*SERIES NO. THREE

WHAT GAGDI IS AND IS NOT.

The hausa adage says “alkawari kaya ne” This is a very difficult task for humans when it is made and to be fulfilled.
Gagdi made promised to pay NECO, WAEC and NABTEB examinations to all private, public and missionary schools last year and promised to donate motorcycles to all APC party chairmen and secretaries of PKK when people thought they were delegates and wanted to be bribed.

People started saying he will not pay the fees and give the motorcycles

He paid the fees and donated the motorcycles this year even when the officials are not delegates as people thought it was intended as a bribe.


WHAT GAGDI IS; Is a promised keeper and keeps to his words.

WHAT GAGDI IS NOT is to give you something with a right hand and take it back with a left hand.

#SERIES NO. TWO

WHAT GAGDI IS AND IS NOT.

This anonymous fellow captured succinctly What Gagdi is on today’s series.

“The member representing the good people of Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam in the green chamber of the national assembly has done his best, just within two to three years, he had shown a remarkable landmark with his bills and three of them assented by the president.
The police and the Federal University of Education Pankshin Act alone will or had created millions of employment opportunities unprecedented.
Besides that, his empowerment program is none to compare to since 1999.
This is a member that I know had defeated ethnoreligious egocentrism that our polity was consumed in it and had offered a new leaf to open representation.
He had showcased a wonderful all-inclusive leadership role devoid of selective gender, ethnic and religious alliances to be fair to everyone.
This kind of display of governance and leadership deserved continuity”

And

What Gagdi is not; Is
to treat someone based on his tribe, religion or gender.

RT HON YUSUF ADAMU GAGDI: REDEFINING THE ROAD TO THE FUTURE

One of the things that happened this week was the congratulations Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi together with the standard bearer for the Plateau APC governorship, Dr Nentawe Yilwada Goshwe received.

It came from the Hon Dr. Dayyabu Yusuf Garga, Walin Garga, Galadiman Jhar, Executive Chairman, Kanam Local Government Council. It is instructive as it is revealing with positive implications to many.

If you have followed political developments in the state, but particularly Kanam, one would have observed the sharp political divide and camps that had existed in the area.

No need to be reminded, during the primaries for the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency, the hard stance that was palpable in Kanam or Kanke and indeed, Pankshin was easily dissolved, thanks to the resolve to get united behind Gagdi.

You may also recall that the invectives and the animosity became common place towards Rt Hon Yusuf. However, as one who knows his onions well and appreciate people in great measure, he went about doing good. He is still doing good.

Truth is, he has never chosen or given priority to one community above another. Where a need is identified, he deployed resources, men and materials for such to be solved.

For the good of PKK, Plateau and Nigeria, old cleavages should not be left to remain with us. The fact that they draw us back, they are clearly inhibitions to development and unity.

PKK has moved forward, thanks to the seed of unity that has been sown. This only continue in 2023 because It is in God We Trust.

OWO MASACRE: NORTHERN GOVERNORS INFURIATED

The Northern Governors Forum says it is infuriated over the attack on worshippers at the St. Francis Catholic Church Owo, Ondo State which left many dead and others injured.

Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State Simon Bako Lalong said the Forum totally condemns the unprovoked attack on the Church and its worshippers which is a clear attempt by criminals to instigate religious hatred and inflame passions among Nigerians.

While commiserating with the survivors, families of victims, the Catholic Church and the Christian body in Nigeria, Lalong said the Northern Governors want security agencies to do all that is possible to apprehend those behind the sacrilege, their sponsors and collaborators.

This he said will not only ensure that justice is served, but ensure a clear message is also sent to criminals who are bent on causing chaos in the country.

He also said the Northern Governors are in solidarity with their colleague Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and the Government of Ondo State, assuring of their prayers and support at this very sober moment.

APC NORTHERN GOVERNORS AFFIRM ZONING OF PRESIDENCY TO SOUTH
Against the backdrop of anointing the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan, as the consensus presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, to be adopted during the presidential primaries, most governors of the party, affirmed that the leaked agreed rotation of the Presidency to the Southern Zone of the country, remains unchanged.
Addressing press conference this evening shortly after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum, who also is Plateau State Governor, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong, said the President has accepted their proposal of power rotation to the South.
According to him, the governors apologized for officially telling him of their proposal after it was leaked to the public. And that the President has accepted their submission with the admonishment that democratic process must be followed in the election of the presidential candidate, saying he has no anointed candidate.
Lalong further started that the Progressive Governors will soon go in for a closed door meeting after which the outcome will be made public.

Breaking: Gunmen kill 50 in Ondo Catholic Church

Gunmen on Sunday attacked the St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, killing no fewer than 50 worshippers.

According to eyewitnesses, the attack occurred in the morning during the church’s Sunday service.

They also said that the gunmen stormed the church during service and started shooting sporadically., and detonated explosives inside the church premises.

The stray bullets of the terrorists also killed passerby who were hit by their bullets.

The injured and the dead were rushed to the Federal Medical Centre Owo, for medical attention.

Confirming the incident, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of FMC, Owo, Dr Liasu Adeagbo, told newsmen that the hospital had deployed medical personnel to cater for the victims.

It was learned that the hospital’s medical personnel on ground at the emergency unit were overwhelmed by the large number of victims, hence many of them were referred to private hospitals for treatment.

The police command in Ondo had yet to officially react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.

GAGDI: THE VOTING THAT CHANGED OLD CLEAVAGES

The expectations on May 27, 2022 during the primaries of the Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency was massive, even as many had expected.

Candidly speaking, there were fears of the unknown. But in the Gagdi camp, the dice had been cast, and it was a matter of time before the delegates gave him victory.

Take a look at the pattern of the voting local government after another and the outcome, it clearly shows an acceptable conclusion.

Delegates accredited 180, only 179 voted. Only one abstention!

Of this number Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi took a total of 171. Let’s consider the scenario:

If your ward returns home with a score card of 95% among his peers or classmates, pray, say what kind of celebration would you offer him? Or would you have in the house?

It is not the score that should excite his followers. What rather should make anyone who believes in Gagdi’s capacity is the fact that, perceived division and camp endorsements that hitherto existed ceased to function for the sake of the party.

Those who know his (Gagdi) worth walk tall and appreciate the reality that a UNITED FRONT is made possible for his success in 2023; as well as of other party standard bearers in the zone and state.

It is on this score that, what happened is further confirmation of greater things to expect in 2023.

In God We Trust!
