200 PLUS 2000 EQUAL TO HUMAN EMPOWERMENT: A MATHEMATICAL DERIVATION OF RT. HON. GAGDI.

For those who used to jumped and ran away through the window when they saw the maths teacher enter their class during their secondary school days will not understand this mathematical derivation till further explanation.

Let me explain.The inventor of this mathematical formula is Rt.Hon.Gagdi. He founded it in the year 2019 and encapsulated it in his blue print that 200, which is not constant but progressive, and 2000, which is intermittently constant, will be unveiled tomorrow being monday,24/02/2020 at Pankshin.

Let me further explain. 200 which is not constant but progressive stands for the number of gainfully employed members of his constituents and 2000 which is intermittently constant represents the Youths/women to be empowered tomorrow at Pankshin, Nefur Arena.

Therefore, 200 plus 2000 is not 2200 but in the true sense and answer to it is youths/women empowerment.

Therefore, to get a mathematical formula to solved a mathematical problem like this, it requires a resilient researcher like Rt. Hon. Gagdi who has done his research work well having transcended all the rocky hills of Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam during his campaign to know the problems of the constituents and put it in a blue print.

Tomorrow one of the promises of the blue print will be delivered, when 2000 youths and women will move to the next level and their lives transformed.

Rt. Hon. Gagdi is working and has many formulas to arrive at a solution to a problem. That is why everywhere in Plateau and Nigeria at large, in a bus you enter, in market you go, in hospital and restaurant, it is GAGDI’S sound and sight.

The man who will give you the formula to solve your mathematical derivation easily without running out of the window when you see him as your maths teacher is Rt. Hon. Gagdi. His formula is easy to get.

For those who are learning mathematics or want to be more interested in mathematics and to get it right, come to Pankshin tomorrow to get some formulas on how to solve your mathematical political problems. Don’t allow someone to give you a twisted narrative. Be a witness!

See you there.

The rise to prominence and the need for support and prayers,a case of Rt Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase,Deputy Speaker House of Representatives.

23/2/ 2020

By Abubakar Muhammad Badu.

Today marks the first anniversary of the fourth consecutive re-election of Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase into the respected Chamber of the House of Representatives in 2019.

It is said when a man or woman rises to prominence, there are tendencies that a lot might be said about his or her person. It could either be positive and indeed even negative. It has been said constantly that the rise of a good man brings good tidings to his supporters and well wishers and pain to those who are opposed to his thoughts and aspirations.

The rise of Rt Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase may have brought to memories lots of the reasons why the man is referred severally as Mr humble,one who stands at the center where others looked up to, has left the stage. If the encomiums we have seen and heard since his entrance into politics are anything to go by, without doubt his rise will add value to humanity.

His simplicity and character is worth commending as portrayed in the manner he treat even the least of his staff and visitors through his listening ability and always goes out of his way to ensure they are equally treated without disparity. If he gave out anything for them, he monitored its distribution to the last point.

Those who worked with him at his former offices in College of Education Gindri,Plateau State Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board are quick to recount the details of his generosity and altruistic disposition while he lasted as the director of works,Chairman Non Academic Staff Union and Executive Secretary in that order.

On account of his excellent dispositions he rose to the positions of Chairman House Committee on Federal Character in 2011,2015 and later Deputy Majority Leader of the House of Representatives in 2018.

The sense of loyalty is not lost in him. He was quoted as saying at a point: “You know there cannot be two captains in a ship. I am the Deputy Speaker and I am happy that Rt Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila is the Speaker and we are all product of loyalty to our party, the All Progressive Congress.”

His sense of relationship did not get consumed on the alter of partisanship as he relate well with members of other political parties that make up the house, as
he endeared himself easily to people with well-thought solutions.

There were times, I wonder if he is the occupant of the exalted office of the Deputy Speaker House of Reps. He is a person that is simple, down to earth without recourse to the position he is occupying.

At his house which I visit most times,people easily got along with His family members as they always said, we are here because of your votes ,therefore this is your house too.

Therefore, it is easy to hear people expressing joy in him occupying the seat believing that God must have brought him forward for the benefit of humanity.

There is no better word that could be attributed to him while he served the House as the Chairman Committee of Federal Character where people call him Mr employment. He is indeed an epitome of such good attributes that any good leader would like to be imbued with; and for which those who worked with him and are still working with him were given a sense of direction.

As a lot has been said about him,it is only wise that we begin to appreciate those kind words coming from the high and the low at a time when the Nation is in dear need of people with such values.

At a time when some people will think that he has accomplished alot in terms of attracting Federal and State Governments projects as well as assisting people in securing employment, he always say this words ,”I have a lot of things in mind, particularly projects and youth empowerment which is a very serious problem. Too many young people are without jobs. And as the Deputy Speaker, I will continue to be loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari,the APC,Speaker and leadership of the National Assembly in the efforts being put to assist the nation in problem solving.

On the strength of the above,we are calling on all to continue to pray for him and the nation while also giving him the necessary support to succeed.

Once more,congratulations,RT HON AHMED IDRIS WASE

*Plateau State PDP Must not Repeat The same Historical Mistake about the man Hon. Bitrus Kaze*

A former member of the House of Representatives, Abuja, Hon. Bitrus Kaze was at the Plateau State PDP Secretariat, Wadata Plaza Jos, to acquire the interest and nomination form in order to run for the Chairmanship seat of the Plateau State People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking to news men about his ambition, Kaze, who is famed for his selfless and fervent passion in the fight against the interest of the Plateau Heritage, maintained that his ambition to serve the party is has nothing to do with his personal ambition but for the interest of PLATEAU STATE in the bigger picture.

He said “The dire situation in which the PDP on the Plateau finds itself today, has taken its toll on our collective pursuit about the ideals of what Plateau people require. Therefore, daring measures must be taken to address it.

It is obvious that notwithstanding that the APC is in power on the Plateau, it actually remains the opposition party in the hearts of most Plateau people.”

“If truth must be told, our repeated stumbles from the congresses of 2014 are precisely what catapulted and have sustained the APC in Little Rayfield. I believe very firmly however, that the APC emerged and has survived thus far only on our mistakes. When we get it right this time around and eliminate our mistakes; we would have effectively eliminated APC in Plateau State.

This is exactly what I intend to do. I am determined to provide level playing ground for all party faithful in the State. A level playing ground in Plateau PDP has direct bearing on good governance of Plateau State.”

He added that “In my considered view, nothing will neutralize divisions and acrimony on the one hand and promote cohesion and unity of purpose on the other hand like the prevalence of justice, equity and fairness in the Plateau PDP. Undoubtedly, the wellbeing of the PDP has a direct bearing on the wellbeing of Plateau. The goal of my contest therefore is not just to rejuvenate PDP on the Plateau. The security and wellbeing of Plateau itself is in view. To this end, the 2020 congresses has provided us with yet another Golden an important opportunity to make the most consequential decisions. We cannot continue to do the same thing and expect different results. Together we must turn a new leaf. I am prepared to provide credibility, accountability and to inject a new lease of life into the PDP on Plateau State. I want to walk my talk.”

Prior to acquiring the form, Kaze has been heralded by youths and elders; especially from the PDP grassroot as the best suited candidate for the Job; as can be obviously seen on the social media where he enjoys a lot of goodwill from the youths across political parties divides on issues partaining to Plateau’s interest.

You will recall that in December 2019, Factualtimesng.com and universalreportersng.com reported that a group under the aegis of Plateau PDP Youths Vanguard came out to publicly drum support for Kaze, describing him as a commited, dedicated goal getter; aloyal party man with excellent track records.

He is therefore, undoubtedly capable of leading the PDP on the Plateau, thereby bringing the much needed and desired change which the party needs if the 2023 elections is anything to go by and effectively actualize the dreams of returning to a government House thought about and built by the PDP in the State.
The group also appealed to party elders, political office holders and other party members to place their collective support for Kaze to become the next chairman after Hon. Dimishi Sango.

President Muhammadu Buhari met on Thursday in Abuja with Governor Simon Lalong and other stakeholders from Plateau State, assuring the delegation that the Federal Government will continue to support efforts towards a peaceful, prosperous and tolerant society.

The President made an appeal to residents and indigenes of the state to support the Governor’s development agenda.

“Plateau is strategic to Nigeria. It is geographically unique with its diverse environmental and huge economic potential. This clearly shows the state’s incredible potential in tourism, agriculture and mining.

“It is, therefore, our collective duty to ensure these potentials are fully harnessed by providing the right policy support,” the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted Buhari as saying.

President said he was very pleased with the progress made on security, provision of social services and infrastructure development under the leadership of the present governor.

“These are the critical pillars of having a prosperous and inclusive society. I will, therefore, take this opportunity to urge all citizens of Plateau to encourage and support your Government in delivering on its mandate,” he said.

Commending Lalong for his steadfastness, patriotism and successes achieved so far, President Buhari declared: “Plateau State has been transformed by the work you have done.”

On the requests by the state government, including the dualisation and construction of some federal roads, upgrade of the Potato Research Centre to a full-fledged Institute, a special grant for reconstruction and rehabilitation of victims of attacks and crises, among others, Buhari assured the delegation that his administration would do its best to support where possible.

In his remarks, Lalong expressed deep gratitude to the President on his unflinching support to the state, saying “you have shown that, indeed, you are a father to all and a true leader whose passion for development and peace is unquestionable.”

Presenting the requests of the state government, the Governor appealed to the Federal Government to refund outstanding monies expended in the construction of some federal roads.

He also called for the establishment of a federal polytechnic in the state as well as the upgrading of the Nigerian Institute of Mining and Geosciences to the University of Mining.

On security, Lalong told the President his administration had made tremendous efforts in building institutional and legal framework in engendering peace and security in the last four years.

“Sadly, however, in the last two months, we recorded two incidents of killings in Kulben, Mangu Local Government and Kwatas in Bokkos Local Government where lives were lost, property destroyed and people displaced,” he said.

The Governor announced that some arrests have been made and investigations ongoing, pledging that the state government is “determined to get to the bottom of this in order to affirm the message that criminals cannot take us back to the days of agony.”

*PAN YOUTHS CONDEMNED THE MURDER OF Ms. LAETITIA NA’ANKANG DAGAN*

Pan Youth Association has received with great grief, the sad news of the untimely and gruesome murder of our sister late Miss Laetitia Na’ankang Dagan. Na’ankang was until her death, an Assistant Director of Administration, Training and Welfare Department in the State House.

Her dastardly murder is a painful loss not only to her family, Pan Nation, Plateau and Nigeria but, to humanity at large, hence, we strongly condemn her cruel and cold blooded murder.

Na’ankang, was a peaceful, hardworking and pious lady as attested to by the Permanent Secretary, State House, Abuja, Alhaji Jalal Arabi, who described her thus: “She was a dedicated, hard-working officer, and we all feel pained by her dastardly and untimely death,” he further said,
”We all share in your grief and pains, but be consoled by the fact that she lived a good life and contributed her best to the service of her nation.”

Inspite of the tribute above, our attention has been drawn to the malicious rumours making the rounds that she was murdered because of the alledged leakage of a memo written by the National Security Adviser to Chief of staff to President, this is completely false as she was not in anyway linked to said memo, being a staff of the Training and Welfare department.

We advise that people should stop spreading falsehood and allow the family and her loved ones to mourn in peace.

We commend the State House and the police for the steps taken so far leading to the arrest of some suspects connected to the murder. We however, call on the authorities to expedite action on investigation and prosecution of all perpetrators and ensure adequate punishment is meted according to relevant laws of the land to serve as a deterrent.

We also request her office to ensure that one of her siblings is employed in her place because she was the breadwinner and pillar of her family.

We pray for the peaceful repose of her soul.
May God comfort and console her family, Pan Nation, Plateau State and Nigeria at large.
Adieu Na’ankang.
