THE ONLY SENATOR EVER ON THE PLATEAU: AHMED CHALOS(DIDAT BOKKOS)

There was once a Senator on the plateau before Politics of religion ,tribes and regions consumed but certainly those behind this act may have achieve their Political aims but the most cheated are the youths who may have benefited from this noble man.

The seat of the Senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria is beyond just winning an election at home locally but you must have to win the minds of others nationally. National Politics give better results than reducing yourself to a mere tribal Political bigots and this amount some of the reasons why the likes of Jang were at the senate but enjoyed no Political relevant which left him with an option to retired . The Political elites behind this hyeneous act has used the youths and dumped them but is left to us to think twice .

There is are much difference between Abuja Politics and our local state Politics here at home . If you think you are a hero ,then try it in Abuja and am sure you will see your limit .

This was Nasiru Mantu and if you think it wasn't him then you may  show us another list of what his successors did .
