Politics: Adamawa Senator Donates 500KVA Transformer to Southern Communities

By Umar Dankano, Yola.

YOLA; Senator Binos Dauda Yaroe of the Adamawa Southern Senatorial District has presented a donation of a 500KVA transformer to Ganye community in an
effort to address epilative power supply in Ganye local government area of Adamawa state.

Similar interventions were also extended to thirteen (13) communities across the southern senatorial district which suffers power supply shortage.

Senator Yaroe while commissioning the installation of the transformer at Sabon- Kasuwan Tudun wada in Ganye council challenge other political office holders to contribute in improving the lives of their people with the opportunity we are having at the moment.

“Any politician who comes into politics without a clear goal to serve will always miss the point, because all good politics is rooted in genuine service.” said Yaroe.

He however registered his dismay over the lack of federal government presence in his senatorial zone especially on road infrastructure and other social amenities calling it “Marginalization of Southern Adamawa”

He urge the federal government to see reason in capturing the communities from his zone in provision of projects with direct bearings on the populace so as to be given a sense of belonging as any other part of the country.

On the political alignment and re-alignment by politicians especially issue of defection,he responded saying that he refused to join ruling APC but ADC after leaving PDP because such move will amount to betrayal to his constituents whom he said decides where they go in political voyage couple with the neglect of the region by the central government

Yaroe disclosed that his proposed bill for the establishment of a Federal University of Education in Numan—one of the earliest bills in the 10th National Assembly—has yet to receive presidential assent, a development he described as disappointing.

Beyond electricity interventions, the senator highlighted his broader constituency projects, including the provision of over 30 boreholes and the organisation of more than 13 major medical outreaches across the zone.

While declining to publicise the exact cost of these interventions, Yaroe hinted that each major medical outreach could exceed ₦60 million, noting that he derives fulfilment from service rather than political showmanship.

“If I wanted applause, I could have spent such resources on handouts like motorcycles and tricycles, but that would not address the real needs of my people,” he said.

He further called on Nigerians to resist what he described as “emerging dictatorial tendencies” under the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, warning against any drift towards a one-party state.

In his remarks, the Gangwari of Ganye, HRH Adamu Umaru Sanda, commended the senator’s interventions, describing him as a model representative whose commitment to grassroots development should serve as a benchmark for others.

Similarly, community leaders and residents expressed gratitude for the intervention, noting that the transformer has restored electricity after more than a year of blackout.

A resident, Modibbo Abdulrazak, described the gesture as timely and impactful, while appealing for additional support in addressing the community’s water challenges.

“We are deeply grateful for this intervention, but we also hope the senator can assist us with boreholes, as access to water remains a major issue,” he said.

Another resident, Mrs Eunice Ethan, said the community had initially assumed the transformer was a government project, only to later discover it was facilitated by the senator.

“We are thankful for this support. It has brought relief to our people, and we hope other leaders will emulate this example,” she added.

The intervention is part of ongoing constituency efforts by Yaroe aimed at improving living conditions in underserved communities across Southern Adamawa.
