POLITICS:Bali/Gassol Coalition Endorses Ja'afaru Yakubu for Continuity, Hails Impactful Representation.

By our reporter.

The Coalition for Good Governance in Bali/Gassol Federal Constituency has thrown its weight behind the lawmaker representing the constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ja’afaru Yakubu, urging him to seek continuity in 2027.

In a statement made available to journalists in Gassol, the coalition said Yakubu had performed far beyond expectations since his election, describing his stewardship as a benchmark in effective representation.

The group noted that the lawmaker had made remarkable impact through legislative advocacy, constituency projects and youth empowerment, thereby improving the living conditions of the people.

They highlighted his interventions in infrastructure, education and social welfare, which they said had brought tangible relief to several communities, including hard-to-reach areas that had long been neglected.

According to the coalition, Yakubu’s inclusive approach and commitment to grassroots development had distinguished him from past representatives, restoring public confidence in elective office.

They therefore urged him to heed what they described as the “overwhelming demand” of constituents to consolidate on the gains already recorded and move the constituency to greater heights.

The statement added that the endorsement was not only a reflection of Yakubu’s accomplishments but also an expression of the people’s desire for sustained development and purposeful leadership beyond 2027.
