Jega, business mogul submits Reps form

A business tycoon and philanthropist, Alhaji Mansur Musa Jega has submitted his nomination form to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, to represent Jega, Alieru and Gwandu federal constituency of Birnin Kebbi.

He was received by the officials of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), state secretariat, a platform he intends to use in vying for the position.

The House of Representatives hopeful told the state chairman, Arch Bala Sani Kangiwa that his visit to the party office was to declare his intention to contest the post of a member House of Representatives comprising Jega, Alieru and Gwandu federal constituencies.

According to him, he was moved by the poor representation that his people are currently experiencing, which includes youths neglect, decaying infrastructure and lack of attention to the constituents after polls.

He added that youths neglect is a like a time bomb that if not properly addressed can explode to affect the whole society.
