Gombe Labour Party Gubernatorial Candidate, Amuga, praises General T.Y. Danjuma on his 85th birthday.

In a heartfelt message on Saturday, Keftin Amuga, the 2023 Gombe State Labour Party gubernatorial candidate and State Chairman of the Gombe State Middle Belt Forum, extended warm wishes to General Theophilus Danjuma (retd.) on his 85th birthday.

In a message signed by Amuga, he expressed admiration for the Octogenarian, hailing him as a leader and mentor.

Amuga, reflecting on the journey that commenced with the formation of the Political Association of the People’s Solidarity Party in 1989, spoke of the unregistered yet acclaimed party’s massive electoral acceptance nationwide during the inception of the Second Republic Democratic dispensation. He credited Danjuma for inspiring him with his qualities.

“Since you piloted us in the formation of the then Political Association of the People’s Solidarity Party (PSP, which should have won the general election at the inception of the Second Republic had it been registered, I became inspired by your love for the Nigerian nation irrespective of primordial cleavages,” remarked Amuga.

He revealed that Danjuma’s wisdom and courage played a pivotal role in guiding his political endeavours, stating, “My leader’s profound understanding and unwavering strength of character have served as a beacon of inspiration for me and countless others.”

Amuga went on to express his belief that had General T.Y. Danjuma accepted the presidency of Nigeria, the country might have avoided its current catastrophic state. However, he conveyed his unwavering confidence in Danjuma’s ability to continue leading with vigour, not only in the entire Middle Belt Region but also nationally.

Acknowledging Danjuma’s love for Nigeria beyond tribal affiliations, Amuga stated, “His resolute stand on the unity of the Nigerian nation is unwavering and non-negotiable. Gen. T.Y. Danjuma’s steadfast dedication to combating the oppression of the less privileged and his unwavering readiness to uplift the downtrodden. These qualities exemplify his unwavering commitment to social justice and equality,” concluded Amuga.
