Langtang North and South Needs a Breath of Fresh Air — Why Dr. Jemchang Fabong Represents the Change We Deserve

By Nankpak Cirfat

Politics, they say, is local. But for too long in Langtang North and South Federal Constituency, our politics has been stuck in the same old routines, the same familiar faces, the same recycled promises, and the same outcomes that leave the people behind.

Each election season brings renewed hope, yet after the ballots are counted, that hope often fades into frustration. Our young people still wander the streets without jobs, our health system remains in comatous, and our infrastructures continue to tell the story of neglect. The truth is simple: we need a new direction. We need a breath of fresh air. With Dr. Jemchang Yildam Fabong, a name that has become synonymous with leadership, competence, and compassion.

Dr. Fabong is not your typical politician. He’s a medical doctor, a policy expert, and a visionary administrator who has shown that governance can truly work when driven by purpose and sincerity.

As the then Director-General of the Plateau State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (PLASCHEMA), he turned a new agency into one of Plateau State’s most efficient public institutions. In just under three years, over 87,000 residents, including civil servants, market women, artisans, and students were enrolled in health insurance programs.

Through the Equity Health Plan, he ensured that even the most vulnerable citizens, those who could barely afford a hospital visit, had access to medical care without paying from their pockets. He didn’t stop there. Recognizing the struggles of young people in higher institutions, Dr. Fabong pioneered the Student Health Insurance Programme, helping students access affordable healthcare coverage across Plateau State.

In a system where many leaders only talk, he delivered measurable results. That’s not politics, that’s leadership.

Before his public service career, Dr. Fabong was already a household name among young people in Plateau State. As the Chairman of the Plateau Youth Council, he led from the front, advocating for peace, unity, and inclusion. At a time when youth engagement in governance was fading, he revived the spirit of participation and mentorship.

He didn’t rise through godfatherism or patronage. He rose through service, ideas, and community credibility. Today, when people speak of leaders who listen who truly understand the struggles of their people his name consistently comes up.

Dr. Fabong’s story is one of grit, grace, and grounded leadership as with ordinary people who simply want someone who cares.

Let’s be honest: representation in our constituency has fallen short of expectations. We deserve leaders who don’t vanish after elections, leaders who can translate influence into impact. For years, Langtang North and South has produced strong voices in national politics, but the question remains: how much of that influence has truly improved the lives of our people? And that is why it is time to rethink what leadership means. It should no longer be about who has been there the longest, but who can deliver the most. It should no longer be about connections in Abuja, but about impact in Kwampe, Bapkwai, Sabongida, and Gani.

In all sincerity, Dr. Jemchang Fabong represents a paradigm shift, from politics of entitlement to politics of performance.

As the race for who will represent Langtang North and South at the National Assembly will soon begin, Dr. Fabong is bringing a refreshing tone. His movement isn’t about trading insults or spreading division. It’s about ideas, integrity, and inclusion.

He envisions a constituency where federal representation translates to real development, where our infrastructures are fixed, our schools funded, and our youths empowered. It is in my hopes that his legislative agenda will focus on healthcare reforms, education access, youth development, and economic inclusion, the very areas he has already impacted as a public servant.

And as a data-driven leader, for me he understands that accountability begins with transparency. It’s no wonder that even outside government, he has championed evidence-based leadership and open governance.

Of course, unseating an incumbent in Nigerian politics is no small task. The sitting member has held the position and will undoubtedly leverage his influence. But politics is not just about incumbency; it’s about performance and trust.

Across Langtang North and South, the conversation is changing. From Mabudi to Jos Road, from Kuffen to Gani, people are beginning to say: we want something new in itarok. There’s a quiet but powerful movement, a desire for representation that is both youthful and competent.

Fellow constituents of Langtang North and South, We can either continue with business as usual or choose a new path of innovation and service. The 2027 elections will test whether we, as a people, are ready to move from politics of promises to politics of progress and real legislative agenda, anchored on capacity, character, and competence.

Dr. Jemchang Yildam Fabong has served Plateau State with excellence. He has led young people with courage. And now, without an iota of doubt he is ready to serve Langtang North and South with integrity.

Our constituency doesn’t just need a politician, it needs a patriot, a breath of fresh air. Nga pyal na byet.

Nankpak Cirfat is a communications and governance professional, advocate for youth participation, social accountability, and good governance. He writes from Abuja, Nigeria.

Minister Geoffrey Nnaji Resigns Amid Certificate Forgery Scandal

Abuja, Nigeria – October 7, 2025:
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accepted the resignation of Geoffrey Uche Nnaji, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, following mounting allegations of certificate forgery tied to his academic records at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday, noting that the President accepted Nnaji’s resignation “with immediate effect.”

“President Tinubu has accepted the resignation of Geoffrey Uche Nnaji following certain allegations against him. The President thanks him for his service and wishes him well in his future endeavours,” Onanuga said in a post on X.

In his resignation letter, Nnaji thanked President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve and claimed that he had become a target of blackmail from political opponents.
He was appointed as Minister in August 2023 and had been overseeing innovation and technology development before the controversy emerged.

The scandal erupted after investigative reports revealed inconsistencies in Nnaji’s academic records.
Documents obtained by Premium Times and Vanguard indicated that while Nnaji claimed to have graduated from UNN in July 1985, university records show he was asked to re-sit certain courses, including MCB 431AB (Virology), which he allegedly failed.

A letter dated November 8, 1985, from the UNN Registrar reportedly stated that Nnaji had not fulfilled all graduation requirements.
UNN has since clarified that it has no record of issuing Nnaji any degree certificate, contradicting his earlier claims.

The Minister, in response, accused the institution of withholding his transcript for political reasons and has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1909/2025) seeking an order to compel UNN to release his academic records. The case is scheduled for hearing on November 10, 2025.

Opposition parties, led by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), have called for a full-scale review of academic qualifications of all current cabinet members, citing the scandal as evidence of weak vetting in government appointments.

Civil society organizations have also urged anti-corruption agencies to investigate the forgery allegations to their logical conclusion, insisting that resignation alone does not clear the minister of wrongdoing.

While confirming the resignation, the Presidency said it would not comment further until the court delivers its verdict.

Meanwhile, sources indicate that President Tinubu is expected to announce a replacement for the ministry in the coming days.

Geoffrey Nnaji, a former Enugu State Commissioner and longtime public servant, joined the Tinubu administration with a promise to boost Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem. His sudden exit marks the first ministerial resignation in the current cabinet linked to an integrity-related controversy.

Yakubu Concludes Tenure, Hands Over to Agbamuche-Mbu as INEC’s Acting Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) witnessed a significant, pre-planned leadership transition on Wednesday as Professor Mahmud Yakubu formally concluded his ten-year tenure, handing over administrative responsibilities to National Commissioner Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, who will serve in an acting capacity.

The procedural handover was conducted during the third regular quarterly consultative meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) in Abuja. Prof. Yakubu informed the gathering that, in line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), he had commenced his pre-retirement leave.

“Having been privileged to serve the Commission for 10 years, with only a few more weeks to serve, I have taken a decision and commenced the same as provided by Section 306, Subsections 1 and 2 of the Constitution,” Prof. Yakubu stated. He explained that the move was to ensure a seamless transition, affording the appointing authorities adequate time to select a new substantive Chairman.

Following consultation with fellow National Commissioners, he announced that Mrs. Agbamuche-Mbu would assume leadership as Acting Chairman. He expressed confidence in her ability to steward the Commission, noting she would “quickly settle down to the task of conducting elections and electoral activities in Africa’s most democratically and logistically complex environment.”

Prof. Yakubu’s decade at the helm, beginning in 2015, was a period of substantial modernisation for INEC. His farewell address served as a comprehensive account of the Commission’s evolution, highlighting the consolidation of a biometric register of voters and the widespread digitisation of processes, from candidate nomination and accreditation of observers to the management of results.

To document this era, he presented two publications: Election Management in Nigeria 2015 to 2025 and Innovations in Electoral Technology 2015 to 2025, which have been uploaded to the INEC website for public access.

Looking ahead, he outlined a critical roadmap for the Commission, which includes the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), where 6.8 million Nigerians have begun online pre-registration and 1.2 million have completed in-person registration. Other immediate tasks involve cleaning up the voters’ register, reviewing polling unit locations, and preparing for a series of off-cycle elections in Anambra, Ekiti, Osun, and the Federal Capital Territory.

In her acceptance remarks, the new Acting Chairman, Barr. Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, expressed humility and honour at the appointment. She paid tribute to Prof. Yakubu’s significant contributions and assured the commission of continuity.

“We assure you that the commission will do our very best to maintain and uphold the standards you have set. We will continue from where you stopped,” Agbamuche-Mbu stated. She pledged to “uphold the integrity of the commission and work with utmost professionalism, dedication, and in unity” with commissioners, directors, staff, and stakeholders.

The formal handover prompted a deeply emotional response from the Commission’s Secretary, Mrs. Rose Oriaran-Anthony. Visibly moved, she struggled to articulate her feelings, repeatedly stating, “I stand before you today and feel with emotion… I want to say thank you to the chairman for what he has done.” Her brief but powerful remarks laid bare the profound respect and camaraderie that defined the working environment under Prof. Yakubu’s leadership.

Yakubu Hands Over As INEC Gets Acting Chairman

The leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has changed hands as Professor Mahmood Yakubu officially handed over to May Agbamuche-Mbu, who has been appointed Acting National Chairman of the commission.

Agbamuche-Mbu, the longest-serving National Commissioner at INEC, assumed her new role on Tuesday during a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) held at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

She currently chairs INEC’s Legal Services, Clearance, and Complaints Committee (LSCCC), a key portfolio responsible for overseeing legal compliance and candidate screening.

Professor Yakubu, whose second and final five-year term is due to expire in November 2025, stated that the handover aligns with constitutional provisions guiding tenure limits for public officeholders. He urged commissioners, directors, and all INEC staff to extend their full cooperation and support to Agbamuche-Mbu as she leads the commission pending the appointment of a substantive chairman.

In his farewell address, Yakubu expressed gratitude to INEC staff, Resident Electoral Commissioners, and other stakeholders for their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to Nigeria’s democratic process during his tenure. He described his time at the commission as both “challenging and rewarding,” noting that the conduct of elections in Nigeria had seen steady improvements in transparency, technology adoption, and voter engagement.

“I am deeply grateful to my colleagues and the entire INEC family for their unwavering support. The progress we achieved was made possible through teamwork, resilience, and our shared belief in strengthening Nigeria’s democracy,” he said.

Yakubu’s tenure as INEC Chairman began in November 2015 following his appointment by then-President Muhammadu Buhari. He was reappointed for a second term in 2020, making him the first chairman in Nigeria’s electoral history to serve two full terms in office. Under his leadership, INEC oversaw two general elections, in 2019 and 2023 as well as several off-cycle and by-elections across the country.

Agbamuche-Mbu’s appointment comes at a crucial period as preparations for upcoming off-cycle governorship elections and continuous voter registration exercises intensify. Her experience within the commission, particularly in legal and administrative oversight, is expected to ensure continuity and stability during the transition phase.

INEC is also expected to maintain focus on post-election reforms, electoral technology upgrades, and stakeholder engagement under her leadership.

Professor Yakubu’s departure marks the end of a decade-long leadership at the helm of Nigeria’s electoral body; one characterized by significant electoral reforms and efforts to build public trust in the nation’s voting process.

Nigerians Groan As Cooking Gas Price Hits N1,800 Per Kilogram Amid Shortage

The cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly known as cooking gas, has surged sharply across several Nigerian cities, including Lagos, Ogun, and Ibadan, following a nationwide shortage.

The scarcity was triggered by a three-day strike by oil workers, which disrupted gas supply and distribution across the country. Prices have also spiked in other states such as Port Harcourt, Cross River, Kano, and Kaduna.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) had embarked on the strike last week to protest the dismissal of some workers at the Dangote Refinery.

Although the strike has since been suspended, the brief disruption in supply caused many gas depots to run dry, leading to rationing and steep price hikes.

In many parts of the country, the price of cooking gas has jumped from around ₦1,000 per kilogram to between ₦1,600 and ₦1,800.

In Abuja, refilling a 12.5kg cylinder now costs between ₦17,000 and ₦18,750, depending on the location. In districts such as Wuse, Garki, and Kubwa, a kilogram of LPG sells for ₦1,350 to ₦1,500, while some outlets in Jabi offer a 12.5kg refill for about ₦17,000.

Retailers in the city report that many outlets ran out of stock by Sunday, while those still selling gas increased their prices significantly.

A similar situation is unfolding in Lagos and Ogun States, where the price per kilogram rose from about ₦1,000 and ₦1,100 respectively last week to between ₦1,300 and ₦1,800 over the weekend.

Across Nigeria, households and small businesses continue to feel the impact of the gas shortage, as prices soar daily with no immediate relief in sight.

President Tinubu Assures Northern Christians of Fairness, Pays Tribute to Late Lydia Yilwatda

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fairness, unity, and inclusivity across religious lines, assuring Christian communities in Northern Nigeria of his dedication to national cohesion and equitable governance.

The President gave the assurance during a meeting with Christian leaders at the headquarters of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Jos, Plateau State, as part of his visit to attend the funeral of the late Nana Lydia Yilwatda, mother of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

“I have a mission to unite this country, ensure its prosperity, and we are making progress,” President Tinubu said, emphasizing that his government’s priority is to foster peace and development among all Nigerians, regardless of faith.

While paying tribute to the late Lydia Yilwatda, who passed away at the age of 83, the President described her as “a devoted mother and a humanitarian whose life reflected faith and compassion.”

Reflecting on his own family, President Tinubu highlighted his commitment to religious tolerance, stating, “In our family, we have a strong Muslim background, and I married a Christian, a pastor for that matter, and I have never forced her to change her religion.”

He urged the clergy to continue to support efforts toward national unity and peaceful coexistence, noting that both religious and political leaders share a responsibility to manage diversity for the common good.

At the funeral service, the chief mourner, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, described his late mother as a hardworking and resilient woman who lived with a medical condition for 47 years yet remained dedicated to her family and community.

“My mother worked tirelessly despite her health challenges, always supporting others and offering humanitarian assistance,” he said, while expressing gratitude to President Tinubu for his support and leadership.

In his remarks, Reverend Dr. Amos Mohzo, President and Spiritual Leader of COCIN, commended the President for his inclusive leadership, particularly his appointment of Northern Christians to key national positions, such as Senator George Akume as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Professor Nentawe Yilwatda as APC National Chairman.

Mohzo also appreciated the President’s efforts toward restoring peace in Plateau and Benue States and appealed for continued support for victims of conflict and displaced Christian communities in Borno and Adamawa States.

He pledged the church’s support for the success of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The funeral service was attended by several dignitaries, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State and several APC governors and ministers.
