2027: BANDODO PROMISES ₦1BN ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ZING, PUSHES 20% CAPITAL BUDGET FOR LGAs
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Zing Constituency in the Taraba State House of Assembly, Hon. Genesis Emmanuel Bandodo, Esq., has unveiled a legislative agenda aimed at guaranteeing greater capital investment in local government areas across Taraba State.
Bandodo, in a statement marking the commencement of campaigns ahead of the 2027 elections, pledged to sponsor a bill requiring the Taraba State Government to allocate at least 20 per cent of its annual capital expenditure to development projects across the state’s 16 local government areas.
Under the proposal, Bandodo said Zing Local Government Area would be positioned to benefit from development interventions worth at least ₦1 billion every fiscal year.

He argued that addressing infrastructure and development gaps across communities should not depend solely on political promises but should be backed by legislation that guarantees equitable distribution of government capital projects.
“Our people deserve more than promises; they deserve a representative who will use the instrument of law to create lasting structures for development, accountability and equity,” Bandodo said.
The PDP candidate said his agenda, if elected, would focus on purposeful and people-oriented representation, particularly legislation, oversight and initiatives capable of attracting sustainable development to Zing Constituency.
Drawing attention to his professional background as a lawyer, Bandodo expressed confidence that his experience would strengthen his contribution to lawmaking and legislative oversight in the Taraba State House of Assembly.
He also presented the 2027 contest in Zing as an opportunity for generational change, urging voters to consider a new direction for the constituency.
