As political alignment and realignment continue to dominate the 2023 post elections landscape, Arewa Network of Social Reformers, on Tuesday, made called on President Bola Tinubu to consider a Senator who represented the Southern senatorial zone of Adamawa State in the 8th Assembly, Ahmad Abubakar MuAllahyidi, for a ministerial slot.
Addressing newsmen in Kaduna, the Chairman of the group, Engr. Idris Musa argued that Adamawa State deserves the best representation and the best Mr President required to actualise his renewed hope agenda.
To him, Sen MuAllahyidi is a quintessential political technocrat who has made a mark in the politics of the state.
According to Idris, “the hardworking senator convened and led a forum of politicians, technocrats, academics, development experts, youth and women under the aegis of Arewa New Agenda, (ANA) in the run-up to the Presidential primaries of the APC to provide civil society support to the ceding of the presidential slot to southern Nigeria, which paved way for the emergence of President Tinubu as the candidate of the APC in the 2023 elections.
“He deployed human material resources to lead ANA in the series of undertakings that contributed immensely to the success at the 2023 polls.
“Under his leadership, ANA mobilised over 126 community-based organisations across the 19 northern states to campaign in the nooks and crannies of northern Nigeria, especially amongst the Fulbe and other minority populations in the hard-to-reach communities to support and vote for President Bola Tinubu.
“The exploits of ANA in defending and projecting the legendary achievements of President Tinubu (Candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he then was) was not only vehement and consistent, but was convincingly persuasive as the forum articulated the message in the most subtle and presentable manner acceptable to the Nigerian people,” the chairman added.
“Senator MuAllahyidi may not be the type to blow his own trumpet or make a public declaration of the desire to occupy a ministerial position as he is not known to quibble for appointments, but it suffices to say that those who are aware of his suitability need to come forward with this kind of expose to enable the administration make the choice that will contribute to its delivery of the good that the Nigerian people expect and are looking up to.
“Senator Muallahyidi an experienced Quantity Surveyor and Construction Management specialist; served in the 8th Senate as Vice Chairman Committee on Oil & Gas, Vice Chairman of Culture and Tourism, member of Banking and Other Financial Institutions, member of Education (Basic & Secondary) and Member Legislative Compliance.
“Currently he leads the facility Management outfit taking charge of the International Conference Center, the Eagle Square in Abuja; Murtala Muhammed Square in Kaduna, Kaduna International Trade & Investment Centre, (Trade Fair Complex) and Network Housing Estate, Lekki Peninsula Phase, Lagos and Nigerian Army Strategic Bulk Storage Facility in Enugu.
“In everything he does, quality is the first word. Part of his mantra for excellence, is “No work is insignificant; all labour that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence,” Idris added.
