Ambassador Gary Kim Wayas Joins Barkin Ladi/Riyom Reps Race
Hon. Gary Kim Wayas has officially declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat to represent Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wayas made the declaration through a statement shared on his Facebook account after what he described as deep reflection and extensive consultations with stakeholders, family members, friends, and party supporters.
According to him, his decision to join the race was inspired by the need to provide purposeful representation for the people of the constituency at a critical moment in its history.
He stated that leadership must remain rooted in principle, accountability, responsibility, and selfless service to the people, stressing that the constituency deserves committed and visionary representation.
The aspirant also expressed concern over the lingering insecurity affecting communities within Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local Government Areas, noting that the situation has caused pain, losses, and hardship for many families.
Wayas said the prolonged security challenges facing the area require courageous leadership and deliberate action aimed at restoring peace and improving the lives of residents.
“Our communities have suffered prolonged insecurity for far too long, placing us on the wrong side of history,” he stated.
“The pain, losses, and challenges faced by our people demand courageous leadership and deliberate action. My commitment to the collective peace, security, and progress of our constituency remains unwavering and deeply personal,” he added.
He further pledged to work tirelessly towards building a safer, more united, and prosperous constituency if given the opportunity to serve in the National Assembly.
“With humility, dedication, and a clear sense of purpose, I offer myself for this responsibility,” Wayas said.
His declaration has added momentum to the growing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections in Plateau State, especially within the Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency where political consultations and alignments are gradually intensifying.

Super Falcons Were Determined To Win, But Lost To South Africa Because Of Individual Errors – Madugu
Nigeria’s female national team, Super Falcons’ head coach, Justine Madugu has blamed his side’s loss to South Africa on individual errors by some of his players, but conceded that he has to take full responsibility for the defeat.
Sports247 reports that Thursday night’s 2-1 slump in Casablanca, Morocco means the Falcons have failed to reach the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time since it’s inception in 1991 and Madugu admitted he deeply regrets the setback.

He, however, commended his players for what he described as their gallant efforts and determination, then repeatedly apologised for the unprecedented yet historic setback at this year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON 2026).
“I have to apologise to Nigerians for our inability to make it to the World Cup,” said the WAFCON 2024 winner in the same North African country. “We are very sorry, because it was not our intention to lose.
“Our players were determined to win, and they gave their all, but individual errors cost us the game. I am sorry and I take full responsibility for what happened, but there will always be a next time.”
Madugu continued to reflect on what went wrong during the play-off fixture, which was a last chance for the Falcons to stay in the race to Brazil 2027, and the embattled tactician admitted that his players lost too many scoring chances during the game.
“There were individual errors in terms of decision making. We had some chances but conversion was our problem. We were determined to win and it’s something that we really regret.
“We wanted to win, but we could; and we are sorry about it. This is something that has happened already, and there’s nothing we can do about it. I am sorry,” Madugu reiterated lamely.
