Enjoy the Excerpt;
Jat HotNews: For the listen pleasure of our readers, may we know your?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: I am by Name Bitrus Boyi, the ADP Chairman of Jos South Local Government Area, a business manager by profession, in terms of academics i am practical, i hale from Van District and i am blessed to be politician who is interested in humanity most especially in governance. With the right connection which i have, i do try my best to see the few Nigerians don’t get to suffer at the existence of this country.
Jat HotNews: What are the aims and objectives of the ADP?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: As a political party, we see to the good living existence of every human being on earth most especially Nigeria. With the little experience gathered, i have seen that many Nigerians are not finding things funny both democratically and administratively. In ADP, we make it a point of duty, to enact laws, regulations, and policies to guide and alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians. Our Major aim is to ensure unity in this country as everyone; Men, Women, and Youths will be carried along, the past experiences of leaders would be used help situate issues concerning the country by providing good governance, while our aim is to ensure the people know and enjoy the purpose of being Nigerians.
Jat HotNews: How has the ADP helped in the lives of its members, and that of the general public?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: The Action Democratic Party is almost three years in existence today, since we received our certification from INEC, the ADP has fared so well and done so much. The Leadership of the party has do so much to maintain the good relationship it has with its members, be it Local, State, or National the party has no risen to be doubted. I as the ADP Chairman of Jos South can assure you that our party faithful are cooping very well. The Party, has provided many incentives to members, and also Palliatives to cushion the effects of the COVID 19 during the Lock Down period, financial support has being rendered to the few who are unable to help them self’s, the party has really done beautifully well to aid its members as well as members have supported the party in its journey thus far. To the generality of the public, being the Third Force third down from the APC and the PDP, there is no credibility in both parties, we are advising the public to vote ADP as its blue print, laws will be used to solve problems, hardship, etc facing Nigerians.
Jat HotNews: Is the Third Force planning to take over power, come 2023?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Yes!!! We are not just planning to take over power, but we are going to take over power come 2023. From the National down to the grass roots, power will be ours for the good Nigerians.
Jat HotNews: What does the ADP have to say about the Fractionalization of the PDP? Is it to your advantage or not?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Fractionalization of any political party is very unfortunate, it just like a crisis that can hit or face anyone. The most unfortunate is the fact that does parties did not prepare for unity. “There is no internally democracy” For the ADP, we are ever strong, united, and welcoming and fractionalization will not define us.
Jat HotNews: Does the ADP have candidates ready to contest for the coming southern senatorial seat?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Yes, we are preparing our candidate for the seat, and i know and believe in victory all the way for ADP. The people of plateau know the best party for them and that party is ADP. To shade more light, we have being in communication with leaders of the ADP at the southern zone, as well as members and to our amazement, we are getting positive feedbacks. People really need true change.
Jat HotNews: With the Covid 19 Pandemic, how has it affected the party?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Covid 19 is an unfortunate situation in this country, the more reason the ADP is emphasizing on true change and true democracy. With a serious and dedicated government, we wouldn’t have had this Covid 19 pandemic in this country in the first place not a single case will be recorded. The negligence of our government in the price we are paying today in this country. Our leaders being relaxed about the situation thought they could fly out of the country in order to save their skin and that of their families at the detriment of suffering Nigerians, not knowing that Karma is a repel effect that ravages all. As a party, we are not happy with the Covid 19 and it has affected the whole nation at large. Businesses have stopped and are crumbling, Political activities have seized, Economic activities have stopped, and lots of the fundamental human activities have stopped due to negligence in the government we put our hopes in. We as a party are presently battling to post and build relationship with the general public online as social distancing is involved.
Jat HotNews: Comment on the efforts, and problems faced with this present government?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Honestly, this government cannot be scored zero out of a hundred, based on its reasoning, policies, blue prints, policies, manifesto etc. They could think they are doing their best, but Nigeria is above that. With my capacity as ADP Chairman Jos South, with my experiences and knowledge, i don’t see what this government is doing at all. People voted in this government to help remove them from the bondage suffering, lack, poverty, illiteracy etc but nothing is happening just lies covered by more lies to protect greater lies. We have few good spirited individuals in the government who are doing their best, but right from the national, down to the grassroots is a problem. Bring things back home, my Local government here in Jos South is pile of problems surrounded by more problems called governance. I have made research to find out if palliatives are being given to the poorest of the poor as claimed by government but you end up seeing Palliatives being distributed to party faithful’s, or as Nigerians say “WHO YOU KNOW” it so unfortunate that we really don’t see what they are doing and we are hoping that with the little available time they have, they should do the needful to help the lives of Nigerians as this Covid 19 has exposed the buried lies in this government. No medical facilities, No Educational facilities, nothing at all are working. We the ADP are praying for them as our leaders that should wake up from this slumber, and tackle the needful in other to apace Nigerans.
Jat HotNews: Comment on any area that disturbs you, and requires urgent attention. Be it international, National, or Local?
Hon. Bitrus Boyi: Education bothers me more because it is the bedrock of any development in the world. Once Education is toyed with, failures manifest with the speed of light. Today i was listening to a radio program, KT FM to be precise; someone said that we are far behind our peer groups. He wasn’t necessarily talking about us individuals, but taking an example with countries that started development with Nigeria. Brazil, India, Turkey, and Japan etc basically all the third nation countries we began with see where they are today and see where Nigeria is today. Nigeria needs to do better; its problem is the fact that Leaders are being recycled with no purpose. Nigeria must go with the trend of development as it is the 21st Century. For the past 59 years that Nigeria has being harnessing crude oil, this country or government could not feed it people for just two weeks and countries like Madagascar have found the Corona Virus cure for it people and Nigeria is still asking WHO on guidelines to solving the mysteries virus when it has every available resources it needs. This is to say that Nigerians need to see reasons why this government has failed us and we need to get it right. Nigerians need to elect educated leaders, young vibrant leaders both in our National Assemblies, State Assemblies, in the Local Government, our Ministers, every were in Nigeria needs a re-birth and ADP is prepared for that and all we need is for Nigerians to give us their support so we can form a clear vision of what Nigeria is meant to be.
