The member representing Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, has mounted a robust defence of his legislative record.

He highlighted key achievements in lawmaking, institutional development and security reforms, while signaling his intention to seek re-election in 2027.

Speaking during a media parley in Jos, the Chairman, House Committee on Navy, dismissed criticisms of underperformance, insisting that his contributions to national legislation and constituency development remain significant and measurable.

Gagdi emphasised that the primary responsibility of a lawmaker is not project execution but the enactment of laws that guarantee peace, order and good governance, alongside effective oversight of government agencies.

He said: “In my first and second terms, I have remained focused on the constitutional mandate of lawmaking and oversight. I have visited over 187 agencies and departments in the course of my oversight duties, particularly within the Nigerian Navy.”
