“Today, my heart overflows with profound gratitude, humility, and an overwhelming sense of responsibility. With the conclusion of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary elections, I stand before you as your official candidate for the Edo State House of Assembly to represent our beloved Egor Constituency.
“This victory does not belong to me alone. It belongs to every delegate who stood in the sun to cast their vote, every party faithful who kept the faith, and every constituent who believes that Egor deserves nothing less than impactful, visionary representation. You have spoken clearly, and your voices have given me the mandate to carry our shared vision forward.
“To our party leadership, stakeholders, and my tireless campaign team: thank you for your unwavering dedication, your strategic brilliance, and your fierce loyalty to this cause. We set out to prove that politics can be about real people and real progress, and today, we proved it together.
“Securing this ticket is a magnificent milestone, but it is not the final destination. It is the starting gun for the real work ahead.”
“While we celebrate this milestone, we must remember that the primaries are only the first step. The true mountain is still ahead of us. The general election demands our collective strength, our undivided unity, and an even greater measure of hard work.
“I am calling on every member of our party, including those who contested alongside me in this primary, to join hands with me. We are one big family, and our strength lies in our unity.
“Let us hit the ground running immediately. I look forward to working side-by-side with each of you, mobilizing every ward, listening to every community, and taking our message of grassroots transformation and true empowerment to every doorstep in Egor. Together, as an unstoppable team, we will build a campaign that resonates across Edo State and secures a resounding, landslide victory at the general elections.
“Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your votes.
Let’s go out there and win the ultimate victory for Egor!
“Hon. Natasha Osawaru Idibia
NDC Candidate, Edo State House of Assembly (Egor Constituency)”
Osawaru recently joined the NDC after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
She was received into the party at its Abuja headquarters alongside former Gombe State deputy governor John Yoriyo and other political figures by the party’s national leader, Seriake Dickson.
The lawmaker has also publicly declared support for former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, sharing a photograph with him and urging Nigerians to support his political ambition ahead of the 2027 elections.
