Hon Audu Mustapha Ganga, member representing Magumeri Constituency in the Borno State House of Assembly, has pleaded with his constituents to endorse his fifth-term bid.

The lawmaker, who has occupied the position for 16 years, burst into tears while appealing to stakeholders from his constituency who are calling for new representation.

“You know I am from a poor background, but I was able to do many things for you. I promise to give you better representation if given another chance,” he said in a viral video.

Sources revealed that six aspirants have already purchased expression of interest and nomination forms to contest his position.

However, his emotional appeal has sparked a wave of reactions on social media.

Abubakar Hassan said, “You now know that you came from a poor background after disrespecting your leaders, you know the governor will not spare you.”

Mu’azu Hassan said, “It’s not easy providing food for the family. No food for lazy man.”

Lawan Modu said, “Hon Ganga has impacted the lives of youth and women through empowerment and jobs creation. Shading tears is not a sign of weakness.”

Muhammad Abba Kura said, “You are shedding crocodile tears.” (Daily Trust)
