A Coalition of Youth groups from Southern Kaduna senatorial zone in northern Nigeria has declared its support for the incumbent Senator, Danjuma La’ah, for a second term in office come 2019.
The coalition consisting of students, artisans and traders, observed that Senator La’ah, has laid a solid foundation for his constituency and needed to bring his laudable projects to completion beyond 2019.
Spokesman of the groups, Christopher Jatau, while briefing newsmen in Kaduna Thursday, noted the ground breaking achievements of the Senator as fundamental reasons for their unalloyed support.
He said, “Senator La’ah’s record breaking achievements are numerous. He has sponsored a bill seeking to upgrade College of Statistics, Manchok to a University which has passed first reading, awaiting second hearing before approval.
“He has secured licence to operate the National Open University programme in Kagoro. He has also secured approval for the building of Police Primary School in Kafanchan and Police Secondary School in Tum.
“He purchased and distributed pick-up-vans, motorcycles and sophisticated security gadgates in the eight local government areas amid security challenges. He purchased and distributed hospital equipment to boost rural healthcare in his senatorial district, and the purchased and distribution of over fifty transformers in the area.
“Given this background, the endorsement of Senator La’ah for a second term in office is necessitated by his various achievements, as such, he needs our support to continue the good works he has started.
“If we must grow politically, experience of the candidate and his achievements are supposed to be our collective basis for assessing a candidate rather than intangible and political considerations like ethnic, religious and party affiliation.”
