Taraba State Governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku, on Tuesday told youths of the state to ensure his re-election in 2019 and see how he would turn their lives around.
Ishaku made this pledge at his third year anniversary and Democracy Day celebration held at the Jolly Nyame stadium Jalingo.
The governor while using the occasion to solicit for the supports of youths for his reelection bid told the mammoth crowd, “I want you (the youth) to go out during the election and re-elect us. I will empower you to be millionaires; you will be exporting milk and meat; you will be driving Mercedes Benz, instead of Keke NAPEP.”
He added, “Today, over 3000 youths have been employed and thousands empowered through the Rescue Mission’s skills acquisition programme.
“Those empowered are now self-reliant and have become employers of labour. The story of one Aisha is a good example. She was empowered; she later employed a widow and five other persons and her business is still running.”
“When you elected me in 2015, you did not know me well. Now, you know who Ishaku is; now, you know who DDI is, who Daram Dam Dam is, because of what I have done for you.”
