time.”
In a courtesy visit to other groups from around the llorin West/Asa Federal constituency, it was learnt that Shagaya was warmly received and endorsed.
“We really feel that it’s important that we have someone in office who really champions those values and is not [dismissive] to the constituents’ true interests or, to the rural inhabitants, especially in Asa Local Government Area or to the progress of our party and really puts forth the voice of the people in the llorin West/Asa Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives,” said APC Executive Members, Asa Local Government.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) honored Shagaya as the Keynote Speaker at their leadership and retreat summit.
Shagaya reiterated his determination to serve his constituency wholeheartedly noting that his experience both within and outside the country, as well as in public and private sectors are key to his deep understanding of the plights of the people and metric-based approach at problem solving.
According to Shagaya, “I want to represent my people in Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency because I believe I have the competence, the character, and what it takes. I am not contesting for the office of the House of Representatives because I believe it is a simple task. I tell you, I have been preparing for this for a long time and I believe I am qualified to bring about change in Nigeria. My dream is for Nigeria to be able to stand competitively amongst other countries and that begins with incremental change”.
Meanwhile, the President of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) further gave his support as he endorsed Shagaya; “The time for youth is now, and Mallam Muktar Tolani Shagaya is a reliable personality and the youth would be happy having him as their face in leadership”.
