2019: Southern Kaduna Groups Endorse Senator La’ah
BY AMOS TAUNA, KADUNA – A coalition of youth organisations from Southern Kaduna senatorial zone on Thursday declared their support for incumbent Senator Danjuma La’ah, for a second term in office come 2019.
The coalition, comprising students, artisans and traders, observed that Senator La’ah has laid a solid foundation for his constituency, thus the need to bring his laudable projects to completion beyond 2019.
Spokesman of the groups, Mr. Christopher Jatau, who briefed newsmen in Kaduna, said the ground breaking achievements of the Senator are the fundamental reasons for their unalloyed support.
According to him, “Senator La’ah’s record breaking achievements are numerous. He has sponsored a bill seeking to upgrade the College of Statistics, Manchok to a University which has passed first reading and awaiting second hearing before passage.
“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 gadgets 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.”
