AS PANKSHIN OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION, POBA GETS SET TO HOLD 2023 CONVENTION AND ELECT NEW OFFICIALS.BY OGAK WALBE

PANKSHIN OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION, POBA the alma mata  of Government College Pankshin has over the years since its establishment contributed immensely to the development of the school and the welfare of its members in no small measure. Indeed the association has helped a lot of its members to excel in various fields of human endeavour including Political,religious,educational,business with many have rising to the pinnacle of the public office and other enterprises.

It has become a tradition that towards the end of every year POBITES hold their convention; this event usually excites the members because it is a moment of reunion with long lost friends and classmates which is also an occasion with lots of exchange of jerks and pleasantries. 

Above all it is the moment that the EXCO comes together to reevaluate its activities for the past year with the aim of brainstorming and chatting a new cause for the welfare of its members and the development of the school, as well as render account of its stewardship for the past year.

This year’s event will be a little bit different because the Association is set to elect new officials to pilot the affairs of its members and this is exciting for a lot of the members as various candidates have indicated interest and already campaigning.

One of such candidates is a seasoned broadcaster,public commentator,a researcher and policy expert,Kenzy Npupar of set 95 who is vying for the position of National President.

The positive impact of Kenzy Ngupar as the set 95 Chairman is obviously unwavering, a gentleman of outright charisma who has demonstrated an exceptional leadership skills and passion to serve this noble association as can be seen during his service for two tennures as the National Publicity Secretary of POBA.

His excellent communication skills and image making helped in giving POBA a National attention that today POBA stands strong amongst the comity of Old Students Associations in Nigeria.

He is an individual who feels the welfare and comfort of his members come first as can be seen during the Covid-19 epidemic and whenever a member of set 95 and to some extent any POBITE is sick, bereaved or celebrating he quickly draws attention to it using his media skills and human relations.

In a nutshell, Kenzy Ngupar’s aspiration to contest for the National President enlivens a lot of POBITES who have come in personal contact with him because of his unique personality, a fellow who feels the rights and privileges of the people he represents comes first.

The 2023 convention has offered POBA yet another great opportunity to elect people with greater capability and ideas, men with the right exposure and experience. 

To this end, Kenzy Ngupar has an array of accomplishments as a mobilizer, planner, commentator and broadcaster of repute. His intimidating profiles and legendary accomplishments are praiseworthy, above all his firmly immense dispositions, unquestionable character, and uncommon passion for good service stands him out.

POBA is set to be redefined the more come Saturday the 9th of December,2023 when all POBITES gather in Jos.

Already Kenzy Ngupar has reeled out his excellent agenda to the amazement of so many as he has already visited the Plateau Contributory Health Care Agency to have Members and students registered to benefit.He has also contacted the sister agency in Nassarawa State and considering other catchment areas to have members benefit.

He has also visited the School and an office space for POBA has been allocated and work to commence soon so as to bridge the gap between students,management and POBA.

He has visited the Ministry of Education,Local Government And Chieftaincy Affairs and a few others to see how the attention of Government can be draw on the need to complete the Legacy Project of the school so it doesn't become a project abandoned.

We are very optimistic together with his team he will tell members other visions and missions he has for the alma mater and association if elected come Saturday.

For now the stakes are high and we believe this gentleman who God willing will be the youngest National President in the history of POBA will also make history with the support of all.

MR 'SPEAKER', DON'T LIVE IN A FOOL'S PARADISE

The so called Speaker of the  Plateau State House of Assembly is credited to have astonishingly stated that he will not swear-in the legitimate  members of the house, until the end of next month, when the House might have resumed from its abrupt recess on the 23/1/24.

This outburst is expected, moreso when he is just like a robot, acting a script poorly crafted by his master, who temporarily is residing in Government House Little Rayfield.

Right from the time the moribund  House  members suddenly took to their heels in the wake of Court of the Appeal judgements, it was evident that the outgoing government was up to something sinister.

To justify the suspicion, the House of Assembly service Commission without recourse to extant laws, unceremoniously got rid of the clerk and went ahead to  nepotistically foist a new one from the governor's kinsmen.

Now that the one man riot gang in the House, to the exclusion of the majority, has come out to arrogantly  make such an incendiary remark, there is every reason to believe that great danger lies ahead in the execution of the Court of Appeal judgements, as far as the House of Assembly elections petitions are concerned.

With this posture and the illusion that, he alone constitutes the leadership of the House at the moment, the peace and well being of Plateau State does not matter to him, so long as his master's personal interest is not affected.

From all indications, the PDP is determined through a stooge to as usual, disrespect the Court judgements and the rule of law in its quest to hold on to power, even at the expense of peace and tranquility of the State.

The PDP and indeed the so-called Speaker who has been in the minority of the minorities, ought to know that he cannot whimsically hold Plateau State to ransome when as things stand now, APC is in the majority.

Take it or leave it, even as it is, the APC holds the ace and therefore cannot be stampeded by a one man gang, that is out to undermine and subvert democratic norms in the State.

Undoubtedly, the outburst by the Speaker, is not only   self-serving but poses a serious security threat which needs to be appropriately addressed by the security agencies.

The Speaker as young as he is, should not allow himself to be used as a willing tool towards achieving some subterranean motives, which are capable of throwing Plateau State into chaos, and also have at the back of his mind, that he has a name and future to protect.
