With Experience, Grassroots Connection and a Vision for Development, APC Candidate Sets Sights on 2027
As the 2027 general elections approach, political conversations across Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben Federal Constituency are increasingly centred on the need for purposeful leadership, effective representation and a renewed commitment to the development of Esan land. Among those positioning themselves to provide such leadership is Sir Lucky Eseigbe, Esq., the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the federal constituency in the forthcoming House of Representatives election.
A legal practitioner, seasoned public administrator and politician, Eseigbe represents a political aspiration built around experience in public service, institutional administration and grassroots engagement. His previous appointments as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and Director-General of the Edo State Public Building and Maintenance Agency have given him exposure to the workings of government and the responsibilities associated with public leadership.
His emergence as the APC candidate following the party's primary election on May 16, 2026, marked a significant step in his political journey and the beginning of a broader effort to secure the confidence and mandate of the people across the three local government areas.
Since his emergence, Eseigbe has sustained engagements with community leaders, stakeholders, youth groups, women and residents through consultations, community visits and needs-assessment exercises. These interactions provide an opportunity to understand the peculiar challenges confronting different communities and identify priorities that require attention at the federal level.
For a constituency as historically significant and strategically important as Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben, the demand for effective representation goes beyond political promises. The people deserve a representative who can speak confidently on their behalf, attract development opportunities, pursue meaningful legislative interventions and maintain regular communication with constituents.
Key areas requiring sustained attention include road infrastructure, educational development, accessible healthcare, agricultural transformation, youth employment, skills acquisition, security and the creation of economic opportunities for local businesses and entrepreneurs.
Importantly, representation at the National Assembly is not limited to lawmaking. It also involves effective oversight of government programmes, strategic engagement with federal ministries and agencies, constituency advocacy and the facilitation of projects capable of improving the living conditions of ordinary citizens.
This is where Eseigbe's experience in public administration becomes an important part of his political proposition. His supporters believe that his understanding of government operations, combined with his legal background and political exposure, provides a useful foundation for the responsibility he seeks.
Beyond political calculations, the 2027 contest presents an opportunity for the people of Esan land to critically assess the character, competence, accessibility and development vision of those seeking to represent them. The ultimate expectation is a representative whose influence will be felt not only within the chambers of the National Assembly but also in the communities that entrusted him with their mandate.
Eseigbe's growing political profile has attracted support from individuals and groups who identify with his aspiration and believe in his capacity to contribute to the development of the constituency. For his supporters, his candidacy represents an opportunity to bring experience, purposeful engagement and a renewed sense of direction to federal representation.
As the political journey towards 2027 gathers momentum, Sir Lucky Eseigbe faces the task of converting political goodwill into a broad-based mandate supported by a clear vision, credible commitments and an enduring relationship with the people.
For Esan Central, Esan West and Igueben, the conversation should ultimately be about the future: better opportunities for young people, stronger communities, improved infrastructure, inclusive development and representation that delivers value.
The sun of a new political possibility is rising over Esan land, and the 2027 election will provide the people with an opportunity to determine the direction of their collective future.
