Prince Nixon Okwara Presents Highlights Of Pact With People Of Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency 2
CYRIACUS IZUEKWE
All Progressives Congress House of Representatives aspirant, Prince Nixon Okwara, has presented highlights of his commitment to the people of Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency 2 in Lagos State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Prince Okwara first described the people of Oshodi/Isolo, Federal Constituency 2 as one of Nigeria’s most detribalized communities, founded on equity and justice. He called it home — the place where he got married to his wife, raised his children, and has lived in liberty, embraced by the host community across all tribes, tongues, and religions.
Secondly, Nixon stated that he has lived among the people of Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency II for over three decades. He said he understands their peculiarities, strengths, and challenges, and has led advocacies for unity, peace, and development through town halls, stakeholder engagements, and community assemblies.
He equally recalled how the community rose from a wetland to a thriving hub producing leaders, entrepreneurs, and billionaires. He credited its diversity as its strength and praised the exemplary leadership among host communities in Lagos.
His journey, Nixon said, has been one of necessity, discipline, and innovation. From his early years as a young graduate in Okota to real estate ventures, he has partnered with government agencies and cultural and religious leaders to foster harmony among all ethnic nationalities.
Prince Okwara said that those partnerships produced results. In Isolo LCDA, non-indigenes were elected as councillors in three of seven wards, with some appointed supervisors — a gesture he called remarkable in Nigeria’s political history. Advocacy also helped deliver major projects like the Ago-Okota–Apple Junction Road under Governors Fashola and Ambode.
The frontline APC aspirant noted the transformation of Greenfield from wetland to a top Lagos estate, recognized by Governor Fashola in 2014. Similar impact reached Startimes, Victory, and other estates, where stakeholder partnership protected families from demolitions and ensured property regularization.
Since 2011, Okwara has supported many candidates financially and otherwise for the collective good. Yet he lamented that after elections, leaders abandon the constituency. Federal representation is “muted, almost non-existent,” palliatives do not reach citizens, and Federal opportunities are poorly communicated.
He pointed to the broken bridge between policy and the people as unacceptable. Government creates programmes, but constituents in Oshodi/Isolo rarely benefit because information stops at the top. The disconnect has bred apathy and distrust in governance.
The failure at that point is one of the reasons he is offering himself to serve — not out of ambition, but conviction. He said Oshodi/Isolo deserves better, and that he has the experience, relationships, and courage to deliver as someone who has been part of the community’s growth story.
His pact, he said, begins with accessible representation: he will come to the people through town halls, digital platforms, and community networks. He pledged transparent delivery of Federal interventions using technology to track palliatives and ensure fairness and accountability.
Prince Okwara promises to connect constituents to Federal programmes under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — youth empowerment, MSME funding, student loans, social investments, and infrastructure. He said he wants every eligible resident to know what is available and how to access it.
On flooding, a major local problem, he outlined engineering-backed drainage, canal dredging, and partnerships with NEWMAP, WACA, and World Bank-backed climate resilience projects. He insists the solution must be hydrological studies and structured canal management, not temporary fixes.
Empowerment, he says, will go beyond “rice and short-term relief”. He plans to equip youths with globally recognized tech and vocational skills, partner with international certification bodies, and elevate artisans and service providers through policies that dignify their work.
Prince Nixon emphasized inclusion as the foundation of his leadership style. His track record shows collaboration with Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic groups. He believes Oshodi/Isolo’s model of peaceful co-existence should be protected and replicated across Nigeria.
Okwara closed with a call to action, contesting under the APC and urging participation at the primaries, not just the general election. “Politics is very interested in us,” he warns. The future, he says, will not happen by chance but by choice.
Together, he said, Oshodi/Isolo can restore trust in leadership and become a model constituency.
“I am Prince Nixon Okwara. I have come to serve… to make a difference… to build a better future
