service,” he stated.

Anyaso said his aspiration to represent Bende in the National Assembly is not driven by a quest for power but by a determination to provide stronger advocacy and effective representation for the constituency.

He pledged to be a strong voice for the people, facilitate opportunities for development, and champion policies and projects that would positively impact communities across the federal constituency.

The Labour Party candidate stressed that public office should be entrusted to individuals who have demonstrated character, competence, compassion, and a proven record of service to the people.

“The journey ahead is not about one man; it is about a collective dream for a better Bende. Together, we can build a future where our youths have opportunities, our communities have infrastructure, our women are empowered, and our people are proud of their representation,” he said.

Anyaso further emphasized the need for purposeful leadership and results-oriented representation, expressing confidence that the time had come for a new chapter in the political development of Bende Federal Constituency.

As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 elections, his declaration is expected to further shape discussions around the race for the House of Representatives seat in Bende.

Reiterating his vision for the constituency, Anyaso maintained that Bende deserves quality representation, purposeful leadership, tangible results, and a humble leader who understands the needs and aspirations of the people.
