Daily Rendezvous

The Adamawa lawmaker representing Gombi/Hong at the federal house of representatives, Yusuf Buba Yakub, had called for wider participation of political stakeholders towards deepening the gains of democracy across the country.

Buba said wider participation by all stakeholders to address the developmental needs in his constituency, has become critical and paramount.

Buba Yakub Said, "I' have sunk over 300 hundred boreholes across my onstituency."

Speaking against the backdrop of pictures making the rounds on the social media depicting acute water shortages in Kulda, a village in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Yusuf Buba Yakub says, "I Have personally sunk over 300 boreholes in the entire Federal Constituency and other stakeholders have to contribute their quota."

Buba in a statement issued by his media aide, Nkem Anyata-Lafia, "As at the last count, I have sunk over 300 boreholes personally in the whole of the Constituency."This represents one borehole for each of the 254 Polling Units of the Constituency.

"If the Local Government Area whose primary responsibility is to provide such basic needs of the people like water, primary health care and rural roads can do half of what I have done, such villages like Kulda and the reported lack of water will not be existing in Hong LGA or in any part of the Constituency today."I am proactive and developmentally minded that was why I set up the Captain Buba Industrial Village to train and empower Constituents in various skills.

"But this is a clarion call by all principal stakeholders in the State, Local and National leadership spectra to do more to develop their land and offer a new lease of life to the people.

"Some few weeks ago, the Member representing the area had flagged off a number of projects and commissioned some completed ones; one of which was at the behest of President Muhammadu Buhari.

"Some of these projects, included a hospital project at Gombi North, a flood and an erosion- control project, a road project, a water project at Gombi, Garkida, Hong, Pella, Uba, among other areas.

"It was important to highlight some of the above realities in the light of the prevailing circumstances in some areas of the Constituency and as part of efforts towards addressing part of the infrastructural deficits in the area and more commitment was required by all to achieve comprehensive results."
