In a resounding display of unity and confidence, prominent stakeholders and grassroots supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lere West have thrown their weight behind Hon. Tom Garba, declaring him the undisputed choice to fly the party’s flag for the Kaduna State House of Assembly.
As the APC prepares for crucial primaries, a powerful coalition of leaders, youths, women, and traditional influencers insists that fielding Hon. Tom Garba is not just strategic but imperative for securing victory in Lere West. They describe him as a tested, accessible, and development-focused leader whose popularity cuts across ethnic, religious, and social lines.
Speaking passionately to journalists, Mr. Nehemiah, a respected party member, said: “Hon. Tom Garba represents the future we desire. His track record of empowering youths and supporting youths is unmatched. He listens to the people and delivers results. If APC is serious about winning Lere West convincingly, Tom Garba is the man for the job.”
Madam Jummai, another APC stalward in the area, echoed this sentiment with equal conviction. “Our women and mothers have suffered enough from poor representation. Tom Garba is different. He has empowered many widows, supported girl-child education, and ensured women have a voice. We stand solidly behind him. APC should listen to the voice of the people and give him the ticket without delay,” she declared.
Mallam Umar, a prominent elder, highlighted Garba’s appeal among the younger generation. “The youths of Lere West are energized by Hon. Tom Garba. He understands our struggles with unemployment and lack of skills. Through his various interventions, many have gained training and start-up support. He is our candidate. Any other choice risks alienating the critical voting bloc that decides elections,” Mallam Umar asserted.
Adding his voice, Alhaji Ibrahim, a respected community elder with deep influence across the local government, emphasized Garba’s unifying factor. “In Lere West, we need a candidate who brings people together. Tom Garba has built bridges where others built walls. He is respected by both Muslims and Christians, farmers and traders alike. He is the peace we need and the development we deserve,” Alhaji Ibrahim noted.
Master Jauro, a vocal representative of the younger artisans and market leaders, was equally enthusiastic: “Hon. Tom Garba does not make empty promises. What he says, he does. From support for small businesses and other meaning empowment, his impact is visible. The ticket must go to him so we can continue this progress under APC,” he said.
Reinforcing the growing consensus, an APC stalwart, Hajia Salamatu, captured the mood of the moment: “If APC wants to win Lere West, Tom Garba is the candidate no two ways about it because he is loved by all across the local government.”
Supporters point to Hon. Tom Garba’s impressive credentials. A seasoned politician with a heart for service, he has consistently championed youth empowerment, agricultural support, and women’s inclusion. His accessibility has earned him admiration even from opposition strongholds, positioning him as a candidate capable of delivering a landslide victory.
Analysts believe that in an increasingly competitive political landscape, APC cannot afford to ignore the voice of the people. Lere West remains a strategic constituency, and fielding a candidate with broad acceptability like Hon. Tom Garba could consolidate APC’s hold on Kaduna State.
As the countdown to the primaries intensifies, the message from Lere West is loud and clear: Hon. Tom Garba is the winning ticket. Stakeholders urge the APC leadership at both state and national levels to heed the clarion call of the people and formally endorse him as the party’s candidate for the Kaduna State House of Assembly seat in Lere West.
The overwhelming endorsement reflects not just political calculation but a genuine desire for continued progress. With Tom Garba at the helm, supporters are confident that Lere West will witness unprecedented development and that APC will secure a decisive victory in the upcoming elections.
