Mr Yusuf Gagdi, representing Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam federal constituency in the House of Representatives, has dedicated his victory at the tribunal to God and the people of his constituency.
Gagdi, who was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said this Wednesday in Jos following Tuesday’s decision of the National Assembly Election which upheld his election as the duly elected, representative of the constituency.
The PDP and its candidate Mr Timothy Golu had challenged the election of Gagdi over massive rigging and other irregularities.
But the tribunal knocked out Golu’s petition for lack of merit and declared Gagdi the winner of the polls.
Gagdi thanked his constituents and his teeming supporters for standing by him throughout the trial and promised not to fail.
“Salaving Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam constituency is a task we must accomplish. We shall make a difference,” he said.
The lawmaker promised to secure employment for the teeming graduates in his constituency, adding that youths and women would also be empowered through various skills.
He also promised to support farmers in his constituency with farm inputs and other incentives to enable them thrive in farming business.
The legislator said he would achieve that within the four years of his tenure in the House of Representatives.
Gagdi, therefore, called on Golu, his opponent, to join hands with him in improving the living condition of the people of the constituency. (NAN)
