The Labour Party in Nigeria is witnessing a transformative wave, powered by two remarkable women determined to rewrite the narrative of leadership.

Barrister Lawrenta Odegua Akue, representing Edo Central Senatorial District, and Mrs. Asemota Epelle Osayuki, contesting for Ovia North East/Ovia South West Constituency, have come into the political terrain with one shared mission, which is to serve their people and inspire change.

Despite their diverse journeys, both women represent the untapped potential of grassroots politics and the critical role of women in governance.

Their stories are tales of courage, vision, and an unwavering commitment to their constituencies.

Lawrenta Odegua Akue: Visionary for Edo Central
Barrister Lawrenta Odegua Akue’s journey is a testimony to resilience and excellence. Born in Uromi, Edo State, she grew up in a Catholic family that valued education and service.

From her early years excelling in academics to representing Nigeria in international law competitions, Lawrenta’s story is one of ambition and dedication.

A graduate of Ambrose Alli University and a practising lawyer with a flair for advocacy, Lawrenta has always been exceptional in all ramifications.

Whether mentoring students, serving as a community mobiliser, or leading in legal circles, she has proven that leadership is not just about titles but about impact.

Her campaign for Edo Central Senatorial District centres on practical, people-focused solutions.

Among her plans is the establishment of cassava milling factories in rural areas like Okhuesan, aimed at reducing production costs for farmers.

She also seeks to inspire young people through educational competitions, providing an accessible platform for talent and excellence. Transparency and accountability are cornerstones of her political philosophy.

By implementing an open-door policy and organizing regular town hall meetings, she hopes to bridge the gap between leaders and citizens.

With her slogan, “Together, we can transform Edo Central,” Lawrenta promises a future where every constituent feels empowered and heard.

Her campaign is not just a call for votes but a call for unity and collective progress.

Asemota Epelle Osayuki: Champion of Grassroots Change

In the heart of Ovia North East and Ovia South West Constituency, Mrs. Asemota Epelle Osayuki has earned a reputation as a grassroots leader with a deep passion for her community.

Her campaign reflects the everyday struggles of her people and offers practical and workable remedies to address them.

Asemota’s top priorities include healthcare, security, education, and agriculture. She envisions building standard healthcare centres to ease the pressure on state and private hospitals.

To combat rising mortality rates, she proposes a health insurance programme that covers all ages, particularly the elderly and vulnerable.

Her innovative approach to security includes installing solar-powered streetlights and equipping communities with modern security gadgets.

Additionally, Asemota seeks to transform the agricultural sector by empowering local farmers with resources and support systems that reduce production costs and boost productivity.

Her educational plans are equally ambitious.

By advocating for free education and launching scholarship programmes for hardworking students, she hopes to combat school dropouts and provide opportunities for the less privileged.

She also proposes a subsidized transport system to ease financial burdens for her constituents. “I am committed to building a constituency where no one is left behind,” she declares.

Her message resonates with the grassroots, emphasizing inclusivity, service, and sustainable development.
