The Senator representing the Edo South senatorial district, Senator Neda Imasuen, has cautioned his All Progressives Congress (APC) contenders to reject hate speech.
Senator Imasuen said the greatest victories of the APC in next year's general election would not be achieved through division, but through cooperation.
Imasuen spoke in Benin City, the Edo State capital, when he visited Edo South APC leaders to inform them of his desire to seek another term in office.
He said the present political season demanded unity and a bond of mutual love among all Edo people.
Senator Imasuen said he focused on his policy thrust of Local Economic Development through which he invested in people, in education, training and retraining, and in the strategic empowerment of Edo South youth and women.
He reeled out his achievements to include scholarships for students in the district, renovation and equipping of selected public schools, organisation of vocational and skill acquisition programmes in ICT, tailoring, welding, bag and shoe making, agriculture, and agro-processing.
Senator Imasuen said he facilitated the construction of the 3.5km Osasere Osayogie/Utekon Bypass link road with dual-sided drainage in Ovia North East LGA.
According to him, "We are lighting up Edo South. To date, we have installed solar-powered streetlights on over 50 streets and rural communities across the district.
"We have also distributed transformers to communities across Ovia North East, Orhionmwon, Ikpoba-Okha, Oredo and my dear Uhunmwode LGAs. Energy remains the engine of enterprise and decent living, and this intervention shall continue.
"We have retrained our people, especially the young, to make them competitive for the future. In healthcare, we have expanded access through sustained medical outreaches, providing thousands with free consultations, surgeries, and medications.
"We have installed solar-powered streetlights in over 40 communities, enhancing security and extending commercial life into the night.
"I am ready! Send me again to the Red Chamber to become a ranking Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to put me in a good position that I can serve our people better than I have done. Ranking will unlock unprecedented opportunities for you, my leaders, my stakeholders, and the entire Edo South."
