A popular tricycle (Keke) rider in Jos, Bevuk Dokgak Ishaya, marked the birthday of the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Dewan Kudangbena Gabriel, with a generous show of community support in Pankshin town.
To commemorate the Speaker’s special day, Bevuk provided free fuel to over 50 commercial motorcyclists and also bought out food from a local eatery frequently visited by the Speaker, distributing the meals to those present at the location.
Speaking on his motivation, Bevuk said the gesture was his way of celebrating the Speaker’s positive impact and urged beneficiaries to show appreciation through prayers.
“This is my little way of honoring the Speaker for his efforts. I want people to pray for him,” he said.
This is not the first time Bevuk has marked a public official’s birthday with such goodwill. In a similar move, he offered free tricycle rides to commuters in Jos to celebrate the birthday of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang. That gesture, he noted, was inspired by the Governor’s contributions to improving the transport sector.
Interestingly, both Bevuk and the Speaker hail from Wokkos District in Pankshin Local Government Area. He described Rt. Hon. Dewan as a youthful leader and role model whose leadership style and antecedents inspire him deeply.
Bevuk’s consistent acts of kindness have earned him recognition among locals, using his humble profession to show appreciation and foster community solidarity.
