Driven by an almost missionary zeal in ensuring the total political, economic and social liberation of the less privilege irrespective of religion or tribe, Hon. Samson Calvin started his rescue mission as always seen his primary vocation while in his NULGE elective office in the Local Government system as his duty, benevolent and charity to all the Local Government workers. He uses his elective office to improve the lot of the Local Government employee contrary to the corrupt act of his other colleagues who uses their own to feather their nest, irrespective of the economic fortunes of the workers that voted for them in the first place.
Possessed of a razor-sharp intellect and a forthright and straight-talking disposition that has no truck for undue grandstanding and semantic distinctions and double speak, Hon. Samson has built an enviable reputation as a former Ganye Local Council NULGE Chairman, State welfare officer of NULGE and Auditor. He does not engage in dishing out vainglorious, empty promises and one eminent figure that holds personal integrity and honour as a standard that other colleagues would do well to emulate.
As a former director in the Local Government and the NULGE executive, Hon. Samson has used his administrative wherewithal’s in helping the political leadership of the LG system to work on the right part that add lustre to their administrations. His mature counsel, timely and sincere advice, intellectual vigour to many Local Government political leadership who appreciate him and excel in their different modus operandi, have no doubt prove that Hon. Calvin’s is a sterner stove and has really carve out a niche in the world of administration.
It is indeed one of the reasons for the extremely high regard in which Hon. Samson Calvin is held among his peers is his unequalled reputation as an epitome of rectitude and integrity, a standard bearer of truth, respect and honour who does not engage in rumour, speculation or meddlesome hearsay.
If Hon. Samson can be selfless in his hey days in the Local Government system, using his NULGE office In protecting and defending the interest and welfare of the workers at the Local and state level, which became a legendary example for his fearless commitment to always stand on the side of the weak workers as their champion and his humane and benevolent spirit especially for people of Ganye chiefdom, if given an opportunity to represent the people of Ganye constituency in the State house of Assembly come 2023, he will ensure a crucial democratic dividends. He will support the continual growth of our educational system by given out genuine scholarship to our youths who wants to go to school, ensuring youth and women empowerment sectors at a frenetic pace. As a graduate and a Master’s degree holder in Public Administration, Samson is highly respected and well regarded for his articulate, erudite and cerebral grasp of policy issues, having also established himself as an unassailable philanthropy who generosity cut across religion, ethnic and political divides, he will re-define the concept of democracy as enshrined by its founding fathers which was later opposed by some present political office holders if given the mandate. Hon. Samson selfless patriotic service which has become part of his primary duty to his people cannot be overemphasizes, he has influence via Community and Social Development Agency (CSDA) in drilling boreholes to some community under his constituency which help in abating the problem of clean portable water scarcity. The same agency with the help of Hon. Samson has also construct a class room hall in Gurum Panwa.
There is no gainsaying the fact that our present political office holders have failed us woefully, and we need the likes of Calvin’s to save our constituency from the jaws of the self-centered politician. Our present political office holders are driven by their personal selfish ambition on the part of the political class who are more in a hurry always if not themselves, they try to position their loyalist to plunder the resource of the land to their benefit.
Hon. Samson flays the politics of self-service by most of those in elective and appointive leadership positions, the very reason he has embark on a rescue mission to contest and make the difference. ‘’if politicians are said to insufficiently deliver the right goods to the people and politics is full of deceits, it is, therefore, the good people that must sanitize it.’’ A cursory look at Hon. Samson Calvin track record was indeed a leader that can never be faulted on the basis of religion or tribalism, the twin factors that are the underbelly of our politics and governance, his true character, just as it is cast on stone, is one that is presently needed to pull Ganye, constituency from the present unending hardship.
