Dan Amos (PDP-Kaduna) says the administration of President Bola Tinubu will make Nigeria great.

“There’s hope for our dear nation under President Tinubu. The president has settled down really well. We are very hopeful that this president is going to be a president for everyone,” stated the federal legislator. 

Mr Amos stressed, “The average Southern Kaduna man must be grateful to the president because he has given us the number one military officer. The chief of defence staff is one of us and it shows that Mr President means well for Southern Kaduna people.”

Mr Amos, representing the Jema’a/Sanga federal constituency at the National Assembly, said this on the sidelines of a meeting with PDP stakeholders from his constituency in Kafanchan.

The lawmaker assured “all Nigerians that the 10th Assembly is committed to enacting laws that have direct bearing on the masses.”

“Already, we have moved motions and passed bills that will help stabilise the country and put food on the tables of ordinary Nigerians,” he said.

Mr Amos also mentioned that the federal government would establish three federal technical colleges in Kaduna, one of which would be sited in his constituency.

“It’s a special project with special funding, so it’s not waiting for any budget. Each of the colleges will have a kick-off grant of N1 billion. The college in my constituency will be called Federal Technical College, Kogom Dutse,” Mr Amos disclosed. “There will be classrooms, workshops and laboratories and work on the project will likely begin next January.”

He dedicated the recent appeal court judgement affirming his electoral victory to his constituents, adding that God gave his mandate through the people.

“Our victory was never in doubt. We knew even before they contemplated going to the tribunal that we were going to win,” added Mr Amos. “The judgment further confirms that our mandate was given by God through the people and it was never going to be taken by anyone.”
