Honourable James Yakubu, a chieftan of People Democratic Party, PDP, who is aspiring for House of Representative for Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency come 2027 elections cycle, has promised to serve humanity all heartedly if elected.

Yakubu, who was a commissioner of youths and sports development during senator Jonah Jang's administration, believed the current internal PDP tussle at the national level will soon come to an end.

He made the revelation on Thursday in Jos the Plateau State capital while speaking to newsmen when he chaired the occasion of Anaguta 2026 new year celebration.

Hon. Yakubu said as a bonafide PDP members he will remain in the party no matter the challenges.

"As I’m talking to you today, if you look at my campaign vehicles, they are painted PDP. I am going to die a PDP man. I am practically a PDP man. If eventually we have problems as a PDP, then we will move as a group, as PDP, to wherever we are going. But as far as we are concerned, we believe our cases will be settled, and we will run under the PDP platform.

"I am not against anybody going to any other political party. I am James Yakubu, and I am a PDP person", he stated.

On what would be his topmost priority eventually if he win, according to Yakubu, " I believe we’ve already won. So let’s talk about priorities. Our priority is to see how we can move forward. You see, I believe when you go into office, you go there to continue from where your colleague stopped, and you build on it. We will sit down, dialogue with our people, and see what is in our best interest.

"It’s not about me standing here and telling you I will do A, B, and C. No. It’s not about that. It’s about collective interest. If I stand here today and tell you I will do A, B, C, I will be lying to you—and I don’t lie. 

"We will work together. We will sit down in the boardroom as a team and design our blueprint for Jos North/Bassa, and we will all come together and work as a team—not as individuals."

"My general call is to serve humanity and see how we can improve our society. You see, I have lived in America for about 30 years. 

"Right after school, I moved to Washington, D.C. I was privileged to attend high school in London, and from there I went to the United States. I’ve lived there almost all my life.

"So at least I’ve seen what congressmen do in the United States. For me, it will be a pride and joy to bring what I have learned into our system and see how we can positively change the lives of our constituents. That is what I want to do", Yakubu concluded.
