By: Nanpang Irmiya.

The very essence of leadership is that a leader must have vision.He should not blow an uncertain trumpet because leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.The objective of aspiring to Represent people in a position of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better. The philosophy that inspired Tijani Mohammed Amana (TJ) to contest is binded on his long time relationship with the grassroots having taken it upon himself as a responsibility to ensure that the less privileged smiles even when he cries.

Long before venturing in to politics as a consummate businessman, His humanitarian activities earned him the respect of Electorates of Mangu North East.To many ,his decision to contest is clarion call and acceptance of responsibility to use experience and resources to change the narratives in the Constituency. It is an unarguable discussion that the long term bones of friendships he instituted among the people of his Constituency will give PDP an easy ride to win and take back the Constituency from the rulling All Progressive Congress in a tinkle of an eye. 

Lack of consistency and Political ideology has hindered progress and development of Nigeria Particularly at the State Constituencies that need sound and Innovative laws of the 21st century to better the life of their Constituents been the first point of call. Mangu North East Constituency has produced quite a number of eminent personalities that excelled in both Public and Private life like Paul Gindiri and former Deputy President of Nigerian Senate Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu.

As the 2023 elections draws near,TJ is been a described by the Youths and women groups as the lion that will lead the sheep to salvage the Constituency that is looking to him to better the life of the people. It is an unarguable discourse that the likes of him if given the chance will change the narratives of current generation of  failed and bring to the table of the ordinary a renew hope and a brighter future for the Young.

His Party (PDP) are expected to use his current acceptability, trustworthiness and the reputation he has built for himself in casting to victory in the forth coming National elections. It is believed that a PDP ticket to TJ (Amana) is ticket to victory because of his unwavering records of Service Performance to humanity and the nation.

He was born 52 Years ago to the family of Mr and Mrs Mohammed Amana . He attended Gindiri township Primary School and later to Government Secondary School Bwal bwang Gindiri for his Senior Secondary School Certificate. He holds National Diploma and Higher National Diploma in Business Admintration from Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa. Upon graduation,He has worked with British High Commission before venturing into Private Visa and travel agent. A Contractor of General Merchandise and a Politician of high reputes.

Tijani Mohammed Amana is a Member of People Democratic Party and he has remain an active member since he joined the party in 2003. This is the Political ideology that are lacking in the current generation of politicians as many could not see Political Parties beyond malls.This is the consistency of Hon. TJ that make him a unique Politician among his contemporaries to Represent the good people of Mangu North East Constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly come 2023.

He is a humanitarian per excellence as he gaven it for many to survive,He has been supported Child Education through many interventions, They include sponsoring of over 100 JAMB Candidates in 2021 and 2022 Respectively.He has procured and distributed Uniforms and Excercise Books for less privileged Pupils.Payment of school fees for orphans.In his quest of ensuring that Portable drinking water is accessible,He has drilled Borehole at Sabon Gari Gindiri an initiative to be expanded across the Constituency. He has been offering financial supports to communities as a means of fastracting human development.

The possibility of Amana lobbying and supporting sound Policy legislations that will ensure free access to quality and affordable health Services in Mangu North East is sure.This is a man who have been settling bills to many patients  outside Government.Since joining the People Democratic Party,he has remain very committed in supporting the party both financially and otherwise to ensure that the goals upon which the party is formed are archived to a large extent.

A man who fight and run lives to fight another day,Hon.Amana Contested for the party's primaries even though he lost ,he has since remain committed and unwavery in promoting the fundamental Principles and vision of the Party. 

Leadership failures in Mangu North East has become a parrot cry both to the government who failed to give what they promised and the governed who only read about the promises from a distance on the pages of newspapers.These are some of the narratives he is aspiring to change.

He uses modern strategies and other spheres of development for the good people of his Constituency to save them from shackles of poverty, cacophony of underdevelopment for progress and self actualisation. His love and support for community development are the few reasons why the Hakimin Gindiri Alh. Tanko Adamu set to turban him as the "Zannan Gindiri" on the 2nd of April,2022.

He has added to his archives Awards of Excellence in recognition of his Service to humanity and Community Development. They include,An Icon of Grassroot Empowerment by the Environmental Science Students Association University of Jos Chapter, Committed, Dedicated and Community Developer by National Association of Plateau State Students (NAPSS) FCE Pankshin Chapter, Youth Empowerment by Pyem Students Association of Nigeria and  Icon of Grassroot Empowerment Development by the NTA College Jos among  others.

Many Constituents are beneficiaries of his private esterblishment that has enlisted many under his company payroll to alliviate the over increasing unemployment rate in Nigeria Particularly Mangu North East where he hails from. He is a responsible family man , Married to Hajiya Hairatu and are blessed with 6 beautiful Children.Everybody attests to the fact that Hon.Tijani is a progressive leader who is more interested in putting smiles and food on the tables of his people irrespective of tribes and religion sentiments.
