Jalingo Chair Race: Dantsoho Promises Kefas-Level Governance, Training for Youths

A frontline chairmanship aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former member representing Jalingo I Constituency in the Taraba State House of Assembly, Hon. Nuru Dantsoho, has pledged to replicate Governor Agbu Kefas’ governance model in Jalingo Local Government if elected.

Addressing supporters, Dantsoho said his leadership blueprint is anchored on the five-point agenda of Governor Agbu Kefas, which include:
• Security, peace and unity
• Economy and job creation
• Education
• Healthcare
• Women and youth empowerment

He vowed to strengthen unity and peaceful coexistence among residents, emphasising that genuine development can only thrive in a harmonious environment.

“Our local government will reflect the peaceful, people-focused leadership style of His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas,” Dantsoho said. “We will bring unity to our communities and uphold respect for our traditional institutions.”

Dantsoho also promised massive investment in youth empowerment by sponsoring young people for vocational training and providing working tools for them afterward.

“No youth under my administration will be left idle,” he said. “We will build a skilled generation capable of creating wealth and contributing to Taraba’s development.”

He further assured traditional rulers of greater honour and support, describing them as strategic custodians of culture and peace at the grassroots.

With the general election held on Saturday, November 8, Dantsoho’s candidacy has continued to galvanize support across Jalingo, as his grassroots experience and alignment with Gov. Kefas’ development vision fuel optimism for sustained transformation at the local level.

THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE FOR EFFECTIVE JUSTICE DELIVERY By Hamza Nuhu Dantani, Esq. Constitutional Lawyer and Rights Activist. Every day across Nigeria, police officers risk their lives to arrest armed robbers, murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and violent criminals. Yet, time and again, these same criminals walk free, not because they are innocent, but because the system fails at a time it matters most: the courtroom. At the heart of this systemic failure lies a silent crisis—the grossly neglected legal department of the Nigeria Police Force. Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
