Jagaban Kontagora: Celebrating a great son with a heart of gold.By; M.M. Mahmud

The greatest General that ever lived in this world, Alexander the Great, once said that he is always afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion than an army of lions led by a sheep.This tells us that leadership is not a child’s play. When we say a child’s play, we are not referring to the question of age, tribe or religion of the public office holder, but the maturity of what a person can offer and the quality he exhibits as a leader when he/she is entrusted with power.

These words describe no one other than the current Member  Representing Kontagora/Wushishi/Mariga/Mashegu Federal Constituency.Rt. Hon. Abdullahi Idris Garba (Jagaban Kontagora) is akin to leading an army of sheep in his constituency. As a politician in Kontagora local government area and his immediate community,he carried with him an aura that defines his persona. He joined politics after making friends across the length and breadth of the constituency, the state and the nation at large.

One thing unique about the September 2022 celebrant is that he has consistently used every opportunity at his disposal to add value to his immediate community, the local government area and the country at large. He has empowered countless number of youths, women groups, payment of tuition/school fees through scholarships, renovating and construction of boreholes, settlement/payments of hospital bills, distribution of food items during festive seasons, among many of his philanthropic gestures.

He is indeed a worthy ambassador of empowerment and human development with recent giant strides that make him one in a milion among his contemporaries in the green chamber. A federel law maker who constructed a world classs stadium deserves a national celebrations as he celebrates his birthday.The All Progressives Congress are blessed with good potentials who have proved to be worthy ambassadors wherever they found themselves and their Credibility is  speaking well for the party ahead of the 2023 general elections. 

As a leader, Jagaban Kontagora seamlessly addresses the emerging challenges from the persistent ones that we face in Nigeria,Niger State and his immediate constituency today.He always strives to make things better with new approaches and unfaltering determination.My message to this thoroughbred politician the greatest political leader that history has ever seen in Kontagora/Wushishi/Mariga/Mashegu Federal Constituency
 is to keep this tempo with his direction and leadership he is exhibiting. He spent part of his  years of successful life guiding and mentoring the youths in the right direction and he has motivated many to do their very best in moving forward the constituency of our dream and the state at large.

AIG’s headstrong approach and passion to achieve what he set out to do are quite remarkable and inspirational.Generations unborn will live to celebrate his glaring achievements especially his unwavering commitment towards building strong bonds of friendships in Kontagora/Wushishi/Mariga/Mashegu federal constituency and beyond.

As you lead the way and light up the path for all of those who follow you particularly your constituents,We the good people of the Niger State celebrate you today and always for what you have done particularly the incredible changes you have made. Your outstanding performance as a Federal Law maker is connected to your very rich background in both education, human capacity building and political nurturing of always serving only the interest of the downtrodden.

While celebrating his birthday, his contributions to the upliftment of the less fortunate, we are equally thanking the Almighty Allah for giving us this begotten son to salvage the current carnages.   He is one of the Member of House of Representatives alive that the nation will be glad to have as the 16th Speaker of the 10th Assembly  to give Nigerians the opportunity to smell sound leadership and enjoy the dividends of democracy with Jagaban as a President and Jagaban as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Happy golden jubilee to our esteemed leader defined by integrity, insight and inclusiveness. May we live long to celebrate more of your adorable years ahead in sound health Ameen Summa Ameen.

From: John Faith  The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has condemned the alarming shortage of drugs at the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH) Gombe, despite receiving 130 million Naira from the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA). This situation has caused immense suffering and hardship for the community, with patients unable to access essential medications.
