The two transformers (500KVA and 300KVA)were donated to Gadan Mai Saje, a community which has been in existence for about 70 years without power supply as well as Kanjara in fulfillment of his promises to the communities.
Gadan Mai Saje community, according to the inhabitants, is one kilometer away from the headquarters of Gombi Local Government Area, but it has been without power supply for about 70 years, and appreciated the Lawmaker for his effort to connecting it with power supply.
Hon. Japheth had sometimes in the past donated two transformers to Jau and Pirkasa communities in the same Local Government Area.
Addressing the people of Gadan Mai Saje, while donating of the the transformers, Hon. Japhet Kefas, told them that his decision to supply them with the transformer was in fulfillment of his campaign promises, saying that when he came to the community for his campaign, the people pleaded with him to assist them with it.
Hon. Japheth Kefas informed them that the transformer will supply the entire community and beyond with electricity, saying that the gesture will go along way in improving their living standard.
He disclosed that the teeming electorate had given him their votes in order to do justice to them in his representation, saying that it became necessary for him to do everything possible to deliver on his campaign promises.
According to him, the reason why some politicians become miserable after leaving their offices is because they lifted up their hands and promised to do justice to all but could not do so, and promised to facilitate/lobby for the employment of their sons and daughters as well as empowerment of the women folk.
While at Kanjara, the Legislator said that the inhabitants of the community pleaded with him during his campaign to supply them with the transformer, hence his decision to fulfill the promise he made to them, and thanked God for the opportunity given to him to deliver on his promises.
He said that though Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has a lot of activities to do across the 21 Local Government Areas, but promised not to relent in lobbying towards ensuring that the broken Kanjara bridge is fixed as promised during campaign by the Governor himself.
On the recent loan facility the house approved for the Governor, Hon. Japheth explained that the decision by the Governor to borrow became absolutely necessary due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, saying that disease has affected the economy of the world, the nation and down to the state, and that the government was left with no option than to secure loan so as to execute capital projects.
He noted that the house of assembly considered the economic situation of the state and found it necessary to approve his request to access the loan facility, stating that the facility will be used to execute capital projects like schools and hospitals and not for salaries.
Earlier, in his remarks, the Chairman Gombi LGC, Dimas Shekel who was represented by the Vice Chairman, Hon. Yahaya Umaru commended the member for his sacrifice, saying that if the transformers are fixed will go along way in enhancing the living standard of the citizens.
On his part, the Chairman Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Gombi LGA, Hon. Kawu Sadiq observed that the electorate had voted for the right person, describing him as tasted and trusted politician who has the love of his people at heart.
Baring his mind, a stakeholder of Gada Mai Saje, Mallam Sani Yusuf said that Hon. Japheth has set a record in the community to be the first lawmaker to supply them with the transformer, saying that community has been in existence for about 70 years without electricity.
Mallam Sani Yusuf assured the Member that the entire community is 100 percent behind him and they are willing to do whatever he asks them to do, and advised the community to make effective use of the transformer.
Also speaking, the Village Head of Kajara, Alhaji Barkindo Idris appreciated the member for the kind gesture and called on his subjects to rally round him to enable him succeed in his representation.
