I am not here to warm a seat. I am here because AMAC is broken, and together, we must fix it,\u201d he said to thunderous applause.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul\u2019s emergence followed weeks of consultations across the council\u2019s wards\u2014from Karu to Kabusa, Jikwoyi to Garki\u2014as he positioned himself as a voice for the underserved and a symbol of community-first leadership.<\/p>\n<p>In his acceptance speech titled \u201cThe Mandate of the People, The Moment for Change,\u201d he took aim at years of poor governance, lamenting the collapse of public services, including schools, health centres, and markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wait is over. This is not just another campaign. This is a movement of conscience, a mission of hope, and a moment of truth for AMAC,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>He pledged sweeping reforms aimed at restoring dignity and service delivery to residents, with a focus on:<\/p>\n<p>Fully functional public primary schools, skill acquisition hubs in every ward, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul also called on young people, women, and elders across AMAC to take ownership of the political process, urging them to register, organize, vote, and defend their votes.<\/p>\n<p>To his opponents, he offered a challenge of ideas over insults: \u201cLet\u2019s debate policies, not spread fear. Let the people decide freely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain neutral and called on civil society and media to closely monitor the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not politics as usual. This is a referendum on neglect. And come election day, we will answer loud and clear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Paul thanked the ADC leadership for their support and reaffirmed his commitment to a leadership style rooted in service, transparency, and people-driven development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet it be said that AMAC has risen\u2014not because of one man, but because the people chose to believe again,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
