*adding values to lives with his act of kindness
By; TOM GARBA
Adamawa, North East Nigeria is blessed to have an indomitable young man. A leader whose political records have broken many records of his contemporaries as a young political-focused-minded person.
Alhaji Hamisu Idris Medugu is an expert in financial matters, a philanthropist and respectable consultant who owns conglomerates of consulting firms but until recently, he turned and was recognized as a political master schemer whose virtues many describe as a legendary young leader in the person of Sardauna of our time.
The Adamawa-born is a tiger of masses emancipation when he became a man in the business of empowering young Nigerians, especially those in the Adamawa Northern Senatorial District.
His performance in the area of job creation was a record that today is beyond the capacity of other lovers of his dear state, an area which was initially displaced because of insurgents activities.
Throughout his life, Medugu’s many contributions to humanity remain a reference of leadership credence that will be better utilized at the red chambers (Senate). It is on record that his strength is measured up in serving his people as a good representative at the National Assembly as his point of call. This is where he can do the best, perform and release his full potentials as a good leader.
While not a national lawmaker, he empowered, he created jobs, provided opportunities, and did a lot of projects connected to health and education. Everyone, everywhere Medugu is talking of the town that the termagant of the masses liberation has come to serve humanity.
In 2021 was a page of his political journey unveiled with the young, old, and people of diverse races and clans in Adamawa have seen him a promising young chap with no traces of religions, tribal sentiments, void of nepotism.
Joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) as his party of sure banker to serve humanity with a delegates structure of the masses, who are his good wills pushing his agenda is what is changing the arithmetic thinking of political pundits that from the blues a man with people’s mandate has come to tell another story.
Scholars of politics kept on wondering how comes the magic behind Idris’ political strength made him be winning the heart of the Adamawa people. Unknown to all political students the young man won their heart, not because of any political father, but because his work for the masses is behind him pushing him toward the noble course.
Take it or leave it Hamisu is one man politician whose closeness to the grassroots politician and direct electoral voters stands tall than any, there is none of his second in Adamawa in terms of constant touch with the electorates.
At the moment, his line of duty as a philanthropist in Adamawa does not only stop there, but he crossed the bar for his goodwill extending it to other states in the country. He helped thousands of farmers with fertilizers across the state. He empowered many with business capital and skills acquisitions in many local government areas of the state.
Hamisu is now seen as the super supporter of the masses who is having the idea of sponsoring people-oriented bills, having constituency projects in the area of agriculture, education, empowerment, and social services like the provision of water in many communities lacking such, renovation of health and schools infrastructures in his blueprint agenda to salvage his constituency. This is where his strength will be laying and hovering around.
Plus or minus, take it or leave it, Idris has bought the people’s conscience with his good works. Not because of his much involvement in the process of party politics but because of his good political will of working for the masses.
At the venue of the recent congresses of APC in Yola in his absence, many of the delegates kept on chanting “sai Hamisu. Shi zamu Yi, Medugu Mai Yi ne. (is our leader of choice at all times).
With his name, his political scheming ability, and what he has done and still doing, it’s not a surprise or arguably seen that nobody either in Abuja or Yola even those feeling that they control the party from the presidency seat of power will beat Hamisu because his pure heart is answering the call of many people. I know this, when it comes to the votes of the electorate, hundreds of times and at many times they will prefer Idris.
My line of thinking, therefore, APC critical stakeholders should unite to politically save the party from collapse, that the likes of Idris and many others are the saving grace of the party. Fighting or trying to scheme him out of the party system is unfortunate to say is harm being done to the party rather than good. But for Hamisu whatever the side of the coin faces is a smooth ride on to his next political journey. Meaning he will have a smooth rocking right in 2023 whatever the game turns out to be because he endeared himself to the masses.
A word they said is enough to a wise person and a stitch in times saves nine. Let APC have a good thinking package to save the party in the interest of all party loyalists supporting Hamisu come 2023.
