This news story is craved to open up the worms suspected to be inside the trip made to the president on behalf of the kogi state people. We are doing this story to bring to bear the rumours flying in the air already.
Am privileged to personally analyse the speech delivered By HRM Attah Igala, Dr Michael Ameh Oboni II, Chairman Kogi State Traditional Council On Their Courtesy And Congratulatory Visit to President Muhammed Buhari GCFR On Wednesday 19th June 2019.
The speech is made in history and my analysis will also be history as soon as you finish reading and take a position on e matter at the end of the day. Everything we are going to talk about is already played out in the 21 paragraphed plus a bonus address to president buhari.
Let’s talk a look at these from the from down to the last. Happy ready! But before you judge my write up remember that this is my personal opinion.
1. On behalf of the Kogi State Traditional Council of Chiefs, we bring you warm tidings and felicitation on your re-election and inauguration into office for your second tenure. May Allah consolidate your stay for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians.
Analysis:
The king started his opening with the word on behalf of the kogi state traditional council of chiefs, this statement is not true. They didn’t go for the visit as a family. The chiefs who went were the pro Bello APC camp. We have evidence to say that there are other royal fathers in kogi state who were not in that visit meaning that those who were there are the loyalist to the Governor. And that trip must have provided the opportunity for Mooney to touch ground in all the palaces that were involved at the end of the day. What are such money given for. If you ask me. I will call it an inducement and a thanks for coming package which governors gibe to people who they intend to have control over.
2. As royal fathers from Kogi state, under the First Class Banner across the 21 Local Government Areas of the state, we have come on a duty bound mission to bring you report on realities on ground about governance and general state of wellbeing of our dear state.
Analysis:
It is very clear to note that there’s no law in the constitution of the federal republic of NIGERIA that states that traditional rulers should make a breakdown account of what’s happening in their area of ruling jurisdiction to the president. Mr president didn’t invited them to come tell him all that. The visit was requested on the grounds for them to steal into the heart of the president on some certain issues that have been begging for answers for close to 12 months now. The governor is the person expected to do such a visit and not the traditional rulers. Yahaya Bello is e one to carry the news of good governance to the president if there’s any in the state, more over it is sad to take any matter of such to a president who himself is packaged with the spirit of impunity and disrespect for the rule of law and is seen as an enemy of democracy. A man who the world see as a two sided cutlass soaring through a negative and positive light on Democratic activities. You can not serve two masters, you have to choose one and be free from the other. Like a man of God once said, you can not look up and down with your eyes at the same time. The attitude of president on politics it is very clear where he stands. Traditional rulers can only give account to the president when there’s an unrest in their adobes or when the president makes a visit to their areas in times of public disturbance. It is an insult for traditional rulers to travel to the centre seat of power to give a false account of what is not true about their people.
3. We would like to thank you for the positive influence you have had on our Son, the Governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Analysis:
It is very sad to thank a president for watching governor bello starve the people with the none payment of salaries for close to a year and half. If that particular character is a good way to pay back the people who voted for the APC in 2015 it is a big shame to the party, the governor, the president and the traditional council. The whole world is seeing how the kogi people are suffering since bello became governor and the best thing to say to such a president who will always say nothing on every happenings around the nation is thank you? There is nothing positive to see in the relationship between governor Bello and president buhari as far as we are concerned because a good president would call his anointed son to order and find ways to change the narrative. Kogi state was like every other state in NIGERIA who received a bail out and they used theirs to pay up and today they have no such salary stress but in the case of kogi we have seen a different case and we didn’t the president say a word about it. It was in kogi we started hearing how workers kill themselves because they can not carter for their families. So it is wrong to thank the president for a wrong influence on the governor, it is very clear to say the local word of ‘like father , like son' if Bello is doing very well in kogi the traditional fathers wouldn’t need to visit the president to give any account on e state of things in their domains. The visit would have just been pencilled at congratulating the president on his second term in office. More over it is wrong for anybody to start congratulating the president on his said re election because that election is challenged in court and we have started seeing a strong light that the election was branded with the allegations of government involvement in its activities. Let us not talk about the buhari election for now because we can take the whole day talking about it. We must leave that for another day.
All am saying is that the influence of the president Bello is a very wrong one because we didn’t see anything good in the way kogi state have been managed so far.
4. We would also like to thank you for intended intervention on Federal Government projects which are yet to begin in the state. We expect your full support to drive that into action after this visit.
Analysis:
The royal fathers wasted their precious time in thanking the president for job not done. Whatever the president have said he will do since 2015 have not been done. And the matter of kogi state enjoying the good will of the president is seen. There are not even one single light of a federal project in kogi state by the buhari administration as far as we all can see, so why should he be thanked when he’s building roads, schools, refinery in his home state, and states like kogi that have already started seeing some small development setups in iron production at the ajaukuta company are not considered. If the president is really a great mind as his lovers have always say he should fix the necessary and most important issues of NIGERIA that can provide employment for our people and stop facing wrong long-term and elephant projects that are not in any way reach the people with anything good for now.
5. On the issue of our son, most importantly, he has done fantastically well in the area of Security and Peace building. Kogi state is adjudged by the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics currently as the second most peaceful state in Nigeria. As Royal fathers with first hand reports, this is very true. Unlike the past where insecurity was high with vices such as kidnappings, armed robbery, cultism and other forms of crimes going unabated, today under Gov. Yahaya Bello, the tide has changed. We sleep with our two eyes closed. Most of the economic and social activities in Kogi state go unhindered as our people go about their activities in tranquillity. He was so detailed and proactive in the Security measures that most Federal and State Highways were cleared by 20 meters each on both sides, which would make those using various highways see very far ahead of them to avoid ambushes or kidnappings of various shades by hoodlums on the highways.
Analysis:
The issue of our son! Most importantly! He has done very well in the area of security and peace building; these and every other is not true at all. The kidnapping and killers in kogi state is still going on and we have heard time without number how people can’t travel across the state at night and sometimes even at broad day light these wicked actors of robbery take over the high ways steal peoples money and goods and even adopt others into the bush on a daily bases and these people visit the president and tell him lies? Anyway the president is not aware of whatever is going on so whatever he’s ld is what he knows, let’s use this opportunity to let the president and the whole world know that kogi state is not safe at all. The insecurity in the kogi state of today is for real. Kidnappings, killings and adoption of people finding what to eat is very huge and should be told to the authorities so that the best ways can be channelled to outing a stop to it. Kogi state has the largest individual carrying of guns in NIGERIA for now. The university students are mostly involved in cultism and the fights between different cult groups is a daily issue in all the higher institutions in the state with the kogi state university taking the lead. With all these and more happening in kogi state, his on earth would you describe kogi as a safe state to live. Mr president it is not true that kogi state is safe. And by the standard of what we are seeing it is very untrue to say kogi is the most peaceful state in Nigeria when a state like bayelsa, anambra, abia, Enugu, delta, gombe, Niger and cross river states are there. It is the biggest of all lies to say kogi is a peaceful state. How can a state be peaceful when killings and kidnapping plus cultism is the order of the day! How can a state be peaceful when the ruling party in the state is in confusion to present a flagbearer candidate to represent the party at a forthcoming governorship elections! It is a shameful thing to say that kogi state is peaceful because everything happening in the state is seen by the world. Apart from president buhari who says he’s aware nobody will want to hear that bull story of kogi been a peaceful state.
6. He has also done well with infrastructural development within the state. Roads which have been abandoned for many years under different Governors have been reconnected back to the grid for businesses, safety of passers-by and ease of travels. Across the three Senatorial districts of the state, various roads are ongoing at various stages of completion as this Council have observed. As the Chairman of this Council, the Umomi/Ajaka/Idah road is currently nearing completion. This road leads to my Palace, which is the house of the ancient stool of the Igala kingdom. Such is spread across other parts of the state.
Analysis:
As the roads mentioned I personally agree small that bello is working on it. The speed of which the project is going is what is wrong about the projects. He has done little in the areas of other developmental spreads across the state like it or not. The truth should be told.
7. As our son, he has also demonstrated his detribalized nature in managing the complex state populated by over 6 ethnic groups. He has demonstrated this by equal distribution of Government appointments in the state without any ethnic group or groups of interests, short-changed. This is also his style in project-spread. This has doused the tension of ethnic mistrust, religious and class distortions in Government appointments and patronage which has been the norm.
Analysis:
As our son, he has also demonstrated his detribalized nature in managing the complex state populated by over 6 ethnic groups. He has demonstrated this by equal distribution of Government appointments in the state without any ethnic group or groups of interests, short-changed.
This is true to mention but a few. He has shared power to every area of the state, but the question remains that the people that he gave power to, are they performing as expected. It is not just to spread the power to all the zones or tribes. It is also important to know if they are doing their duties as the designates they are holding in driving the new direction government of yahaya bello.
8. In reflection of his detribalized nature, he appointed an Igala man, Edward Onoja as his Chief of Staff even whilst he is Ebira, he also lifted a 63 year old embargo on some of our Festivals which were never revisited. In the same kind, he has graded and upgraded many traditional stools that has been due for decades without any attention paid to them. These efforts have translated into unity and harmony. Matching that, he has approved the building of Kogi State Government House Chapel for the Christians.
Analysis:
The appointment of the person of Hon Edward Onoja has nothing to do with Bello been a detribazed personality because the two have been a daul years even before the elections in 2015 and eventually becoming governor of the state. Onoja's appointment as kogi state chief of staff is purely an appointment of trust. They have been together in business and politics so that has nothing to do with making an Igala man his chief of staff. Edward Onoja doesn’t hold any brief for the Igala nation to say because before the appointment there was not nomination from the palace that presented Edward for such a position. His appointment is expected to be seen as a balancing table for appointments made by Bello and Edward immediately the stick of power moved from the hands of late Audu to Bello.
9. Your Excellency, as much as he has done well, we would also like to appreciate you for some requests from our son which have been granted and others yet to come, which when granted will consolidate on the growth we have seen so far:
Analysis:
What are the requests bello sent to the president on the state that shouldn’t mentioned in the public. We thought that quality leadership runs with a public eyes. What will the government do with out the people. The people comes first. It is not a crime for the government to let the people know what they are planning to do for the people. The major reason why the government is there is for the people to have a total value for leadership so the people are expected to have a first hand information on what the government is billed to do for them in terms of providing basic amenities for them.
10. We would like to thank you specifically for the approval of 30.8Billion naira bailout which is the outstanding tranche of bailouts for states, meant for payments of salaries which has been a bone in the neck of our son, because as Royal Fathers, he has explained the challenge to us in that area and we understand. The final release of that sum to the state would help in defraying some arrears owed so far.
Analysis:
The bailout funds that is released by the president to kogi state is another way to device the people to vote for the ruling party as some quarters have starting talking in the state in general.
Why was the bailout not released over the months. Why should it be now that the elections are close. Its the same thing that the vice president did with the trader Moni project. Since after elections we have heard nothing about the so called trader Moni again. And we see the same thing coming up in kogi state with the bailout released by the president. This is the kind of democracy we call “Mumu game plan”
How can one hold back a bailout for a state under the chains of non payment of salaries. Is that not wickedness? Let us the reasons why that bailout was held back. Who held it back. And why was it held back. Is the reason about trust. The president don’t trust the governor? Or the governor doesn’t deserve the funds support the other states got in solving their own salary issues? All these and more questions need to be asked. Why did it happen like this and a lot of people died from this attitude of the president not granting the payment over the months. The iniquity of the non payment of the bailout can not be overlooked because of the havoc it has caused so far in the state. Who will pay for the damages caused by the non payment of the salaries to the people. The people suffered so much and who is the queries expected to land upon.
11. We would like to specially request that you look into many Federal roads in Kogi state which are in deplorable states due to the high traffic Kogi roads suffer as it borders ten states across Nigeria, serving as a link between the North and South.
Analysis:
We have seen other state governors fix some federal roads in their respective states and get paid in time by the federal government. Why can’t these same roads be done by the Bello government! It can be done. We have seen it done in other places. Federal roads are very bad around kogi state and that is one of the major reasons why the crime rates are very high in kogi high ways. The high ways in kogi state are the mist dangerous I’m Nigeria because of its disgraceful site. And that has caused so much pains to the state people and other Nigerians travelling on a daily bases. If buhari loves kogi state and takes bell as his political son these roads should be fixes so that Bello can be left alone by the people. Bello is insulted on a daily bases by Nigerians passing through the state into other states not knowing that these roads are federal roads. The bunch of the insults goes to the state governor most of the time and not the president who is said to be away from the truth on what is happening across NIGERIA. It is said that as soon as one becomes president in NIGERIA there would be a Vail that is sent to cover his eyes so wouldn’t to able to see what the site of the nation is. And thereby fumble as president at the end of the day. Buhari as president is a very painful state to a lot of Nigerians because his administration is jam-packed with impunity which is not good for democracy the world over. Merit is not respected in leadership when impunity is in control.
Demerit grows by the day in a leadership when the head of the leadership is a strong player with impunity as his driving force.
12. We would also like to appreciate you for the approval of N11 Billion Infrastructure fund approved for work and maintenance of Federal Roads in the state.
Analysis:
We have not seen any maintenance of any federal road in kogi state so we need explanation of the said monies the president is been thanked for in this visit.
13. The quick Execution of roads identified under the order E7 would not only ease the lives of our people and Nigerians who ply those roads but would open up to the state to national and international socio-economic activities.
Analysis:
The identification is just a way to deceive Nigerians that work is under way. Government should enter the project on the go, as far as they have marked the sites, work should start so we know that its underway. It is even a fraud to mark a site and don’t start the work. We are tied of sign post lettering the whole nation of roads to be maintained or constructed and we see nothing after the post are licked by sun. I think the efcc should also stand up to the job its been created for. How can a government put a sign post about an approved project and nothing is seen in moths about the same project.
14. We would also like to seek your special intervention for the Federal Government to take-over or provide substantial support for the Project Power Kogi East (PPKE), which intends to light up 90% of the largest Senatorial district, Kogi East which have been in perpetual darkness for decades.
Analysis:
These is one of the most important issues to be discussed in such a meeting with a true Democratic president who understands what it means to build a relationship across all people in a nation. These request is on point and should be commended by the people. This are the kind of requests we expect a traditional ruler to make and not telling the president about something that bus not true. The traditional rulers can’t be telling lies just because they are in support of a government that is been accused by all quarters across the nation for incompetence and impunity. The people accusing the bello administration of weak performance are not just kogi state people because when you read the lips of the people on the pages of the media you will see it for yourself that the people know why they are accusing the bello administration of been weak and incompetent.
15. We would also like you to place priority on the Ajaokuta Steel Complex. The potentials of the Steel can fix unemployment issues in Kogi state through direct and indirect employment and transform the industrial hub of Nigeria.
Analysis:
The issue of the steel company is over flogged by not only kogi state people to the buhari administration. The non compliance of the peoples request to fix the company into a working industry is a clear sign of irresponsibility on the side of the government. The government has no focus that’s why they cant see the importance of setting up the steel factory to provide employment for the youths who have almost turned into armed robbers and kidnappers along the line. Therefore, with these disgraceful attitude of the non compliance of fixing the steel company it is complete and total to say this buhari administration should not be taken serious. It is a total frustrated and doomed administration where impunity is the order of the day. Its only an irresponsible administration that wouldn’t take up the opportunity to turn around the lives of the people using a project that is already half completed.
16. Your Excellency, we would also appeal that Kogi state be given priority in special fund support for social and agricultural programs. The Omi Dam power project is one of those examples. We would also like to appeal that Kogi as a vulnerable state along the shores of the Rivers Niger and Benue, the responses to flooding, prevention, relocation of affected victims and other matters connected therewith be of utmost importance to the National Emergency Management Authority, NEMA and the Federal Government of Nigeria, to always support the people of Kogi State.
Analysis:
This is yet another very good request that I can see here in the visit to Mr president.
The kogi people honestly need all these and more. But the question is. Will the said support funds eventually approved by the president not find its way into personal pockets as we have seen in kogi in the past and I’m other states? The request is positive but the intensions of the government in power on such monies are not trusted. We have seen the government collect monies for one thing and using it for another thing. This character is fraud and should be called to order by the efcc. When funds are made out for a thing it must be used for it or legislated into something profiting and not to be spent by the government without due considerations.
17. The connection of Kogi State via rail to Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory would also add value and reduce stress on our major highways, including transportation of commercial products.
Analysis:
It is only a weak thinking person that will not be seeing a wonderful potential from making a connection on rail transport to its federal capital city of power. The traditional rulers need not to appeal on this case because it is what we should expect from the government if they really want the people to enjoy the dividends of democracy. Like it or not the abuja train transportation design system can’t work without its connections to nearby states and cities. Places like lokoja, keffi, akwanga, suleja, and others must be linking so the business and development angle of the project can be achieved in record timing. So on this note government must fix its development deals if really we are in for a democracy without impunity militarising government action plan.
18. We appeal that you support the Government of Kogi State and our son the Governor in placing qualified Kogi citizens into key positions in your cabinet, administration and various MDAs, chief of them is the Ministerial position. We would like to request the upgrade of the Ministerial status given to Kogi state to a higher responsibility in your cabinet based on the performance of Kogi state in the last elections that won overall 93% electoral victory; winning the state for the Presidential, winning 2/3 of the Senatorial districts, 7/9 of the Federal House of Representatives and winning 25/25 at the State Assembly Levels. This has shown that our people, the people of Kogi state are with you and for you, along with the tireless and proactive nature of our son, the Governor and his team who delivered that result which is first in the history of Kogi State.
Analysis:
This above statement is partisan in nature and not accepted to be a word coming from the mouth of a Royal father who shouldn’t taking side most especially as the state moves towards electing a new governor come November.
The royal there have already taken a side in who they want to be their governor. But its a pity that the people have not spoken. And on election day we shall know if the people are stronger than their traditional rulers who most of the day don’t been have a voters card to vote, moreover many of them have been said to be deceiving yahaya hello for his second term bid. They are doing what they have been asked to do because they prefer to do his biding in the face and behind do the biding of their people. Remember that kogi state is one of the most important state in the north central zone of NIGERIA. And over the years we have seen the way the votes goes. The igala man respects his traditional leader only when it comes to the palace and traditional values. The Attah of Igala land is said to be speaking his personal opinion on the matter of Bello’s return as kogi governor maybe he and his local council members are been threaten or have been painted and bath with money as is the nature of governors in NIGERIA in election times such as this.
Even if money changed hands for the traditional fathers to carry to the president the campaign preaching of Bello a man that is said to have a very low support from his own party at the national level.
The traditional ruling council of kogi state is seen as the last option for bello to return as governor using the platform of the APC.
The planned as its said was to use the said visit to mobilise support from the president who is said to have shopped for a replacement already. That why one of the response the president gave the traditional rulers about Bello’s election was to make sure he goes back to the state and campaign to the people. My advise to the traditional rulers in kogi is to stay clear from the forthcoming elections because this attitude of the traditional council interference can coaster home a negative unrest and the grass will be the one that will suffer the pains of every fight, meaning that peradventure Bello loses the return bid as the case maybe, the traditional council interference has injected a bad blood to the politics of the state and this is very wrong for the state. All traditional rulers are expected to be seen a fathers to all political office seekers no matter the case maybe but in the case of this kind of political statement made here to the president by the Attah himself is not a good omen at all no matter what anybody wishes to think. Bello pushed the traditional rulers forward to represent him to the president as a governor who is doing very well and deserves a return ticket under the impunityfied APC forgetting that the eyes of the gods of the land is watching and getting ready to strick on election day.
One of our source while writing this report said even if Bello travels across NIGERIA to invite every traditional ruler in NIGERIA to help him appeal to the president or the APC the kogi people shall never vote him as governor because in the first place Bello wasn’t the person they voted for in 2015. The person said he has never won any election and will never win any in the state because of the style of leadership he adopted after enjoying power from the hands of fate.
The people say bello has nothing to show as a man who controls the state and doesn’t deserve a second term. And they will do everything positive and possible to make sure he does return. If he likes let him give guns and money to the youths in all the polling stations across the state he’s time is up. As for me the writer I would like to say that with the little search for power interview I have done personally Bello still has chances of returning to office. The loopholes on ground layer by the PDP is still wide and bello can’t be that blind not to find them out and penetrate into power for the second term. Moreover the bello I know is not a push over. He can play the game as much as a lot of people wouldn’t believe. He has the power at hand. He has the money at hand. He has his traditional rulers at hand for now. He has the worlds most hungry voters at hand waiting to sell their votes for as less than #500. With other booby-traps layer down by the supposed blind PDP leaders in the state pushing forward their sons and son in laws forgetting the disadvantage it must surely cost.
It is sad to remind kogi people that the just concluded elections in the state was rooted with irregularities and the world knows that such elections are described as fraud because its product is been challenged in the court of law so brands shouldn’t be used as a bragging subject in making buharigs ministerial list. In a clean and fair election the PDP is known to have more structure on ground in kogi to tussle power from whosoever because the campaign funds and operational supports wouldn’t be a challenge at any time. So meaning that the concluded state assembly, reps, senatorial and presidential elections in the state were conducted in a fraudsters character where voters were induced and election material fortified to suit a particular candidate and party to emerge as winner. Our traditional rulers re here by advised to watch their mouth on what they say today so that when the personality they are supporting fail to make up a return their domains won’t be punished along that line. We have seen a situation where the sins of the father is afflicted onto the forth generation and we pray that it won’t happen in kogi as our fathers respect themselves and bless all parties and contenders seeking to be governor of kogi state. Don’t take sides with any political party so your people won’t through stones at you whence you appear in public.
21. We would like to thank you for the honor in obliging our requests in coming to Kogi State on a working visit to commission the various projects which is currently at completion and others at advanced stage of completion before the November elections. As it relates to that, we would also like to make some key demands as traditional rulers, fathers and key stakeholders of our land; we have come here to tell the world that we are Royal Fathers, responsible for various domains within Kogi state. As custodians of culture and traditions with many subjects under us, appointed by God almighty as his representatives on earth, if we do not speak without fear or favour, that is tantamount to miscarriage of responsibilities on our people. As fathers domiciled at home, knowing the past and current realities, we are coming under one roof to demand in Endorsement for His Excellency, Gov. Yahaya Bello to consolidate for re-election. The work he has started is with a foundation, the type we have never witnessed in Kogi state before, especially peace and security, we therefore ask that your support is also needed to ensure this journey of growth without political abortion . We have read in different media platforms how people who are not at home with us sponsor various types of propaganda and fake news that belongs to only them in the diaspora, we as custodians of our people and culture know better. They have called themselves stakeholders, even though we do not know them except when elections are here. We would like to appeal that maintenance of peace is our topmost priority. Kindly ensure that a compact and cohesive team of party members are sent to supervise activities of the state, placing our peace and Security above any other political interests, ensuring that moles who pose as stakeholders are not allowed to tamper with the peace and Security of Kogi state.
Analysis:
This is the most shameful requests of all as far as we are concerned coming from traditional rulers who are expected to speak the truth without favour.
Why do you have to appeal to the president to consider a governor that is working to return to power. The people in APC are not blind for God sake. They can see with their eyes and hear with their ears what is happening in kogi state. The leadership of the APC are not fools if you ask me in this matter. Nobody should talk for a result oriented facts. The facts are there for everybody to see. If the governor has done well his people will vote him back to power no matter what anybody thinks. This is the highest hiegth of insult to the kogi state traditional council and it will take along time to heal this wound of disgust insult received from the presidency. How can you tell a president to help make a governor who has done well for his people. What business does the president got to do with the primary elections of a state that is enjoying a good governor as he’s been painted by the traditional rulers. For me I see the traditional rulers as political persuading contractors who were appointees of the governor to push support for his reelection to office.
If you ask me I will categorically say bello has very poor political advisers who are not fixing the broken tea cup that needs a total renewal. When a drinking glass is broken it is foolishous to mend it with glue. Solution is to buy a brand new cup that should serve the purpose of a quality delivery. Bello needs a sound political think tank so it can consolidate on the best way to retain power and it is honest to say that the political calculation of bello so far over the months have been so trouble shooting and it makes the people conceal off any possible votes on his name or party. If I were bello by now I would be spending more time in repositioning a new political platform for my money into a second term in office. Moreover the APC is already roasted a platform to use in this period where the united nations, civil societies and even the European union have sent in their report on the just concluded election as a faulted election. The best thing for yahaya bello to do right now is to uproot into reality a fast move to rediscover the formidable force of creating a new political structure overnight to squabble whosoever the PDP would bring on table to measure up on election day. It might be a Mohammed Tettes the green horn with no efcc stains attached on him or the Wada brothers in persons of Idris and Musa and Abubakar Ibrahim Idris who are the simplest persons to beat with e Oto'go syndrome.
For me it is very clear that the PDP would wake up and present Mohammed Tettes while the UDP Chairman spoke over the weekend that the united Democratic party UDP has finally made its choose of not fielding any candidate with a fraud case at hand. And r now we have seen that the UDP is parading just one aspirant Abdulrazaq Baba Emeje, a businessman and called by his friends as the ‘kogi governor 2019’ who is said to be working with the youths underground to shoot off e PDP and the APC out of place.
Bello should see the handwriting on the wall and do the needful as a young man who must teach the older generation of politicians how to rule and lead the people. My finally advise to Bello is that he must get ready for the battle of his return to office without throwing of stones to the opposition because at the moment we have seen that the ruling party in the state is in a total comatose and can’t help win any election for him. The APC in kogi will end up like the one we have seen in zamfara state and that will spike doom for him. Bello I call you to make a move out of the APC now that e ovation is high for you. Apc will truncate your return to power. That party is hitting the rocks. The APC is on a timed bomb and its explosion is near.
“We are firm and resolute in our decision, after studying the various groups and interests vying for the position and we have decided to pitch our tent here, for the sake of posterity, fairness, equality and growth of our dear state.”
Bonus Analysis:
Shame to all the traditional rulers for publicly saying your tent is located in a failed political party that is branded with impunity and disrespect for the rule of law in Nigeria. The flood that comes with aiding a wrong voice to sound stronger will surely caught up with all of you have decided to do your people this wrong. If people are afraid to talk on this matter, the media can never be shut off the truth. We owe the people this information and we shall go this far to make them hear it. We are the watch dog of the people.
Like it or not, a traditional ruler is not expected to use such language at a time like thins. Kogi state doesn’t belong to one person. Kogi is a state where people have the rights to whosoever they want to be their governor come 2019.
