From: Ahmed Ilallah
Established in 1991, Jigawa State is categorized as a predominantly rural entity, given that the majority of its local government councils are situated in quintessential rural locales, including the state capital.
The undertaking represents a monumental endeavor for the populace of the state in developing human capital indices, thereby augmenting the livelihoods and economic well-being of its citizens.
The trajectory is relatively promising, attributable to the legacies of preceding administrations. Presently, Jigawa State excels in certain dimensions compared to numerous other states within the nation.
The current administration, under the stewardship of Malam Umar Namadi, has formulated a twelve-point agenda aimed at consolidating and perpetuating the commendable initiatives of previous administrations to forge a more prosperous Jigawa.
The recent deleterious crises aimed at fomenting discord within the ruling party, the APC, transcend mere political maneuvering. These tribulations are obstructing the current administration’s efforts to foster meaningful development in Jigawa.
From a political standpoint, it is ethically reprehensible to disregard the authority of party leadership.
The APC is functioning under a presidential system, wherein the President serves as both the party leader and the paramount authority within this framework. The Governor of the state similarly assumes the role of party leader at the state level, holding a position of supremacy within the hierarchy.
Politics and political leadership do not operate as a feudal system; there exists no continuum of dictatorship.
Any disruptions contrived under the guise of politics that divert attention from the administration’s imperative to address the pressing needs of the Jigawa populace must be resolutely confronted.
