The Drivers Union and other supporters groups from Birniwa/Gurl/Kirikasamma federal constituency in Jigawa state have purchased and presented the APC nomination forms for their representative Dr. Abubakar Hassan Fulata for re-election.
Speaking while presenting the form to the lawmaker, the leader of the group, Engr. Ibrahim Waklii said the lawmaker had made it possible for them to be enjoying some of the better things of life that seemed to them like dream.
“We know that he has the money to buy these forms, but we won’t allow him to buy them for himself. We raised the money by making contributions of N10,000, N1000 and even lesser amounts. ‘’
Wakili also said that Fulata has transformed the landscape and lives of many people in his constituency through the provision of Infrastructural facilities like road networks, education, health care among others.
“He has changed the terrain of his constituency at large. People now call him the architect of development of the area because he has been able to provide for the people of his constituency, what most politicians before him could not provide.”
Speaking while receiving the forms Dr Fulata promised to up his legislative responsibilities, if given the mandate to represent the constituency for the third term.
The lawmaker promised not to let them down but to continue with his empowerment programs that have brought relief to the people.
The lawmaker, who is contesting for the third term, assured his constituents that he would do more if he returns to the House by facilitating massive infrastructural and human capital development as well as continuing to improve on what has so far been achieved.
Fulata said, “I feel elated and surprised. It is basically appreciation for what God has used us to do over the past three years and I am grateful to them for the confidence.
“My target is to continue to facilitate massive infrastructural development, human capital development and to continue to improve on what we have done and been doing in the past couple of years that have warranted our constituents to have the confidence of being able to raise this sort of money to support us just to continue and to make sure we do better.”
The support groups are made up of stakeholders that include artisans, students, drivers’ unions and beneficiaries of the lawmaker’s job opportunities as well as party executives from the three LGAs that constitute the constituency.
