“I sincerely thank the leadership of our great party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, for finding me worthy of this honour.

OmoBarca reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of his constituents, promising to champion policies and programmes that will improve the lives of ordinary people if elected.
He said his years of humanitarian activities were driven by a desire to uplift the less privileged, empower young people and create opportunities for sustainable development.
According to him, effective representation goes beyond lawmaking and must include accessibility, constant engagement and practical attention to the needs of constituents.
The NDC candidate pledged to focus on youth empowerment, education, healthcare, infrastructure development, job creation, economic growth and security.
He also urged members and supporters of the party to remain united and disciplined as preparations intensify for the 2027 general elections.
OmoBarca called on eligible voters in Ajeromi-Ifelodun to participate actively in the democratic process by registering, obtaining their Permanent Voter Cards and voting peacefully during the elections.
He appealed to political actors and supporters across party lines to conduct themselves peacefully, stressing that politics should be about service and development rather than hostility.
Over the years, OmoBarca has earned recognition for philanthropic activities across Ajeromi-Ifelodun, including support for indigent students, widows, vulnerable families, healthcare needs, youth empowerment and religious pilgrimage sponsorship.
Party stakeholders described his emergence as a strategic boost for the NDC in Lagos State, expressing confidence that his popularity and grassroots acceptance would strengthen the party’s chances in the constituency.
OmoBarca assured residents that he would remain accessible, accountable and responsive while working with community leaders, youth groups, women associations, religious organisations and other stakeholders.
