The Allied People’s Movement (APM) House of Representatives candidate for Ekiti South-West, Ise/Orun and Ikere Federal Constituency, Sanya Atofarati, has promised to facilitate at least 100 federal employment opportunities for young people within his first year in office if elected.
Atofarati made the pledge during a campaign visit to Ilawe Ekiti on Monday, where he presented his plans for job creation, economic empowerment and improved representation ahead of the January 16, 2027 National Assembly election.
He said his proposed development agenda would go beyond the distribution of empowerment materials, focusing instead on sustainable opportunities that could improve household incomes and expand access to government programmes.
The APM candidate explained that he intended to use his position in the National Assembly to connect constituents with federal appointments, employment opportunities and relevant government initiatives.
He also promised to create more opportunities for professionals, artisans and young people across the constituency, insisting that effective representation should produce measurable improvements in people's lives.
“My ambition is to create a better future for young people through good representation, a clear development plan and policies that would improve people’s lives across the constituency,” he said.
Atofarati added that he would pursue empowerment programmes designed to deliver lasting economic benefits rather than rely on the conventional distribution of items such as clippers, sewing machines and farming equipment.
He appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support his ambition, promising leadership that would remain accessible and responsive to the needs of the people.
The candidate also urged constituents to support the APM presidential candidate, Seyi Makinde, saying Nigerians stood to benefit from his proposed RESET Agenda.
While appreciating party leaders, members and supporters for their participation in the campaign, Atofarati called for stronger grassroots mobilisation across Ekiti South-West, Ise/Orun and Ikere.
He expressed confidence that wider support for the party would help advance his proposed employment and development plans for the constituency.
