Lassa Yusuf Tampe, the All Progressives Congress’s chairmanship candidate for Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has been described as the most qualified.

Many who spoke to newsmen were of the view that of the lot contesting for the chairmanship of Kwali Area Council, Tampe stands tall.

Amina Abubakar, a school teacher said: “I will vote for Lassa Tampe because of his dedication and simplicity. This man has proved that politicians can afford the pitfalls of being selfish if they are able to tame their greed.”

Professor Adeagbo Moritiwon, a political scientist based in Kwali, noted that: “Tampe is the man to beat. That is why I will always advise politicians to remember the people that voted for them because they will still need them. I’m yet to see anyone who has spoken ill of Tampe. Let us see how the contest for Kwali Area Council chairmanship go”

Tampe insists that the challenge before many of Nigerian politicians is how to separate personal interests from public good.

“We should remember that being in politics is a trust that we must not betray, the people trusted us that’s why they voted for us. The onus is now in us not to betray the trust. It is like a contractual pact between the people and the elected office holders.”

He has assisted the Chairman of Kwali Area Council in delivering dividends of democracy to the electorates in the core sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, among which are establishment of mechanic village, 12 primary schools, Yangoji Koroko modern market, adult education classes, 10 health centres among other
