Sen. Binos Donates 500KVA Transformer to Ganye, 13 Other Southern Adamawa Communities
Senator representing Adamawa South, Binos Dauda Yaroe, has donated a 500KVA transformer to the Ganye community and extended similar interventions to 13 other communities across Southern Adamawa, as part of efforts to address chronic power shortages in the area.
Speaking during the commissioning of a transformer at Sabon Kasuwan Tudun Wada in Ganye Local Government Area, Yaroe urged Nigerian politicians to prioritize service over personal ambition, stressing that the essence of politics lies in improving the lives of the people.
According to him, “Any politician who comes into politics without a clear goal to serve will always miss the point, because all good politics is rooted in genuine service.”
The lawmaker lamented the longstanding marginalization of Southern Adamawa, noting that the zone has suffered from a lack of federal presence, including poor road infrastructure and the absence of key institutions.
He also reiterated his refusal to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), arguing that such a move would amount to betraying his constituents’ interests in the absence of tangible federal commitments to the region.
Yaroe disclosed that his proposed bill to establish a Federal University of Education in Numan—one of the earliest bills in the 10th National Assembly—has yet to receive presidential assent, a development he described as disappointing.
Beyond electricity interventions, the senator highlighted his broader constituency projects, including the provision of over 30 boreholes and the organization of more than 13 major medical outreaches across the zone.
While declining to publicize the exact cost of these interventions, Yaroe hinted that each major medical outreach could exceed ₦60 million, noting that he derives fulfillment from service rather than political showmanship.
“If I wanted applause, I could have spent such resources on handouts like motorcycles and tricycles, but that would not address the real needs of my people,” he said.
He further called on Nigerians to resist what he described as “emerging dictatorial tendencies” under the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, warning against any drift towards a one-party state.
In his remarks, the Gangwari of Ganye, HRH Adamu Umaru Sanda, commended the senator’s interventions, describing him as a model representative whose commitment to grassroots development should serve as a benchmark for others.
Similarly, community leaders and residents expressed gratitude for the intervention, noting that the transformer has restored electricity after more than a year of blackout.
A resident, Modibbo Abdulrazak, described the gesture as timely and impactful, while appealing for additional support in addressing the community’s water challenges.
“We are deeply grateful for this intervention, but we also hope the senator can assist us with boreholes, as access to water remains a major issue,” he said.
Another resident, Mrs. Eunice Ethan, said the community had initially assumed the transformer was a government project, only to later discover it was facilitated by the senator.
“We are thankful for this support. It has brought relief to our people, and we hope other leaders will emulate this example,” she added.
The intervention is part of ongoing constituency efforts by Yaroe aimed at improving living conditions in underserved communities across Southern Adamawa.
