Am not being sponsored By Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi or Any Body To Contest PKK house of representatives Election as being circulated in the social media and some mischief makers my manifesto speaks for me. This was made known in a press briefing by Hon. Ephraim Usman to clear the air over the rumours going round in the social media about his being sponsored by hon. Gagdi.

According to Hon. Ephraim ordinarily, I wouldn’t have even contemplated joining issues over a write-up by faceless person since in democracy, freedom of expression is encouraged to deepening the process. However, the said piece on the social media and being used to campaign against me is not even an opinion on my aspiration but outright falsehood, spurious, misplaced and malicious aimed at character assassination.

The said write-up and rumors summarizes the best definition of mischief. To further exhibit the motive, intend and purpose behind the malicious machinations, the sponsor of the write-up cooked up my being sponsored by hon. Gagdi or who ever. This is the height of insensitive, decay in moral occasioned by desperation.

Let me make it categorically clear that I have never been sponsored or supported by hon. Yusuf Gagdi The public is hereby, strongly advise to disregard the said rumors. Those who know me closely would attest to the fact that I am a man of the people owing to my background as a well cultured man. In my years of sojourn in the political terrain, I have never received an endorsement by any person or group to succeed. My manifesto has always been my selling point and I have always believe in team work irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation.

I have made it clear and would still want to state here that my interest in the House of Representatives is because it’s the more vibrant of the two chambers. Based on my orientation as a politician, I have realized that it’s the House of Reps that people express themselves most and it also affords one the opportunity to meet and network fellow Nigerians from various backgrounds and competencies. It is also where the strategic population is concentrated because it is where you have the younger people with multi disciplinary backgrounds, exuding energy and knowledge on how the country can be governed.

Consequently, I have a vision to offer service and collaborate with Nigerians to deliver on key areas that affect my Constituency. These are: Peace and Security and developmental projects to add value to the people of PKK.

Again, I want to be judged as a reformist. I have considered the activities of the legislature and I am interested in driving the reform process to make it better.

Finally, I appeal to all contesting not just for the PKK primaries Election but any other election to engage more in revealing what they have for the electorates rather than engaging in campaign of calumny aimed at destroying the reputation of others. How shall we see one another after an election campaign so richly built with hate, bitterness and indeed venom all in a bid to winning.Thank you all.

Hon. Ephraim Usman for PKK house of representatives

WHAT GAGDI IS AND IS NOT.

In this series today, I will look at the characteristic of the eagle.

I studied some birds sometime last year and I took interest in the EAGLE and came to realise that the eagle has some wonderful human traits.

The eagle is a bird that is bold, strong, courageous etc. It can stand alone and withstand the rigour of windstorm destruction.
It has eye sight-focus that enable it to see a distance of 5km above the sky level.

What Gagdi is; Is an EAGLE, just like the eagle.
**He is courageous*
**He is bold*.
**He is strong*
**He is focused*.

What Gagdi is not will not be like the other birds who see challenges of windstorms and run away. Amid challenges, is where you see great men standing.

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.

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.

*#SERIES NO. ONE*

*WHAT GAGDI IS AND IS NOT.*

This maiden edition tries to look at the ‘Thank you tour’ of Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam. It reveals the unprecedented support and massive crowd of supporters that welcome Gagdi.
The crowd and supporters show what Gagdi is,
**Massive support*
**Love by his people*
**Care by his people*
**Acceptability*

What Gagdi is not, can’t ask his supporters to smear, vilify and insult anyone

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.

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.
