Adamawa Politics: Caleb Leads, Others Follow
By Kasimu Bala
The generosity and benevolence demonstrated by Chief Caleb Andrew Myebangara during the 2024 and new year 2025 is a litmus test that his acceptability as Governor of Adamawa State come 2027 is unprecedented.
Chief Caleb Andrew Myebangara
As simply put, democracy is Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Chief Caleb as a true democrat believes in that thought hence the massive trooping to his residence by people from all walks of life particularly the less privileged to get what they are going to share with their families during the recent festivities.
Unlike other politicians that use to go oblivion in times of the needs, Caleb hanged around, distributing food items and cash to Associations and families to celebrate the season.
“Na zo ya Taimakeni da shinkafa, indomie da kudi says an elderly woman walking along barracks road in Jimeta”
“A kungiyance, mu Ma mun ci moriyansa domin gudunmawa da ya yi mana a Lokacin Krisimeti” another cripple riding on his bicycle.
“We have come to wish him happy Christmas and we eat and wine together with his family at his residence says an average Madam Saratu Musa”
A very young man with black traditional cap smiling said “Adamawa! Said CALEB” .
He might have also smiled home with a lot of cash.
They all celebrated the season with happiness despite the hardship biting hard and harder on Nigerian citizens courtesy of Chief Caleb Andrew Myebangara.
2027 is far but not far in the eyes of the divine, and even a poor man.
But this philanthropist decided to be showing concern for the masses.
He drew himself so close to the people to feel their pulse even in the area of school fees.
After Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, I believed only Chief Caleb Andrew Myebangara can sustain and consolidate on the legacies of the ATM Governor.
