Gov Lalong Proud Of The Achievements Of Gagdi, APC.

The Executive Governor of Plateau State and the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum Rt.Hon Barr Dr Simon Lalong KSGG has charged the political class in the State and the country to make democracy worthwhile for the common people by being selfless and focusing on making their lives better.

The Governorcontinued "If we do not put them first, then we run the risk of alienating them and making politics uninteresting"

Lalong made this known while speaking at the presentation of midterm report by the Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi , the member representing Pankshin ,Kanke ,Kanam federal constituency to mark two years held at the Pankshin Stadium .

Lalong further said " As a Member of the ruling APC, the greatest party in Africa, our legislator, Yusuf Gagdi is making us proud and showing that the trust of the people is not misplaced. Some of the evidences are before us today to see and touch. We should support and encourage him to do more and make our party, the APC the envy of all."

Lalong said that "As a Government, the Rescue Administration has continued to deliver on its mandate in the last six years by implementing the vision of the APC in Plateau State."

The Governor also commended the member representing PKK Gagdi for the good works he has been doing in his zone and one of his most loyal lieutenants.

He said that the Honourable Member who is a first timer at the National Assembly has carried his experience gathered from the State House of Assembly to Abuja where he is doing his best to serve the people of his constituency by pursuing the passage of legislations that affect their lives and those of other Nigerians. 

in his words "from the compendium of achievements made available, the Honourable Member has sponsored about 20 bills and moved several Motions on critical national issues and in particular, those affecting the people of Pankshin, Kanke, Kanam constituency and Plateau State. This is a commendable development that buttresses the primary duty of law makers.

He added that " We can also see from the compendium of the Mid-Term Report presented that the legislator has equally facilitated and supported various projects within his constituency that border on provision of basic social amenities such as water, roads, schools, health centres, rural electrification and human capital development. Added to this is the aspect of lobby and networking for which the legislator has been able to build across the country in his two years at the Green Chambers which have opened opportunities for employment and appointment of the sons and daughters of Plateau State and in particular the members of his constituencies to various Federal establishments."

Lalong also stressed that he is  happy to note that the Honourable Member has not left out the traditional institutions in his intervention programmes as he has supported the improvement of their palaces and assisted them whenever the need arises. 

"The records also show that he has carried along his constituents irrespective of religious, ethnic or tribal differences. This is the way to go."

He called  on the people of Pankshin, Kanke, Kanam Federal Constituency to continue to support the legislator in ensuring that he delivers on his campaign promises. 

"The task of building a greater PKK can only be possible when all hands are on deck to assist those you have elected to perform."

" Constant engagement and dialogue that is driven by adequate feedback mechanism is therefore necessary to make the people benefit from democracy."

He  urged the people of PKK to take advantage of this Constituency Office to engage their representative on matters that border on their well-being. 

"While I congratulate the Rt. Hon. Yusuf Gagdi for his giant strides and quality representation, I will like to encourage all members of the Plateau caucus at the National Assembly to continue to work together irrespective of their political affiliations to put the interest of Plateau State above any other consideration.

He added that " When you work to attract development to your constituencies and Plateau State, our people will all benefit irrespective of their party, religion or ethnic backgrounds. The task of building a greater Plateau State rests on all of us. "

He further  appealed   to citizens particularly the youths to take a cue from Rt. Hon. Gagdi who is giving a good account of himself since he was elected to the Federal House of Representatives.
