The National Democratic Party candidate for the upcoming Gombe-Kwami-Funakaye Federal Constituency by-election, Honourable Abdulmujib Abdulkarim Kwami, has assured constituents of effective representation if elected in Saturday’s poll.
Speaking during an interaction with journalists in Gombe, Honourable Abdulmujib stated that his tenure would focus on delivering the dividends of democracy through purposeful legislation, prioritizing agricultural mechanization across the constituency.
“Being that the majority of my people are farmers, it is high time to introduce them to new farming techniques to improve their yields and ensure food security in the state,” he said.
The candidate also pledged to sponsor bills supporting free education to increase school enrollment and alleviate financial burdens on parents.
Furthermore, he promised to prioritize empowerment programs for women and youth by creating employment opportunities and providing capital support to foster entrepreneurial self-reliance.
Addressing the electorate, Honourable Abdulmujib urged constituents to reject money politics and cautioned young people against engaging in political thuggery.
“I strongly discourage our youth against political thuggery or being allowed to be used by unpatriotic politicians before, during, or after the by-election as well as the upcoming 2027 general election,” he warned.
He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure a free, fair, and credible process by remaining neutral and providing a level playing field for all participating parties, adding that the National Democratic Party is fully prepared for both the by-election and the upcoming polls.
“NDP is fully ready to participate in the by-election as well as the upcoming 2027 general election,” he affirmed.
