Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, Alhaji Mukhtar Galadima, has unveiled a development roadmap focused on healthcare, completion of abandoned projects and economic growth.
Galadima announced the roadmap on Thursday in Abuja during the official commencement of his campaign activities.
He said his agenda is anchored on healthcare, agriculture and unity, with emphasis on people-oriented legislative representation.
The PDP candidate pledged to champion legislative initiatives to facilitate the completion of the Ibi Bridge project, awarded in 2020 but still incomplete.
He also promised to strengthen community security through an inclusive approach that will localize security frameworks and enable communities to respond to threats affecting residents, farmers and businesses.
On the economy, Galadima said he would support policies to increase youth participation in the digital economy, create incentives for Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises (SMEs), and stimulate local growth.
Galadima lamented the poor state of infrastructure in Southern Taraba, noting that all major roads leading into the area are in bad condition.
“All the roads leading to Southern Taraba are in poor condition. From the Plateau State axis, it is the same situation, and from other parts of the state, the challenges are also similar,” he said.
He said his campaign will prioritise initiatives that improve living conditions and foster sustainable development across Wukari/Ibi.
“By the grace of God, we will ensure that there is peace, unity and stability in our area. We will also focus on empowering our youth and women, as well as creating opportunities for employment.
“Through legislation and collaboration, we will work to provide affordable healthcare for our people. Our vision is to improve the living conditions of our people through effective legislation. We will also strengthen peace and stability through dialogue and collaboration.
“Yes, we are not executives; we are legislators. But, by the grace of God, through dialogue, collaboration, consultation and cooperation, we can attract development to our area and improve the lives of our people,” Galadima said.
He added that his representation would be guided by inclusiveness, accountability and service to constituents.
