The National Gade Youth Assembly (NGYA), one of the indigenous tribes of the FCT, have gone public with their support for Usman Jibrin Wowo to contest for the FCT senate seat in next year’s general elections, going against fellow indigene group the Greater Gbagyi Development Initiative (GGDI) who have withdrawn their support for the Senator.
But NGYA’s president, Comrade Baba M. Sani, told newsmen in Abuja yesterday to disregard a media publication by the Gbagyi collective titled ‘Indigenes reject Wowo,’ stating that no indigene of FCT has rejected Senator Wowo’s bid.
Comrade Sani said that as far as the Gade Youth Assembly is concerned, the Gbagyi group are on their own, and praised the former senator’s efforts while representing the FCT during his short stay at the senate.
“The Gbagyi have no mandate that will make them reject our brother. If they believe that Senator Wowo is not representing them, we the Gades and other original inhabitants tribes believe that Senator Wowo will be representing us in 2015,” he said.
NGYI said that it was a shame that the one the Gbagyis say they recognize is not doing enough for the FCT.
“When the women of Gosa village were protesting the evil called demolition of their ancestral home, what did the greater Gbagyi do about it?” he asked.
