Youths under the banner of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Gassol Local Government Area have officially endorsed Comrade Munka'ila Mansur Jirgi as their preferred candidate for the Chairmanship of Gassol LGA ahead of the upcoming local government elections.

The endorsement was announced during a stakeholders' meeting held in Mutum Biyu by the Chairman of the PDP Youth Forum in Gassol, Japheth Ezekiel Dadadson.

In a speech delivered at the event, Dadadson praised Jirgi'scommitment to the grassroots and described him as a man of integrity, deeply connected to the people of Gassol. He recalled Jirgi's instrumental role in leading a rural mobilization team during the 2023 gubernatorial campaign of Governor AgbuKefas, especially among Muslim and Fulani communities in Gassol and Bali LGAs.

"This decision is not based on sentiment or political convenience. It is based on conviction, trust, and a proven track record of service," Dadadson said.

He highlighted Jirgi's long-standing involvement in community development and his deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of the people. According to the Forum, Jirgi'saccessibility, reliability, and passion for service—not power—set him apart from others.

"At this critical moment in our political journey, we need leaders who are tested, trusted, and connected to the grassroots. Munka'ila Mansur Jirgi represents all of that," he added.

The Forum called on party leaders, women's groups, youth organizations, and traditional rulers across Gassol's wards to rally behind Jirgi for inclusive leadership and real grassroots development.
