“Bala Maijama’a Wunti wants to ensure that people enjoy dividends of democracy, people feel positive impact of good governance and live standard life,”he added.

He added that, “His focus is on how to make life more bearable for people with special needs, he is not happy seeing people going on the streets begging for alms when they can live a better life with a little support.”
According to him, “You people with special needs are his primary constituency and priority. Therefore, he has directed us to interact with you, feel your impulse and support you during this Holy month of Ramadan.”
Dini Zalanga then called on the people to intensify prayers for Allah to grant him success in his aspirations, stressing that,”With your prayers and support, the set objectives will be achieved.”
He then announced that Bala Maijama’a Wunti, has directed the Support Organisation to give each of a bag of rice and undisclosed amount of money to enable them navigate the ongoing Ramadan fasting.
Leaders of the various groups who spoke differently, commended Bala Maijama’a Wunti for answering the calls on him to aspire for the 2027 gubernatorial ticket of the APC.

They assured that they are ever ready to work for the support until he secures the party and and will vote massively for him in the main election in 2027.
