A young businessman, Salam Iliya Goje, has formally joined the ruling party and declared his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, aiming to represent the people of Jalingo, Yorro, and Zing federal constituency.
Goje made the announcement via his Facebook page, where he shared photos from the event marking his entry into partisan politics. The post quickly gained traction, drawing reactions from supporters and associates across social media platforms.
Among those who publicly expressed support was Manga Autos, alongside several well-wishers who called on constituents to rally behind Goje’s ambition. Supporters described his move as a bold step, citing his business background as a potential asset in legislative representation.
While Goje has yet to formally outline his policy priorities, his declaration signals the beginning of what could shape up to be a competitive race for the federal constituency seat. Political observers note that his entry introduces a new dynamic, particularly among younger aspirants seeking elective positions.
The Jalingo, Yorro, and Zing constituency has remained politically significant in Taraba State, with expectations already building around the forthcoming electoral contest.
