Deputy Speaker of the Federal House Representatives Ahmad Idris Wase Saturday assured his constituents of constant support to better their lives.
Wase stated this while disbursing four tractors, 200 sets of sewing machines, 200 sets of grinding machines, 152 motorcycles, and three galaxy cars, as empowerment to members of the 122 polling units, within Wase Federal Constituency, held at his residence in Bashar village of Wase local government area of Plateau state.
Represented by his senior legislative aide, Musa Abdullahi Nyalong, Wase said the gesture was part of efforts aimed at appreciating the people.
“We have been empowering our people right from the time that we first won election as far back as 2007 then in the opposition party. So, today’s event is not a new thing,” he said.
Wase said his principle of life knows no discrimination either on the bases of ethnicity or religion.
“We have given four tractors, one each to the four districts that we have in the local government areas. And this is in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s policy of Nigeria should feed itself. So, we gave the tractors so that our people can farm to produce foods that will feed Plateau state and Nigeria,” he said.
Wase urged the beneficiaries of the gesture to make good use of the items as means of job creation.
“Those that got motorcycles should use them to go to the farm and those that are not farmers should use it as means of transport to earn a living.
“Those that got sewing machines or grinding machines should also use it to earn good living,” he said.
