Lagos businesswoman, Remi Odunsi, has declared her intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat for Kosofe Federal Constituency in Lagos State under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Odunsi made the declaration in a statement issued in Lagos, where she said her decision was informed by her long standing involvement in community development activities.
She said the move was also driven by what she described as the need for stronger representation for the constituency at the National Assembly.
“I have been doing this work for years without holding public office. Imagine what becomes possible when someone with genuine passion for service and a heart for the people is elected into the National Assembly,” she said in the statement.
She added that effective representation would be key to driving development in the area.
“If we are to transform lives at scale in Kosofe Federal Constituency, we must have a seat at the table, particularly at the National Assembly, where laws are made and policies are shaped,” she said.
Odunsi, who has been involved in community-based interventions, said her interest in the race reflects what she described as a gap in leadership at the constituency level.
She outlined youth empowerment, women’s access to finance, healthcare and small business support as areas she would prioritise if elected.
She also said she would seek to support digital skills training for young people, improve access to credit for small businesses and strengthen healthcare delivery for women and children.
“Kosofe has the people, the commercial energy and the geographic position to be something remarkable,” she said. “What it has needed is representation that matches its potential.”
