The Vandeikya Community Hall was packed to capacity on March 22, 2026, as residents seized the
opportunity to speak directly to the Senate candidate. Over 500 community members attended, representing
farmers, traders, teachers, youth groups, and traditional institutions.

Top Issues Raised by Residents



  • Rehabilitation of the Vandeikya–Gboko road (cited by over 40% of speakers)

  • Shortage of qualified teachers in rural primary schools

  • Lack of potable water in 60% of wards

  • Inadequate compensation for families displaced by the farmer-herder conflict

  • Youth unemployment and lack of vocational training centres

Candidate's Response


The candidate listened attentively to every speaker and gave specific responses to each concern,
citing the corresponding legislative mechanisms that would be used to address them from the Senate.

"A senator who does not listen cannot lead. Today I did not come to talk — I came to hear.
And everything you have shared today will find its way into my senate legislative agenda."
