A front line contender for the position of Speaker of the 10th House of Representatives, RT. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, on Tuesday, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Senator Kashim Shettima, have what it takes to correct the wrongs done by previous administrations.

Gagdi, who currently represents the people of Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency of Plateau State in the 9th House of Representatives, in a congratulatory message personally signed Tuesday night, expressed great confidence in the newly inaugurated Federal Government under Tinubu, saying, with his dexterity in governance and leadership, Nigeria was on a path to positive change.

“The new President has the capacity to right the wrongs of previous administrations and ensure that competent hands are engaged to revive comatose sectors of the country”, he said.

The Lawmaker who doubles as the Chairman, House Committee on Navy, added that President Tinubu’s political journey to the presidency was a deeply inspirational one that proves that, with grit, sincerity of purpose, absolute trust in God and an unwavering commitment to empowering others, one can attain the greatest heights.

He expressed confidence in his ability to deliver on the promise of democracy to the Nigerian people because his track record shows excellence and dedication to duty.

Going further, he saluted Vice President Kashim Shettima, who he said led Borno State at the darkest and most difficult of times, and did not for once, desert his people or renege on his responsibilities.

According to him, “These are leaders who have demonstrated their commitment to our great country, and as President and Vice-President, our hope in a prosperous and peaceful Nigeria that works for all citizens irrespective of class, ethnicity and religion has indeed been renewed.

“President Tinubu has proven that with grit, sincerity of purpose, absolute trust in God and an unwavering commitment to empowering others, one can attain the greatest heights.

“I am confident in his ability to deliver on the promise of democracy to the Nigerian people because his track record is one of excellence and dedication to duty.

“With His Excellency, Vice President Kashim by his side, I believe Nigerians can now rest, knowing that the country is in safe hands”.

A prominent grassroots mobilizer and seasoned politician, Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman, has been elected as the State Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Her emergence was confirmed during the party’s State Congress held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja.

The congress, which was peaceful and well-attended by delegates from across the FCT, marked a significant turning point for the party’s leadership. Several key officials were elected into various strategic roles, with Hon. Gloria’s victory standing out as a reflection of the party’s growing emphasis on inclusive leadership and grassroots empowerment.

Gloria Sarauniya is widely respected within political circles for her unwavering commitment to party ideals and her dedication to community development. Before joining the SDP, she served as Deputy National Contact and Mobilization Secretary of the PDP Professional and Business Group (PDPPBG), where she championed professional engagement and grassroots outreach.

Her election as State Secretary is being celebrated across the party as a boost to internal coordination and strategic planning. Known for her humility, administrative acumen, and passion for social inclusion, Gloria has consistently played pivotal roles in mobilizing support for the party across the six area councils of the FCT.

Speaking with JOWBBLOG, party stakeholders described her as “an astute politician, a tireless organizer, and a voice for women and youth in the political space.” One delegate remarked: “She deserves this position. Hon. Gloria Sarauniya has been a pillar in the party, always working behind the scenes to promote its values and strengthen its foundation—even when it wasn’t politically convenient.”

Her leadership as State Secretary is expected to usher in a new era of efficiency, inclusivity, and robust mobilization efforts, positioning the SDP for greater electoral success in the FCT.

With Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman now occupying one of the most strategic roles in the state chapter, party observers believe the SDP is better equipped to consolidate its grassroots presence and expand its influence in upcoming elections.
