<p>Hamma made the appeal during a town hall meeting organised by the Garko Youth Movement for candidates seeking election to the House of Representatives to represent Wudil/Garko Federal Constituency in 2027.</p>
<p>He commended the youths for initiating the gathering, describing it as an opportunity for candidates to present their programmes and engage with the electorate on their plans for the constituency.</p>
<p>The former secretary to the state government stressed that unity and a clear political ideology were essential ingredients for development, urging the candidates and their supporters to avoid envy, division and personal interests that could undermine collective progress.</p><div class="bdLi5Ris" 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>“I want to draw the attention of the people to the fact that there can be no progress without unity and ideology. Do away with envy and remain committed to your ideology,” Hamma said.</p>

<p>He explained that commitment to principles had historically played an important role in shaping the reputation of prominent individuals, including traditional rulers and descendants of Prophet Muhammad, noting that their influence was not necessarily determined by their birth but by their adherence to their beliefs and principles.</p>
<p>Hamma urged the candidates to place their political ideologies and the interests of the people above personal ambitions, adding that collective commitment to shared principles could help communities achieve meaningful development.</p>
<p>He also emphasised that contesting an election against another candidate should not be regarded as a personal conflict, noting that all contestants had the right to seek public office and present themselves as potential servants of the people.</p>

<p>According to him, political competition should provide an opportunity for candidates to explain their plans for addressing the challenges facing their constituency rather than becoming a platform for personal attacks.</p>
<p>Hamma consequently advised the candidates to avoid mudslinging, verbal abuse and other forms of negative campaigning, urging them to conduct their political activities with decorum and respect for one another.</p>
<p>He maintained that the ultimate objective of seeking public office should be to serve the people and contribute to the development of the constituency.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Speaking at the event, the Acting Chairman of the Garko Youth Progressive, Anas Ibrahim Na Baffa, described the town hall meeting as a historic gathering, saying that such an initiative had never previously taken place in Garko.</p>
<p>Na Baffa expressed appreciation to the stakeholders who supported the initiative, particularly the candidates and teachers who contributed to making the meeting possible.</p>
<p>He said the organisers were grateful for the cooperation they received from various stakeholders, adding that their participation demonstrated a shared interest in discussing the future of the area.</p>
<p>According to him, the meeting was not organised to undermine or discredit any candidate but to provide a common platform for discussing ideas and identifying practical ways to develop Garko and the wider federal constituency.</p>
<p>He explained that the organisers wanted the candidates to engage with the people, outline their priorities and demonstrate how they intended to address the challenges confronting the constituency if elected.</p>
<p>The meeting attracted more than 10 candidates aspiring to represent Wudil/Garko Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives in the 2027 general elections.</p>
<p>The candidates used the platform to present their views and explain the programmes they intended to implement if elected.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Among the candidates who presented their programmes was the candidate of the People&#8217;s Redemption Party (PRP), Rufai Dagumawa, who promised to prioritise the rehabilitation of drainage infrastructure in Garko Local Government Area if elected.</p>
<p>Dagumawa said he would work towards overhauling the area&#8217;s drainage system to address drainage-related challenges and improve local infrastructure.</p>
<p>He also pledged to promote information and communication technology (ICT) in Garko Local Government Area, with a view to supporting digital development and expanding opportunities for residents.</p>
<p>In addition, the PRP candidate promised to establish a rice mill as part of his proposed economic development initiatives, saying the project would support agricultural activities and contribute to local economic growth.</p>
<p>The town hall meeting provided an opportunity for the candidates to present their proposed policies and development priorities as political activities gradually build towards the 2027 general elections.</p>
<p>The organisers said the initiative was intended to encourage constructive political engagement and place the development needs of Wudil/Garko Federal Constituency at the centre of discussions among aspiring representatives.</p>
