NGAS DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION ( NDA) AND THE FUTURE LEADERSHIP.
Written by Ngas Patriotic Youth Movement
It is without doubt that the Engr Gonen Gofwen led Executive of Ngas Development Association (NDA) have done it’s human best, towards advancing the course of Ngas Nation since 2018 when they ascended leadership.
As humans the leadership have committed some lapses which drew the err of it’s critics. Be this as it may. the curtain is drawing to the end of it’s tenure with the successful hosting of 2023 PUUSDUNG.
The next president is expected to come to Pankshin LGA.
As at this moment, the Nde Gonen Gofwen led executive is yet to set up the electoral committee to kick start the process.
So far speculations have it that 4 ( Four) Ngas son’s from Pankshin are speculated to have indicated interest.
They are Prof Noel Wannang, Nde Gabriel Gobel, Dr Danjuma Gokum and Nde Yakubu Gomos.
A brief ranking of the four is as follows:
1.PROF NOEL WANNANG.
STRENGTH ; Prof Noel N Wannang. is a very intelligent intellectual,Noel have very rich academic reach out. A very sharp pharmacy with intimidating resume. He is a lawyer. Noel has very rich outreach. He has positively Incurse in the areas of Tourism, Politics, Sports and Health.
WEAKNESS . Prof Wannang is into so many things that Time will not allow him to concentrate as a unifying symbol of leading Ngas Nation. Noel wants to be involved in anything leadership. This might create rift and lack of focus and commitment.
NDE GABRIEL GOBEL.
STRENGTH. Nde Gobel is a polished gentleman. Easy going and calm. He was one time Chairman, Ngas Development Association (NDA) Abuja.
Nde Gobel is very friendly and hardworking.
WEAKNESS. Nde Gobel will be too busy with his official responsibility that he will not have enough time to run a complex body like NDA. More so his urbanization attitude will not allow him ruffle into local issues bedevilling Ngas Nation.
DR DANJUMA GOKUM.
Gokum is the current National Secretary of (NDA). A grassroot personality. His experience as an official will breed continuity in NDA.
WEAKNESS. Gokum lacks exposure and bridging to harness the goodwill harvested by Gonen presidency. More so Dr Gokum will have pressure with his local community ,Wokkos cause when, as National Secretary, he insisted his wife should represent Wokkos District in the NDA women wing maiden national election. Some of his kinsmen/ women saw his action as selfish and greedy. This singular issue could hunt Dr Gokum.
Gokum is tying his presidential ambition on the ground that Wokkos have never produced the NDA presidency. Pundits fault this as NDA leadership have never been based on District consideration but at local government. More so Wokkos have produced 2( Two) deputy presidents and 2′(Two) national secretaries of NDA.
YAKUBU GOMOS. Nde Gomos is a sociable, friendly and warm personality. A good mixer. He has assisted many Ngas people towards securing employment in places he worked. Gomos has assisted in securing admissions to Ngas sons and daughters in his work place in the university.
He is credited to champion J D Gomwalk Annual lecture which attracted prominent Nigerians to Jos when he provided vibrant leadership to his professional outfit. Gomos as chairman, central planning committee PUUSDUNG 2015 raised funds for the expansion and building of the current NDA Secretariat.
WEAKNESS. This is Nde Gomos 3rd attempt for the NDA presidency. Some would wonder why the insistence? Others see this as a strong courage in serving his motherland.
Some pundits says Gomos camp dragged the then NDA Leadership to court. But there is no iota of Truth YAKUBU Gomos did not go to court. But rather, some personalities did just like how some personalities believes to be Engr Gonen supporters went to Court too.
To crown it all. Gomos, with the advice of well meaning Ngas Elders withdrew from the. NDA presidential race for Engr Gonen Gofwen . A rare fit. He played a key role (As Member, organizing committee) Ngas Nation Retreat in Kabwir, 2018 by the Gonen’s NDA.
………….
FOR NOW .This in our opinion is the current rankings of our presidential hopefuls.
Only Time will Tell. May God usher Ngas Nation with a leader of the people who will unite YIL NGAS and Build a resounding relationship with our Neighbours and Friends.
Wullengme Peter
