” I am fully dedicated to supporting him in delivering on the mandate entrusted to him by the good people of Kaduna South. I believe that my role in this capacity is crucial at this time, and I must remain focused on these responsibilities.
The text reads in parts;
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND STATEMENT ON JEMAA LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL CHAIRMANSHIP ELECTION.
Dear esteemed members of Jemaa Local Government, I am profoundly humbled and honored by the overwhelming support and encouragement I have received from various groups, individuals, and stakeholders urging me to contest for the position of Chairman in the forthcoming Local Government Council election on October 29. Your belief in
my leadership and vision is deeply appreciated.
Firstly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the numerous community leaders, youth groups, women’s organizations, and all political stakeholders within Jemaa Local Government who have shown unwavering support for my potential candidacy. Your trust and confidence in my ability to lead our beloved local government area are both inspiring and motivating.
I am particularly grateful to my family, friends, and loyal supporters who have stood by me through this period of contemplation and decision-making. Your encouragement and steadfast
support have been invaluable.
However, after careful consideration and reflection, I have decided to respectfully decline the opportunity to contest for the chairmanship. This decision is rooted in my current commitment as an apprentice to the Distinguished Senator Barr Sunday Marshall Katung, representing Kaduna South Senatorial District at the 10th Senate.
I am fully dedicated to supporting him in delivering on the mandate entrusted to him by the good people of Kaduna South. I believe that my role in this capacity is crucial at this time, and I must remain focused on these responsibilities.
I want to assure you all that my decision does not diminish my commitment to the development and progress of Jemaa Local Government. I remain passionate about our community and will
continue to work tirelessly for our collective good.
I urge everyone to await the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) decision on a suitable candidate for the chairmanship. Once a candidate is chosen, let us all rally together to ensure their victory at
the polls.
Our unity and collective effort are vital for achieving the progress and prosperity we desire for our local government. Thank you all for your understanding, support, and dedication to our shared goals.
May God bless us all and guide us towards a brighter future for Jemaa Local Government.
Warm regards.
