    In my One Year in Office, I Have Not Seen Any State Government Project in Pankshin, Kanke, Kanam- Hon. Gagdi

    1

    In a riveting interview with Viewpoint Nigeria, Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, the representative of Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam Federal Constituency, laid out an ambitious vision for his second term in office, igniting a political firestorm that is certain to ruffle the feathers of Plateau State’s opposition party. As Gagdi marks his one-year anniversary in office with a world press conference on June 13th in Pankshin, he confidently highlights his achievements and future plans, drawing a stark contrast between his efforts and those of the state government.

    Gagdi’s infrastructural accomplishments speak volumes. He proudly announced the construction of a 51km road linking Kanam and Bauchi state, a project awarded 4 billion Naira through the Ministry of Defense, with contractors already making significant progress. Additionally, he has championed the drilling of over 300 boreholes across polling units, with 70 currently non-functional due to challenges that an evaluation team is actively addressing. He assured that the borehole project in Kanke will be completed within the next six months.

     

    In the realm of healthcare, Gagdi has launched a comprehensive medical outreach program for his constituency, ensuring that residents receive diagnoses and treatments, with referrals to specialist hospitals covered by his office. Infrastructure in Pankshin has seen notable improvements as well, with the construction of the Gumdi-Shuwer road in Kanke LGA halfway completed, and over 20 km of roads and local market facilities developed in Pankshin town. Drainage systems within Pankshin have also been enhanced, demonstrating Gagdi’s commitment to addressing local needs.

     

    On December 22nd of last year, Gagdi empowered at least two constituents per polling unit in Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam, showcasing his dedication to community development. However, his most provocative statement came when he declared, “In my one year in office, I have not seen any state government project in Pankshin Kanke Kanam.” This bold assertion throws down the gauntlet to the opposition party, questioning the governor’s commitment to his own constituency.

    “How can a federal legislator’s projects in one year surpass those of the governor in his own constituency?” Gagdi asked pointedly, a statement bound to stir intense debate and scrutiny.

    Addressing the contentious issue of political tenure, Gagdi dismissed the gentleman’s agreement of one term per individual, proudly asserting his second-term victory in PKK and announcing his intention to run for a third term in 2027, signaling his readiness for political battles ahead.

    Gagdi’s statements and actions set the stage for a dramatic showdown with the state government, as his bold initiatives and confrontational rhetoric demand accountability and tangible progress for Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam. The political landscape in Plateau State is poised for a turbulent yet potentially transformative period, as Gagdi’s leadership challenges the status quo and calls for heightened responsibility from the opposition.

    The Justice Peace and Reconciliation Movement (JPRM) has partnered with Community Vigilante, Community Neighbourhood Watch, and the Hunters’ Association to strengthen security collaborations, advance freedom of religion, and encourage community cooperation for peace—a significant advancement towards improving a peaceful coexistence among communities in Plateau state.

    The Program was part of the Justice Peace and Reconciliation Movement (JPRM) project activities under the Joint Initiative for Strategic Religious Action (JISRA). The JISRA project is structured to ensure comprehensive community inclusion, ensuring no group is left behind.

    Mrs. Nemi Stephen, The Program Manager for JISRA explained that the project also involves security personnel as a stakeholder to creating value-added activities that address issues derailing peaceful coexistence among faith in some community within Jos North and Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

    Emphasizing the role of security personnel as a critical stakeholders for peace building in communities, Mrs Nemi Stephen highlighted that the project also aims to improve unity between different religious groups within the community.

    By targeting youth and involving them in shared activities, the project seeks to bridge religious divides and promote coexistence and mutual understanding.

    Mr Boniface Anthony, The Program Manager for Justice Development and Peace Commission (JDPC) emphasized the global challenges of freedom of religion, highlighting the lack of training among public officials and community leaders, and political and social pressures that stifle religious expression and contribute to societal divisions.

    Religious freedom initiatives face challenges due to limited budgets, inadequate legal frameworks, and communication barriers, which can hinder meaningful change and hinder effective dialogue with religious minorities.

    Anthony proposes strategic solutions to manage religious diversity, including enhanced training programs, community engagement, and prioritizing resource allocation for religious freedom initiatives, to foster mutual understanding and respect.

    Advocating for policy reforms, improving coordination, building trust, and promoting cultural understanding through education and outreach are crucial strategies for creating robust legal protections for all religious groups.

    Mr. Anthony advocates for overcoming religious barriers through collaborative efforts, respect, understanding, and human rights commitment, ensuring freedom of religion and belief.

    Mallam Umar Faruk Musa, the state project officer for Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI), elaborated on the significance of community vigilantes in promoting freedom of religion and belief through their security efforts.

    He emphasized that community vigilante groups are essential stakeholders in achieving the objectives of the Jisra project. He highlighted the unique focus of the JISRA project, noting that it is the only organization implementing such an initiative with this perspective.

    During a workshop, Musa conveyed the importance of community vigilantes by helping them recognize their inherent potential within the scope of their operations.

    He stressed that security is now a fundamental aspect of human life, and personal security awareness is crucial.

    Musa urged for more support for grassroots security outfits from communities and government entities, noting that these groups have often been overlooked.

    He stressed that increased focus and support for community vigilantes could significantly enhance security consciousness and efforts at all levels.

    Former House of Assembly member representing Pankshin North constituency, Hon. Phillip Dasun, has stunned the political landscape in Plateau State by announcing his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today 13th May 2024.

    Dasun, in an interview, cited impressive performance by Governor Mutfwang and a similarity in ideology as reasons for his move.

    “We supported Nentawe, believing that he would deliver remarkably on the Plateau dream, but God did not allow it. Governor Mutfwang has taken up the responsibility and is delivering wonderfully on the job, which is why we took the decision to support his leadership. The more we witness the progress being made under his governance, the more we align with his vision for the state. Mutfwang’s achievements in transforming Plateau state have been thoroughly impressive, and his policies fall in line with my own values and beliefs,” Dasun said.

    He further stated that he was motivated to make the switch after careful consideration and consultation with his supporters and the people he represents. He added that he was confident that his decision would yield positive dividends for his constituents.

    Reacting to the development, the party Deputy Chairman of Belining Ward, Mr. Apollos Bilshaka, who received Dasun’s letter on behalf of the party expressed his delight at the development, describing it as a welcome addition to the PDP family in Plateau State.

    “The move by Hon. Phillip Dasun shows that our party, the PDP, is gaining more ground in Plateau State and is being recognized as the party of choice for people who desire true change. We welcome our brother and leader back and we look forward to a great relationship ahead.” Bilshaka said.
