Bravo, Rt. Hon. Gabriel Kudangbena Dewan. The suff you are made of, and and your innate leadership capabilities have been clearly revealed. While you held sway as Speaker PSHA, you distinguished yourself, no doubt!
By resigning at this moment, you have acted wisely. The wisdom you exhibited is evident in view of the adage that says: *Quit when the ovation is loudest!*
You, arguably, led the most united and relatively rancour free House following the inauguration of the State Assembly in 2023, and your resignation now is, perhaps, the honourable in Plateau political history so far!
In terms of tripartite responsibilities of legislation, representation, and oversight for which Legislative Assemblies are statutorily charged with at all levels of democratic governance, Plateau State House of Assembly, and the State as a whole, did not fare badly under your legistlative watch, and this is most commendable!
For serving the people well, you have, strategically, positioned yourself for greater greater visibility, engagements and representations, going forward!
The feelers from people is favourable, and the love from them is pure and organic. You can feel, see and touch the affection!
The last of you is yet to be heard and, in faith, i believe in the adage that reads: *'It can only gets better', for you!*
Welldone, Rt. Hon. This is, certainly, not the end for you, but beginning of an interesting journey in the game of politics!
As a Minority Whip, you are still a Principal Officer in the House. I congratulate you, and Hon. Joseph Gokum who emerged Majority, on your new roles!
Yesterday, there was traffic on social Media, even now on your generous donations toward infrastructure development in a school and payments of school fees of students, especially orphans, in your Constituency. This goes to show that whether as Speaker or not, your best is still what you want to give. This is heart warming!
Oh yes, it is true that power is transient, but the heart that serves is a constant. 'If you see something', they say, 'say something', and 'if you do not have something good to say about somebody, the advice is, 'shut up', also. Keep it up, Rt. Hon Dewan Gabriel Kudangbena!
May God make the remaining years of your present mandate eventful, and guide Rt. Hon. Na'anlong Daniel Gabyil, your successor as Speaker. May our various constituencies, Plateau, Nigeria and humanity succeed in holistic development!
