Mr Iyah, who made the promises while addressing party members, lamented that past and present administrations had failed to make direct impact on the lives of the people, which he noted needed to be corrected.
He advised the residents to remain peaceful before, during and after the elections, saying that there was the need to vote peacefully with the knowledge that politics was not a battle field or a do-or-die affair.
He said, “There is the need for all residents to be wise during this period of elections by ensuring that they vote in the right people that will not deceive them again for the next three years.
“This is the period to make things right so that we will not live with mistakes for another three years. The voters should look beyond party affiliation and vote for the right people that would deliver the dividends of democracy to them.”
