Politics is nothing close to raising dust of unfounded theories and constituting nuisance, politics is the battle of the mind when translated in igala language. Therefore, is about the minds involved not the might showcased.
A foundation is laid but if destroyed, what can the APC ruling party in kogi state do? Their leverages hinges on the structures existing to achieve their objectives through the local government thugs you may wish to call chairmen smuggled to power for a time like this.
Now that karma has completed it’s circles hurling back what was hurled, the existing works of a desperado willing to offer his people a ransome to achieve his sole individualistic agenda must be spotted and reduced to piles of rumbles.
Failure to achieve this in a hurry means a leverage to the ruling part. We must be mindful of the thugs clothed in the raiments of political class. This could be the little foxes that can spoil the vine.
It is time to define politics is the right sense of the word especially in a democracy. Politics is about representative leadership therefore, the interest of the electorates must out do the interest of the elected. Politics is a platform created to foster growth and development not the upgrading of an individual to the status of demigod.
Politics is about the people and the people alone, Politics isn’t an easy passport to accumulating wealth, the access to state resources that Politics offers is to appropriate and channel the resources to enhance progress within the geography governed, not the cancerous greed of trying to be richer than the state that made you.
Fellow Igalas, we now have the opportunity to right our wrongs or to continue shamelessly in a state of redundance. The circles of life has presented the correcting fluids to wipe our errors but we may wish to magnify our shamelessness. We now have the opportunity to appreciate brotherhood but we may choose to trend the destructive lane of witchcraft and gross diabolism to pull the triggers at ourselves and watch strangers takeover our heritage.
It is time to unite and claim back the mandate but I will like I have always maintain my ground that we must frown at the traditional Politics of as usual entrenched in Kogi state. We want a Kogi we can be proud to call home, a Kogi that will live up to its potential of becoming the next economic hub of Africa, a Kogi that will become the landing seaport in the north central connecting other part of Nigeria. A Kogi that will become the home of hospitality in the rankings of Dubai considering it’s maritime potentials.
This dreams are possible with the right leadership installed not the enthroned locals of the past who have dragged our collective pride to the mud. Today Kogi state stands as one of the backward state in Nigeria, yet with a good internally generated revenue but misappropriated to further the cultures of greed and self seeking aggrandizement.
The horse is galloping home, hunger as reformated the brains of our people, we saw the greatest height of injustice, we saw what they swallowed that was beyond the elasticity of their oesophagus to bear. What a greed.
Now an auditor general of local government areas, is dusted to takeover the reign of corruption and further the season two of the white lions episodes. Kogi, they swear for us. We say no to what is coming, the rider of the white horse must make hey because the people have spoken and the voices of the people maybe the voice of God.
The broom has failed, Kogi state is dirty with the impurities of corruption and gross unaccountability. We need change but not the change of the broom but a change achievable with speed and I believe the horse can take us their. We need the horse to catch up with development, we need the horse to catch up with quality healthcare and sound education, we need the horse to catch up with state of the art infrastructure.
