On the second day of the re-election bid tour of the last nine Federal Wards of Kanam, Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi got further reassurance of support for his ambition to return to the National Assembly.
The turnout of supporters at Gum, birth place of Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi was revealing as it put paid to whatever doubt there is of whether a prophet is withoutr honour with his people. They exhibited their love in the man they are well pleased in.
Gagdi did not display any sign of emotions, as he did the previous day at Gwamlar, assuring that, there are better ways to get the consent of the people, rather than hood winking them with promises of development.
GAGDI: THE WUS GAK PHENOMENON
Except for non-native speakers of Ngas, the mention of Wus Gak may not connote anything special. Now we know better and how the phrase has changed the mindset of people about Gagdi’s style of representation.
Despite being the native language of the Ngas, its usage has become a ‘national language’ of some sort, anywhere Gagdi is involved.
In areas visited which included Dugub, Gum-Gagdi, Kanam, Munbutbo, Garga, Birbyang, Kantana, Jom and Jarmai; despite arriving in some wards at night, the enthusiasm to receive Gagdi was palpably written on their faces and in the reception they accorded the entourage.
Several defectors from the opposition PDP were received into the fold of the All Progressives Congress in all the wards visited.
