Visit by the All Progressives Congress, APC, national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje to Nasarawa, Saturday, was characterized by spontaneous demand for the return of the March 18 governorship mandate allegedly given to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.
Residents who expressed pain over prevailing insecurity, killings and criminalities across the state asked Ganduje to be democratic and manly enough to ensure the return of the mandate stolen in Nasarawa.
A cross-session of women carrying placard with various inscriptions, lamented that the visit of the APC national chairman to the state to commission a 1.7km street and the remodeled lodge was not just ridiculous for a national chairman of a party when insecurity has become the order of the day.
In Lafia, residents who expressed their disappointment over poor development of the state since Governor Abdullahi Sule took over from Almakura, noted that the Sule’s achievement is only a lips service with nothing to show.
Mrs. Fatima Adamu lamented that the road construction that Governor Sule is celebrating and bringing the vice president, Kashim Shettima and the APC national chairman to commission put together were not up to 8km.
“Governor Sule is rather painting a picture showing that he has done nothing serious in areas of infrastructure. Bringing the vice president and the national chairman of his party to commission a less than 8km road is ridiculous when other state governors are commissioning hundreds of kms of roads and other infrastructures.
On the decamping of Senator Solomon Ewuga, residents who spoke with our correspondent in Lafia and Karu said that the former senator, Ewuga does not have any political value but only looking for where he could eat
David Adagazu, a youth leader in Karu said that “Ewuga is a political businessman who only swing to where he could take care of his stomach.
“How many people followed him to APC? All the people he contacted to follow him to APC declined, including some youths who are his ardent followers from his community.
Residents called on President Bola Tinubu to address the prevailing insecurity that has plagued the state in recent time leading to reckless killing of citizens by bandits rampaging the state.
