As the Canadian federal election for parliamentarians scheduled to take place on October 21, 2019, draws near, Dave Madder, one of the city’s most successful community leaders and former Municipal Councilor candidate, has endorsed the candidature of Stephen Abara, a Nigerian-Canadian citizen, for the federal parliamentary election in Scabourough-Guild Wood (ward 24) and Federal Electoral District Ontario Canada.

In a statement signed and made available to journalists by Mr. Dave Madder, Abara’s official campaign agent explained that Stephen Abara had spent his entire career working to keep the neighbourhood and families of Ontarians safe from crime and violence for the last 10 years.

“During his career he has proven his commitment to social justice, education and community service and engagement working for the wellbeing of Senior Citizens as founder and President, ‘Friends of Seniors organisation’ as Senate Committee Member for Admission, Student Services and Appeal, York University, while raising awareness of the Canadian Justice system to not only put criminals off our streets, but out of Canadian jails through proper education of the young, canvassing for family spiritual and moral upbringing and upliftment. I can think of no other candidate more qualified to serve as Scarborough's-Guild wood next Member of the Provincial Parliament (MPP) than Senior Business Analyst, Executive Coach, Author, Playwright, and Poet Stephen Abara.”

Dave Madder made the above remarks at brief meeting of community leaders and upcoming political candidates’ forum in the Scarborough Guild wood, ward 24 Federal District.

“While other community leaders and activists have shifted their operations elsewhere living the city behind for greener pastures, Dave has remained here, working with and for numerous organisations for the last 30 years. I cannot thank Mr. Dave enough for his support,” Abara noted.

Mr. Abara has got what it takes to take the federal district to a new dimension in politics. He has come to serve you and not to answer a politician but a ‘public servant’ for the poor, the rich and wealthy and for the middle class.
