When the good people of Etsako Federal Constituency had to choose their representative in 2023, they made the best choice by electing Hon. Anamero Dekeri. His nomination and election were based on his impressive track record, capacity, and unmatched philanthropic efforts in Edo State. Legislators are primarily responsible for creating, amending, and passing laws. They propose bills, participate in committee hearings to refine legislation, and vote on bills during sessions. Over the past year, Hon. Anamero has consistently performed his legislative duties despite conspiracies and challenges. He has been a major sponsor of APC activities in Edo State.

Here are some highlights of his stewardship as the representative of Etsako in the National Assembly within one year in office:

• Donated a transformer to boost electricity in Warake Road, Auchi.
• Built and donated industrial boreholes to the Imionor community in Okpella.

Hon. Anamero Dekeri’s performance in the past year has outshone others despite conspiracies. He is the only representative who organizes constituency briefs to report back to the people who elected him, demonstrating integrity and commitment. Unlike others, he has not abandoned his constituency post-election, regularly visiting his people rather than relocating to Abuja.
