He said it was Gagdi who sponsored the bill for upgrading the Federal College of Education Pankshin into a University as well as another Bill to create a new Federal College of Education in Dengi.
“You have stood out among the legislators representing Plateau at the national assembly and have worked closely with the Deputy Speaker to ensure that our interests are projected. I commend you for making my work easier as Governor and wish there were more like you. You deserve to go back and do more for the people” he said.
Lalong said the forthcoming elections present a good opportunity to reward excellence and effectiveness by massively voting for the APC from Top to Bottom.
He urged them to vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda as Governor, Diket Plang as Senator as well as all candidates for the Houses of Assembly in the Zone.
Gagdi thanked the Governor for standing by him and also giving him opportunity to excell and contribute to the development of Plateau State and improving the lives of the people of PKK.
He said he was overwhelmed by the show of love and support which the people have accorded him, assuring that he will continue to fight for their rights and opportunities.

He said the impact of the projects and programmes executed by Gagdi has gone beyond the Constituency and put the party in good light.
Nentawe was happy that as the leader of the Legacy Group, Gagdi has paid attention to the plight of the next generation which gives an indication that they will work closely together to take the younger generation to greater heights when elected.
