The endorsed candidates include Comrade Osaro Ogieva, running for councillorship in Ward 9 Oredo Local Government, Edo State; Comrade Kenneth Adodo, contesting for Chairman in Uhunwode Local Government, Edo State; and Comrade Joshua Agbaja, vying for Councillor in Ward 1, Unit 59, Uvwie Local Government Council, Delta State.
Elvis emphasized that NANS fully supports these young leaders and will mobilize its members and communities to vote for them.
