A socio-political organisation, Lere West Concern Group, has thrown its weight behind the candidacy of Hon. Tom Garba, describing him as a credible and people-oriented aspirant capable of driving development in the constituency.
In a statement released on Saturday, the group said its decision followed what it termed a thorough and impartial evaluation of aspirants seeking to represent Lere West Constituency under the All Progressives Congress.
According to the group, Garba has distinguished himself through a consistent record of service, leadership and grassroots engagement, which, it noted, has endeared him to many residents across the constituency.
The statement highlighted the activities of the Tom Garba Foundation, noting that the initiative had positively impacted lives through the award of scholarships, rehabilitation of boreholes to improve access to potable water, and sustained support for vulnerable groups, including widows and orphans.
It stressed that such interventions reflected practical commitment rather than mere political promises.
The group also commended Garba’s role in fostering unity within the APC in Lere Local Government Area, particularly at a time it described as critical for internal cohesion.
It said the aspirant had taken deliberate steps to promote inclusiveness, reconcile aggrieved members and strengthen party structures at the grassroots.
“His calm disposition and ability to bring people together stand him out as a leader with the capacity to stabilise and reposition the party,” the statement added.
The group further noted that Garba enjoys widespread acceptance across wards in the constituency, attributing this to his accessibility, humility and understanding of the challenges facing the people.
It added that his leadership approach aligns with the governance style of Kaduna State Governor, , which it said emphasises inclusiveness and development-driven policies.
The group, therefore, called on the governor, APC leaders in Kaduna State and other stakeholders in Lere Local Government Area to consider Garba for the party’s ticket.
It expressed confidence that his experience, grassroots connection and unifying capacity position him as a suitable candidate to represent Lere West and drive sustainable development in the constituency.
The statement was signed by the Lere West Concern Group.
