The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Askira/Uba/Hawul Federal Constituency of Borno State, Kudla Satumari Haske, has pledged to prioritise security, infrastructure, agriculture and economic opportunities if elected to the House of Representatives in 2027.
Haske made the pledge on Thursday while declaring his intention to contest the federal constituency, where he said insecurity, poor infrastructure and economic challenges had continued to affect residents.
He said his decision to seek the mandate was driven by the needs of farmers, youths, women and other residents across Askira/Uba and Hawul.
According to him, the people of the constituency deserve representation that prioritises their security, welfare and economic wellbeing
.
“We must end fear, isolation and economic neglect,” Haske said.
He said he would advocate stronger security measures, including community policing and improved security infrastructure, to enable farmers to return to their farmlands and restore economic activities in affected communities.
“We will prioritise the protection of our people as our highest calling. I will champion the strengthening of community policing, advocate for increased security infrastructure, and ensure that our farmers can return to their lands without fear, and our families can sleep in peace,” he said.
Haske also identified poor rural roads as a major challenge, saying the condition of roads had affected the movement of people and farm produce.
He pledged to advocate the construction and rehabilitation of rural roads to improve connectivity between communities and markets.
“We will break the chains of isolation,” he said.
