Dan-agundi: Quintessential Gem In The Hall Of Fame.
POLITICS DIGEST- Achieving greatness in the hall of fame, is driven by one’s insatiable flair to prove his worth in various spheres of human interest, for one to have his name written in gold and poised to make his mark on the sand of time.
Those who had achieved their life ambition, courtesy of their commitment, sacrifice, dedication and doggedness, have been recognized and highly appreciated for what they have done to weather the stom, crossing the tortuous Rubicon and walking the tight rope with the aim of reaching the pinnacle of excellence.
Many, were known to have achieved what was widely regarded as their stunning accomplishments, even at their wunderkind stage , by act of inscrutable destiny, having had the opportunity to circumvent any obstacle that came their way and that they have striven to prove to the doubting Thomases that they are equal to the herculean task.
If the above postulation is anything to go by, Alhaji Baffa Babba Dan-agundi can with no iota of any contradiction be counted in the chorus of those who had achieved greatness in the hall of fame by dint of resilience, commitment, dedication and industriousness, making him to become a credible source of reference, as far as the issue of his meteoric rise to stardom is concerned.
He undoubtedly had his fingers on the tiller in notable spheres of human endeavour as epitomized by his foray into partisan politics , being a mover and shaker on the political lexicon of Kano State, having remarkably served in the State House of Assembly for a memorable stint with his voice hard loud and clear and his opinion worth taking into cognizance.
He came on board as fire brand Chairman of the Kano Roads Traffic Agency popularly known as KAROTA, after succeeding his predecessors who also had their respective stint, and wonderfully fabled a name that made him to be fearsome by those who flouted traffic laws with levity.
He is iron-fisted and being diplomatic as well , knowing that serial violators of the traffic rules and regulations can only be kept at an arms length to ensure that the rules were not broken
