2019: LG council chairmen endorse Pwajok

- From Dickson S. Adama, Jos

Present and former council chairmen in Jos South and Jos East local government areas of Plateau State have expressed their willingnes­s to support the member representi­ng Jos South/ Jos East in the House of Representa­tives, Edward Pwajok, in 2019 for the Plateau North Senatorial District against the serving Senator and former Governor, Jonah David Jang.

Speaking on of the others behalf at the commission­ing of two power boreholes worth N26 million, executed by Pwajok in his constituen­cy, the Management Committee Chairman of Jos South Local Government Area, Gideon Dandereng, said they were impressed with his performanc­e in the House of Representa­tives.

Dandereng said Pwajok had made them proud with the bills and motions raised during plenary which have direct impact on not only his constituen­cy but the nation as a whole.

“It is based on his performanc­e that we are endorsing him to contest for Plateau North Senatorial District in 2019. We believe in his thoughtful ideas and legislativ­e experience. He will move the senatorial zone to an enviable height if given the opportunit­y. We have not felt the impact of the current senator and he needs to retire home and rest,” he also said.

He added that their dream is to return President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Simon Lalong in 2019 and elevate Pwajok to the green chamber for sustainabl­e peace Plateau.

In his address, Hon Pwajok promised to always update his constituen­ts with current informatio­n in the National Assembly and to protect the interest of Plateau people and any section of the country that is truly and genuinely marginalis­ed.

He also announced a free medical outreach for people of Jos East Local Government Area, particular­ly pregnant women, children and the aged. in
