Senator Usman: Setting Benchmarks in Leadership and Transformation

Providence sometimes strategically places some individuals in a position to deeply impact their generation, community and people. And it also often complements such individuals by imbuing them with the sagacity, capacity and capability to make their impact on their environment and fellow humans, not only indelibly felt, but also in unprecedented manners and measures.

One of such special beings is Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, whose two years in the National Assembly have brought unprecedented improvements in the lives of the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, who freely gave him their mandate in the 2023 general elections. Senator Usman’s indelible imprints in the sands of time in these past two years in the National Assembly have convinced the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial District that their darling lawmaker, who they fondly call Senator LA, is a rare breed of a politician, whose two years in the National Assembly have put a lie to the pretentions of his predecessors, whose representation the constituents have continued to regret, as they continuously say they lack anything to write home about.

But quite unlike his predecessors and detractors, Senator LA has proved himself to be a politician who prefers to give the necessary and needed tools to his constituents, to not only earn their livelihood, but also attain and achieve greatness.

A politically savvy lawmaker, though a first timer, Senator LA has, in just two years, sponsored life-changing bills and empowered more people than his predecessors, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the recent past, put together.

He’s aware that the phenomenal challenge of meeting the needs of his constituents cannot be done through wishful thinking and rhetorical simplicities. That’s why he’s so focused on delivering the real dividends of democracy to his constituents, despite the distractions from the opposition, who are always whining about one frivolity or the other. No doubt, he’s head and shoulders above his peers representing the different parts of the state in the National Assembly.

As a good Muslim who takes the creed of his faith seriously, Senator LA has continued to relate with his constituents, and even the opposition, with great compassion and a high sense of responsibility.

Talking about performance, there’s no doubt the people of Kaduna Central are always at home with Senator LA, who has brought unprecedented developments to their Senatorial District in the two years he has represented them in the National Assembly.

Senator Usman has by his achievements in the past two years, redefined representation, a development which is a common knowledge, indisputable, widely accepted and acknowledged by his teeming supporters and constituents – the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, and even his political opponents.

Senator LA remains on record as one of the first, if not the first, lawmaker to raise a motion on the floor of the 10th Senate after its inauguration in 2023, when he called urgent attention to the perennial insecurity and kidnappings in Kaduna State, as well as their link to the deplorable state of the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
