<p>Confidence, focus and straightforwardness are some of the major reasons why 2027 political contest in Tarauni is increasingly becoming more interesting and more dicey. Race for the House of Representatives seat especially.</p>
<p>When the former Senior Special Assistant to the President, on Citizenship and Leadership, Hon Nasir Bala Ja&#8217;oji, declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat, against the current member, many keen political observers believe that, there are two major contenders now.</p>
<p>Ja&#8217;oji, according to many observers, is fast becoming one of the most fearless politicians within Kano metropolis. In the public eye, he was the first appointee to resign from his position, at the federal government level. The gut was seen as an asset, that cannot be purchase by every Tom, Dick and Harry.</p><div class="pHlVUBOc" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Political pundits accept that, with all his unmatched connection, at the top of the ladder, Ja&#8217;oji, believes that, searching for political soul mates, on top of his &#8220;save our souls&#8221; empowerment and interventions are necessary tools for political victory. So he is changing tactics now, and for better.</p>

<p>The thousands of supporters he was able to gather, yesterday Friday, for the declaration of his intention to contest, surprised many as being unprecedented and overwhelming. Though anticipated.</p>
<p>He started from Gadar Lado, on Zaria road, took to the street with procession, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Tarauni local government Secretariat, back to Zaria road to his base Ja&#8217;oji quarters. As dozens horse riders, thousands of supporters trekking and bike riders were chanting party slogan.</p>
<p>At the Secretariat he told the party leaders that his ambition &#8220;&#8230; is not borne out of mere ambition, but from deep sense of responsibility, commitment and consistent engagement with the people and the ideals of our great party.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ja&#8217;o&#8217;ji is someone with outright and unscathing love for APC&#8217;s strength and victory for all elections. He stresses this notion, when he said, &#8220;Over the past few years, I have remained steadfast in my loyalty and contributions to the growth, unity and electoral successes of our party at various levels.&#8221;</p>

<p>For the simple reason that, this rare gem, has so many advantages over his challengers, in the race, he typifies that, his experience serving as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Citizenship and Leadership, has further shaped his understanding of governance, nation building and inclusive leadership.</p>
<p>Adding that, &#8220;In that capacity, I contributed initiatives aimed at promoting civic responsibility, youth engagement, and leadership development across the country.&#8221;</p>
<p>During the declaration event youth and women constituted the larger part of the participants, who made the event more colorful and intimidating. Many of those who attended the event, were of the opinion that, it is now their turn to support Ja&#8217;o&#8217;ji realize his political dream victoriously.</p>
<p>Ja&#8217;oji is indeed second to none, as Tarauni electorate believe that, his long standing initiatives in empowering his people, are indelible in the face of Tarauni political reality. Hundreds of women and youth benefited from his grant schemes, where some hundreds beneficiaries collected One Million Naira (N1m) each to aid their economic engagement in the society. For the overall development of the state, as a whole.</p>
<p>Many hundreds benefited from his scholarship scheme at periodic intervals. Where he sponsored their higher education across tertiary institutions in the state. Apart from yearly assistance rendered to secondary school students for writing their Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations. And their second school leaving examinations, NECON and SSCE. Among many other programmes.</p>
<p>His intervention cuts across all segments of people in Tarauni and beyond. Sometimes not minding their political affiliation. That is why people are of the opinion that, Ja&#8217;oji could be marketable and sellable easily. As his pedigree informs this reality, for the past few years. Even before he started nurturing a political ambition. Which shows that, Ja&#8217;oji has been an ardent supporter for human progress and development. A sole action that endears him to the people. Particularly those at the grassroot. Genuine electorate at all levels.</p>
<p>With all his shortcomings, as a human being, as no human beings, apart from Prophets and Messengers of Allah, are infallible, meaning infallibility of human beings is assured and reassured in this life, Ja&#8217;oji has age over other would be contestants. As some political pundits observed.</p>
<p>His long presence in the life of his people, supercedes other contestants, especially those that are new into the system. As speculation suggests that, there are some people who are drafted and some are about to be drafted into the battleground. But electorate promised that their weight is already behind Ja&#8217;oji.</p>
<p>As Ja&#8217;oji advances with full force with his declaration of interest and as there are reports that, within the circle of those would be contestants&#8217; structures, some misunderstandings started emanating from within, Tarauni is about to breath well with Ja&#8217;o&#8217;ji as the rallying point.</p>
