Dr. Aminu Malle, the candidate of the APC for Jalingo, Yorro and Zing federal constituency in the February 3 House of Representatives by-election, says he will prioritise security matters and enhance well-being of his constituents if elected.
Malle made the pledge while addressing party loyalists and supporters in Jalingo.
The APC candidate decried the recent spate of insecurity in the constituency, saying that the development had degraded the economic value of the constituency on the global map.
“The recent spate of insecurity, ranging from kidnapping and killings within Jalingo, Yorro and Zing federal constituency is worrisome.
“The development, if not quickly checked, will worsen poverty index of the constituents, as it is already crippling economic activities in the area.
“If elected, I will prioritise the security of the constituents, introduce ideas that will improve the well-being of the people and restore the constituency’s lost glory.
“I will ensure a united APC that will wrestle power from the PDP in subsequent polls and attract development to Taraba.
“I wish to appeal to all party men, who contested the ticket with me to consider the project as their own,” he said.
Alhaji Ibrahim El-Sudi, the state APC Chairman, said Malle was the best candidate among those contesting for the election, considering his records as a two time former national assembly member.
“I want to appeal to the people of Jalingo, Yorro and Zing federal constituency to vote for Malle, the APC candidate to transform the constituency.
The seat for Jalingo, Yorro and Zing became vacant following the death of Alhaji Ismaila Maihanci, PDP, which occured before the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.
