Concerned Citizens of Jalingo have issued a clarion call to Hon. Sale Sa'ad, Chairman of the Taraba State Committee on Palliatives, urging him to contest for Chairman of Jalingo Local Government Council in the forthcoming November 2025 local government elections in Taraba State.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Hon. Mohammed Ishaku stated that Jalingo Local Government is at a crossroads under the current leadership, facing numerous challenges that have led to economic decline and growing disharmony among its people.
He called on residents to reject primordial sentiments and instead vote based on candidates' character, competence, track record, and vision. He described Hon. Sa'ad as a genuine and prominent son of Jalingo, well-positioned to lead the council toward progress.
The group emphasized that the upcoming election presents a critical opportunity to elect a leader who can promote inclusiveness, development, and good governance.
"Jalingo Local Government needs a bridge-builder—someone who rises above religious or tribal sentiments and is committed to equity, fairness, peace, and progress," the group stated.
Also speaking at the event, Abubakar Usman, Chairman of the Alliance Group in Maijidadi Ward, expressed total support for Hon. Sa'ad's candidacy in the November 2025 elections.
Highlighting his political experience, the group praised Hon. Sa'ad's service as a member of the Taraba State House of Assembly and as Commissioner for Environment. He was described as a dedicated politician and a leader who has positively impacted lives across the local government.
They also commended his recent efforts as Chairman of the Palliatives Committee, especially in addressing food security in the state.
"Sale Sa'ad has consistently demonstrated unwavering commitment to justice, integrity, and the empowerment of young people. His proven track record and vision for a more inclusive and transparent community are precisely what we need," the group affirmed.
They urged all residents of Jalingo—regardless of political party, religion, or ethnicity—to support Sale Sa'ad should he declare interest in the chairmanship race. The group expressed confidence that his leadership would usher in an era of economic growth, accountability, and sustainable development.
"It is time to act. Together, we can ensure a brighter, stronger, and more just future for Jalingo Local Government," the statement added.
