Group operating under the auspices of North Central Youths for Quality Legislation and Governance (NCYFQLAG) has appealed to opposition members of the Senate to support Senator Simon Mwadkwon for him to emerge as their Minority Leader in the 10th National Assembly.

The spokesman of the group, Oche Okolobia also described Hon Mwadkwon as a thorough-breed politician who deserves the position of minority leader.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Jos.

The group said, “Considering the vast legislative experiences of Hon. Mwadkwon, who has served as a House of Representatives Member in the 7th Assembly and 9th Assembly and is now a Senator, we are of the firm believe that he deserves to serve as one of the principal officers of the Senate,”.

The North Central group said the antecedents of Hon Simon Mwadkwon, who represents Plateau North Senatorial District in the National Assembly put him ahead of all aspirants for the position.

” As a fantastic two-term House of Representatives member, he always stood with his people Hon. Mwadkwon has remained a loyal, committed and determined adherent of the PDP’s ideology, as he has always put his weight and resources to the success of the party at all levels.”

The group tasked members of the Senate in opposition political parties to go for Hon Mwadkwon whom he noted, would effectively checkmate the executive arm of government.

They further added that Mwadkwon is a real detribalised Nigerian, who sees everybody as his partner in the Nigerian project, hence the need for him to be considered of being one of the principal officers from the PDP/minority caucus.

“We are urging the party and all Senators who are from the minority to consider endorsing him as the Minority leader ” he further added.

“Senator Simon Mwadkwon has what it takes to become the Minority leader, given his past achievements.”

The group described Mwadkwon as a tested and trusted leader, he is imbued with charisma, knowledge and experience and would not let the Minority members down if supported .”
