A former Director with Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Usman Galadima, has described the alignment of Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a move that will bring more projects and dividends of democracy to the state.
Speaking with journalist, Galadima described Governor Kefas as a smart and dynamic leader who is focused on innovation and development for the people of Taraba State.
According to him, the governor’s decision to work closely with the federal government demonstrates that he has the interest of the people at heart and is determined to attract more development to the state.
The former director, who is aspiring to represent Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, said his decision to contest was informed by the lack of participatory democracy in the constituency.
He noted that elected representatives must carry the people along in governance.
Galadima lamented that while other states are benefiting from constituency projects, Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency has been largely left out.
He stated that, by virtue of his experience at the FCTA and his wide network of contacts built during his years of service, he is well positioned to bring positive change and development to the constituency.
Appealing to the people of Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency, Galadima urged them to support his aspiration, assuring them that collective effort would usher in the desired change.
He further noted that the people are currently facing hardship despite the area being richly blessed with agricultural potential.
Galadima expressed confidence that if elected, Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency would witness a new dawn.
