He stated that, withing the first few months of the administration, he would endeavour as much as possible to tame down the spirit of distrust and disunity among his constituents and attend to their pressing needs through new innovations and programs that would draw vibrant young men and women out of the dreaded jaws of poverty.
Hon. Abdullahi assured his people that he would work tirelessly, transparently to ensure that his people reap true dividends of democracy
While assuring the people that his victory at the poll was the victory of the entire Constituency, Hon Abdullahi maintained that he would listen to all manner of people irrespective of tribe, ethnic group and religious background.

“I want to assure you that we will do our best to see how we can add valour to the development of our communities. We will first of all Unify our people and get their confidence. When we are able to do it through installation of justice, we shall then face the issue of insecurity in the area and tackle it headlong.
“We shall ensure that before our tenure runs up, we are able to tackle most of the needs of our constituency. I will continue to partner with other legislators in the area to see how we can lobby the Executive Arm of Government to complete the Jalingo Lau road. By the special grace of God, we shall deliver dividends of democracy to our people who willingly gave us their mandate”. He added.
The Member elect further called on the people of Ardokola, Lau and Karim Lamido Federal Constituency including religious leaders, traditional leaders, political leaders and those who contested alongside with him on the other political platforms to sheathe their sword and join hands with him to enable him deliver his responsibilities effectively.
