NO OTHER POLITICAL PARTY
EXISTS IN KANAM APART FROM THE APC
-STAKEHOLDERS
SAY, AS GAGDI, YIPMONG, GARGA, OTHERS SHUT DOWN DENGI.
The area has unanimously resolved to consolidate the status of the area as one of the strongest holds of the party in Plateau State.
This was the
view that emanated at the well-attended
and enlarged meeting, which brought together all elected and appointed sons and
daughters of the area, party executives and Kanam citizens from across the
twenty electoral wards of the area.
The occasion,
held at the popular Dengi Multipurpose Hall, drew a mammoth crowd which was
filled to capacity.
Welcoming the crowd of APC faithful, Kanam Local Government Council Chairman Dr. Dayyabu Yusuf Garga said the coming together became necessary in order to further solidify the strength of the party in the area as well as rub minds as part of preparations for active political participation with the lifting of the ban on campaigns by INEC around the corner.
He said apart
from the APC, no political party existed in the area could be seen by the
array of personalities who were in the hall as there was no person of political
value that was left out.
Garga equally
said the people of Kanam have shown their love for the APC with their turnout
and resolve to deliver the party one hundred per cent in the 2023 general
elections.
Deputy Speaker
of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Saleh Shehu Yipmong on his part,
said they will work as a team to deliver all candidates of the party even as
some of them who contested did not clinch their tickets, they are putting their
heads with all the leaders of the party to ensure that Kanam remains the pride
of the APC.
Adding his voice
at the interactive meeting, a member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal
Constituency in the National Assembly Abuja, Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi visibly
elated by the massive turnout of supporters of the APC said Kanam as a bedrock of
the party will continue to deliver en block and ensure all candidates from top
to bottom are returned elected.
According to the
lawmakers, politics of selfishness must be done away with. The politics of religion
must also be done away with as religion is a personal relationship with God.
He added that as
leaders, entrusted with such privilege, they will work towards giving back to
the people absolutely what belongs to them.
Gagdi posited that the crowd of supporters there has been just a test of what is to come when
campaigns eventually start by the end of this September saying they will comb
the nooks and crannies of the local government and give candidates of the APC
the complete votes of the Kanam people.
Earlier, the Chairman of the APC in Plateau State, Hon Rufus Bature, represented by the State Treasurer of the party, Hon Myepobi Ishaku said the party holds Kanam LGA
so dear because it has never disappointed when it comes to elections.
He commended the
stakeholders of the APC in the area for constantly keeping in touch with the
people and assured them that they will continue to benefit from the party.
Other
stakeholders who took turns to make comments at the event were Hon
Commissioners of Agriculture as well as that of Physical Planning, Dr. Hosea
Finangwai and Alhaji Idris Gambo respectively. Others were a member representing
Kantana State Constituency, Hon Bala Noma, former Chairman of Kanam LGC, Prof
Saleh Mohammed Kanam, among others.
They all saluted
the doggedness of Kanam people saying by their attendance, jitters must have
been sent to the spine of anyone thinking of coming to Kanam to scout for votes
other than the APC.
The people
unanimously by voice votes agreed to return and also mop up the very few votes
if there are remaining at the grassroots.
Speakers after
speaker on the line reaffirmed their resolve to deliver the APC come 2023 and prayed
for their leaders in the LGA.
A cross-section
of attendees included former members of the Plateau State House of Assembly,
former LGA Chairmen and their deputies, all elected councillors from the twenty
wards, women leaders and groups, youth,
persons with disabilities, market women and those of other trades, amongst
others.
