The time for selecting and have the right choice for our zone at the national assembly particularly the house of Representatives in 2019 has been weight, checked and varied.
In the course of selection for the best person appropriate to hold this great position in liberating us from greed of the past is being checkmated and our independent opinion poll conducted, the best interest swings to Hon. Wemi Jones, FCIB
The time for change is no other better time than NOW.
Politics, they say is a game but I am sure and convinced that not all politicians love making it a game apart from the greedy ones.
Wemi is the rightful candidate and choice of the people after we had made a wide consultations, findings and weighing all the contestants vying for this same position.
Unarguably, we have not seen much impact from the past representations at the national assembly due to their own selfish and personal interest. But Wemi Jones has the tenacity to surpass those before him when given the mandate to represent us come 2019 in Kabba Bunu/Ijumu federal constituency of Kogi State. He shall make all things right and ensure that we're not deprived of our constitutional rights.

- scholarship awards among Students in the constituents.
- Agric Loans to our farmers
- Renovation of schools in the local government council of the constituents
- Availability of medical facilities and outreach to the downtrodden
- Security operatives in all nooks and crannies of the constituents
- Building a state-of-the-art constituency office for meetings
- Civil centre is also one of his topmost agenda
