It is no longer news that Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi spoke last last at Abuja PUSDUNG 2022 organized by the Abuja chapter of the Ngas Development Association.
Perhaps what may be new is the ‘dust’ allegedly raised and certainly not controversy generated. That being said, there is need for the re-education of any who has taken it to ridiculous levels in order to make a political capital out of it.
They have accused him without let of being a front and all manners of despicable, derrogatory innuendos, just so to limit his estimation in the eyes of the good people of the state and beyond.
Seeing that they have been boxed and reduced in stature by the nature and character of Gagdi’s ascendancy, they are doing all they can to dim the star in him; yet, in his meekness he has concluded thus: ‘I leave everyone who speak bad against me with Almighty God. We will all appear before God and on the day of judgement and HE will judge’.
The question we have repeatedly ask is: For how long would they continue to wallow in self destruction, knowing that the man has continued to move like a train, clearing and laying foundation of good things in PKK?
Now we know better what they would have preferred: Get elected, go to Abuja, do nothing, but return empty after four years of the mandate. But Gagdi is a man on a mission, no matter the inhibitions and wedges placed in his path; and thank God, PKK has reaped bountifully. The proof of a genuine man are in the quality of the kind of things he does to people.
We have failed to understand why Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi has not been ‘arrested’ by now having been labeled as ‘thief’. They perhaps should let us know how much he has ‘stolen’ from either government or private tills.
He has said: “I am not a thief, I swear I am not! But few people that envy me and are politically uncomfortable with me are busy blackmailing me. But even if I steal, which I do not, it is better to steal and bring it back to your people”.
The All Progressives Party flag bearer of Plateau State, Dr. Nentawe Goshwe has remained a light and would have since parted ways with Gagdi if he was a bad politician, yet the tangent with which they both have touched and transformed lives are so nuanced, that they remain the best among others of what the state needs.
That God has anointed Dr Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe among others, particularly of Ngas extraction is indication that the party loves them. Today, there are proofs that there are others in the opposition PDP, who, because of the genuineness of what he will do in the state, they are ready to jump ship to honour Nentawe by voting for him in 2023.
To say that Gagdi is cantankerous, noisy, boisterous and arrogant is to miss the essence of the Dan Malikin Kanam. If speaking the truth without blinking is arrogance, pray, say when shall we expect such genuine men, who will stand out and speak for the causes of people?
We know that the election in 2023 for them is not a do or die affair; it will be won because if you check their trajectories, they are truthfully concerned about working to change Plateau State for good. The 2023 election will provide that lattitude for people like Nentawe and Gagdi among others.
It is in God we trust always!
