Senator representing Plateau Central Senatorial District and Chairman Senate Committee on Drugs and Narcotics_
Senator Hezekiah Ayuba Dimka on Saturday called on citizens of the state to celebrate the democracy day with a goal in mind .

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

The statement reads that “Another Democracy Day has come again and there is no better way to be part of it than to join millions of Nigerians in celebrating this unique day.”

In the last 22 years of uninterrupted celebration of democracy, Nigerians have gone through challenges that certainly have tested the souls of men and women.

The nation has had to grapple in the economy, of insecurity, health concerns and all manners ofcriminalities which include kidnapping, banditry and terrorism. All of these have tested the elasticity of our patience.

While admitting that there’s hope and light at the end of the tunnel, we cannot but channel our energies to concrete dialoguing between and amongst the various regions and ethnic groups that make the federation.

It is only in understanding our differences that we can appreciate where we should be. Talking about where we desire to be, is the concern of our people generally.

It is in this regard that I personally have benefited from the numerous prayers and counsels from home and far away; mostly to make me focus and direct me for proper service to the people.

Most political journeys are not without hitches, yet I have not been overwhelmed; rather, they have strengthened me to greater display of the character and dedication the office demands.

Fully mobilized and awakened by the various suggestions and in some cases criticism, we have not gone to sleep and abandoned the responsibilities placed on my shoulders. Rather, I am awake to my primary responsibilities and even much more.

In the course of the years, God has enabled me intervene in a number of ways for the benefit of our people (Document is made available). We do not beat our chest,we are only appreciating God’s faithfulness to present myself for greater service ahead.

Some of you or your communities or family members benefited from some of the programmes which my office organized either in the Senatorial District office or local government areas headquarters.

We are continuing to hope for more of such interventions particularly as we empower our people knowing that the times call for such. And doing so will continue to alleviate and take our young people off the unemployment market, so that they can direct their energies to productive endeavours.

He also said that I believe that our people, both old and young, women and children have a stake in the commonwealth. It is to their benefit that we shall not remain in the same place for long.

Matter of fact, my office (as your Senator) has many more empowerment initiatives that will be organized for the people. We cannot remain aloof and or pretend that we have reached our limits; a lot more is needed to be done and assure all who gave me this mandate that we are working for their benefit.

Dimka further said “I am not resting on my oars, there is a lot of grounds to cover before we get to the destination. I am determined to do more bearing in mind that we are in this together; and we can only do better with sufficient resources.”

As I begin the third year of my service to the zone and by extension to the state, I am persuaded we are on course to do even better. I have always said that a representative without the people is one without a voice. I have always prided myself as one who is surrounded by a people united for a better cause.

I shall count on you as always. I am sure I have a lot to offer now and in the future. God shall help me accomplish the tasks.

I wish you all the best as you celebrate this year’s Democracy Day. God bless you.
