The Taraba State Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Dr. David Ishaya Kassa, has announced plans to contest the vacant Jalingo/Yorro/Zing federal constituency seat in the forthcoming bye election in the constituency.
Kassa, who contested the Peoples Democratic Party primary election for Taraba North Senatorial zone in the just concluded election, made the declaration when he received over 100 youths from Zing, Yorro and Jalingo who visited him in Jalingo and called on him to contest for the seat.
The seat for the Jalingo/Yorro/Zing became vacant following the death of the member-elect for the constituency Hon. Ismaila Maihanci.
Kassa, speaking to the youths said, “The people of Jalingo/Yorro/Zing deserve good leadership both at the state and national level and I represent that voice and leadership that would drive the needed positive change in the area.
“My service to the people of Taraba as Commissioner for Agriculture and the leadership I provided can be attested to by all who have come close to me.
“If given the mandate I will work closely with the PDP led government at the State level and bring dividends of democracy to the people of Jalingo/Yorro/Zing,” he pledged.
