GAGDI DONATES #40 MILLION FOR APC BY-ELECTIONS IN PLATEAU STATE
The February 26, 2022 scheduled by-elections for the vacant seats of Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency and Pankshin South State Constituency are, by every political permutations, a litmus test to survival of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the ruling party in Plateau State beyond 2023.
To emerge victorious at the polls, the ruling party must stockpile its arsenals for the showdown, beyond the rhetorics of the mere availability of government machineries to work in its favour. It was in the light of the foregoing that the APC in Plateau State organized a fund raising dinner to garner support for her candidates in the by-elections.
The member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi was fully on ground to lend his support with the donation of a whooping sum of #40 million, indicating #20 million each, to the two candidates.
He calls on the electorate of Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency and Pankshin South State Constituency to come out in droves next Saturday to vote Hon. Abbey Aku and Ezra Dakup, both of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the respective positions.
He pledged to personally embark on campaign tour of all the electoral wards in Pankshin South Constituency on Thursday, 24th February, 2022; after which he will round off the tour with the presentation of six cars and 20 motorcycles to some party faithful from Pankshin and Kanke LGAs; just like he did in Kanam LGA sometime ago.
The lawmaker expressed disappointment with the lack of physical presence of all the Plateau State APC gubernatorial hopefuls at the event, and also lamented the thrifty attitude of some APC political office holders, which has grossly affected the growth of the party in Plateau State, almost seven years after clinching power.
Gagdi charged his fellow party members who are holding various positions courtesy of the party, to cultivate the attitude of sharing the gains of their offices with the electorate, as only in doing so would they lure people to support the APC, especially now that times are hard.
According to the lawmaker, “the governor cannot be everywhere at the same time to assist the citizens meet their petty needs, that is why he appointed people from every part of the state into different positions; and the least such appointees can do is to share part of their earnings with the people around them, especially those in need. That is another way of making people feel the impact of the government”.
Rt Hon. Gagdi was earlier at the Mupun Youth Connect, a yearly gathering of Mupun Youth in Jos, where he made a donation of #1.2 million to the Mupun Youth.
