This followed his declaration as winner of the Feb. 26 senatorial election by an Appeal Court.

Senator. Amos Yohanna, representing Adamawa-North has said that he will place his priority on community enhancement and legislation, especially on youth development.

Yohanna who took his Oath of Office and Allegiance at Senate plenary on Oct. 25, said this in an interaction with newsmen in Abuja on Monday.

Yohanna said his decision to centre his legislative activities on community and people-oriented representation was based on the numerous challenges faced by his constituents.

“There are so many challenges in Adamawa North, it is an area that has been ravaged by insecurity; there are no good roads, there is so much poverty; there are no roads in some areas at all.

“There are issues on education, health, water and sanitation, these are challenges for the people and were caused by prolonged insecurity.”

He said he would seek the support and cooperation of other lawmakers to facilitate the enactment of deserving legislations for the good of Nigerians.

“So I will also seek the support of my colleagues in the Senate so that they will support me to make laws that will bring what is required for my people – accessible road, medical care and education.”

He said through oversight, he would ensure that whatever was appropriated to agencies for project development in his constituency would be used for the good of the people.

“I will represent the people responsibly with equity and will ensure that every one in Adamawa North is united.

“We will articulate collectively with the people by ensuring bottom up approach, where the people will be involved in town hall meetings, community engagement so that we will articulate together what is needed for the people.
