A former Commissioner for Works in Kogi State, Engr. Mohammed Ahovi Yusuf, has declared his intention to contest for the Adavi/Okehi Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 election into the House of Representatives.


Ahovi Yusuf made this known during his formal declaration and unveiling of his manifesto held on Saturday at LGEA Osisi Primary School Field in Kogi State.


Addressing members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and supporters at the event, Ahovi Yusuf said he would work closely with relevant stakeholders to deliver quality representation and attract development projects to Adavi/Okehi federal constituency.


He said his decision to seek election to the House of Representatives aimed at taking development closer to the people and consolidating the development efforts of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in the state especially within Adavi/Okehi federal constituency.


“I envision a constituency where the people have a stronger voice, where youths are empowered, women are supported and communities enjoy the dividends of democracy,” he said, adding that he would offer “not just promises but experience, commitment and a proven dedication to public service.”


Ahovi Yusuf pledged to prioritise road infrastructure, youth empowerment, education and economic opportunities if elected, stressing that his vision is to serve as a bridge between the people and the government while promoting the ideals of the APC with integrity.


The APC aspirant unveiled a people-focused manifesto centred on youth development, transparency and basic infrastructure. “Our youths are the backbone of our communities, they our future and we will not just train our youths; we will empower them to stand on their own,” he said, outlining plans for vocational training, ICT skills, and startup support for young people.


He also emphasized the need for improved access to clean water, describing the proposed revitalisation of the Osara Dam as a personal priority. 

“Provision of potable and clean water is not a privilege, it is the people’s right,” he stated.


On governance, Ahovi Yusuf promised open and accountable leadership. “This is your mandate, your voice will always be heard,” he assured constituents, pledging regular engagement and transparency in constituency projects.


He expressed confidence that his years of service in government had prepared him for effective representation of the constituency in the National Assembly.


Ahovi Yusuf previously served as Senior Special Assistant on Solid Minerals in the immediate past administration before his appointment as Commissioner for Works in the current administration, from he resigned from the cabinet in March to pursue his political ambition.


Stakeholders of Adavi/Okehi federal constituency endorsed and assured of their support for the aspirant in the 2027 general election.
