The Member representing Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam Federal Constituency, Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has presented his stewardship scorecard, outlining his legislative achievements, constituency projects, and political direction ahead of the 2027 elections.

Gagdi, who also serves as Chairman of the House Committee on Navy, made the presentation on Saturday, April 25, 2026, during a media parley with journalists, bloggers, content creators, and other media practitioners at his residence in Rayfield, Jos.

Highlighting his performance in the Green Chamber, the lawmaker disclosed that he has sponsored 58 bills at the National Assembly, with six already signed into law by the President. Key among them are the conversion of the Federal College of Education, Pankshin into a Federal University of Education, amendments to the Police Act, and the establishment of both the Admiralty University in Delta State and the National Hydrographic Agency.

On constituency development, Gagdi said his office has facilitated employment opportunities for thousands of constituents in federal agencies. He also pointed to major infrastructure strides across PKK, including the rehabilitation of nine roads in Pankshin, construction of 16 roads in Kanam, and ongoing work on 38 small bridges and three major bridges. Additional interventions include access to potable water and various empowerment programmes.

The lawmaker further revealed that financial support has been extended to educational institutions, including the Federal University in Pankshin, to support their growth and expansion.

Addressing allegations of bias in job placements, Gagdi dismissed claims of religious favoritism, insisting that opportunities are based strictly on merit.

“Employment opportunities are based on competence and credibility, not religion. Both Christians and Muslims have benefited,” he stated.

Gagdi also used the occasion to declare his support for Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, endorsing his bid for a second term. He cited ongoing infrastructure projects, particularly road construction across Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam, as evidence of the governor’s performance.

“My support is driven by the interest of the people. The governor has demonstrated commitment through visible projects,” he said.

On the issue of zoning, Gagdi expressed confidence in his chances of re-election in 2027, emphasizing that the Nigerian Constitution places no limit on how many times he can contest. He urged political opponents to focus on ideas rather than sentiments.

Reaffirming his commitment to service, the lawmaker pledged to continue advancing development initiatives and fostering national unity. He noted that attracting federal institutions to the constituency remains a key strategy for boosting local growth and expanding opportunities.

Gagdi also called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, acknowledging that while current policies may be challenging, they are aimed at delivering long-term benefits.

First elected in 2019 and re-elected in 2023, Gagdi has maintained a strong presence in his constituency. As political activities gradually build toward 2027, his performance record and grassroots engagement are expected to play a decisive role in shaping the race in PKK.
