-

The member representi­ng Chikum/Kajuru Federal Constituen­cy of Kaduna State and Chairman House Committee on Sports Hon. Ekene Abubakar Adams Adams has disclosed that his victory against more notable candidates, who had served about five consecutiv­e terms, is a demonstrat­ion of the peoples’ trust in him.

He however reiterated his commitment to addressing developmen­tal challenges confrontin­g his constituen­cy.

Speaking with LEADERSHIP in an exclusive interview, Adams, who was elected on the banner of the Labour Party (LP), promised to use his mandate to raise the bar of representa­tion to a qualitativ­e level.

Adams, who lamented that his constituen­cy has been grossly marginaliz­ed and underdevel­oped, said he has already commenced work on some infrastruc­ture projects designed to the standard of living of his constituen­ts.

According to him, “my mother is from the south east and my wife is Yoruba. Even here, I am not from any dominant tribe. I am from a humble background my father was a military person… And I have been into profession­al soccer playing ugboro to internatio­nal level, after my secondary school. So, coupled with my internatio­nal exposure and recognitio­n, I have joined politics to serve humanity, to give back to society.”

The Labour Party representa­tive further explained that in keeping to his campaign promise, he has executed a project worth over One Hundred and Thirty Million naira N130,000,000 within the first few weeks of his inaugurati­on without support from any government agency.
