New faces will emerge on the political scene, old politicians might want to stage a come back
Written by Satmak DAPAR
This article aspires to accomplish two (2) missions literally. Firstly, it is written to justify the possibilities that young people, in the spirit of renewed struggles can achieve extraordinary dreams and ambitions as their future unfolds, using the Senator Representing Adamawa North at Nigeria’s Apex Legislative Chamber Sen. Ishaku Elisha Abbo-SIA as a reference point. Secondly, the article seeks to articulate a bold vision for a new Adamawa where the hopes and aspirations of young people can blossom regardless of any prevailing situation.
Prior to 2019 general elections, Sen. Ishaku Abbo-SIA was not known by me. Never in the history of my over 10 years of journalism practice have I come across his name or met him in person. It was perhaps at the twilight of my master’s degree in far-away Northern Cyprus-Turkey sometime in 2018 that some friends from Adamawa state started mentioning his name as one of the young but bold political gladiators springing up in the “Land of Beauty, Hospitality and Sunshine.”
