As
the good people of Kogi State mark the 26th anniversary of the creation of the
State, Governor Yahaya Bello, has called on all to do an introspection on how
far we have come as a people.
The
Governor said he believes that if everyone had imbibed the spirit of Kogi First
all these years, the state would have been one of the most prosperous states in
the country today, stating that it is the driving force behind his commitment
to have a unified state.
"The
beauty of our individuality is the strength in our diversity therefore it
should unite and not divide us," Governor Bello said. He called on the
youths of the state to continually build peace as no meaningful development can
take place without peaceful coexistence and security.
The
Governor called on all Kogites to recall how far we have come as a state from
the days when Kogi State was a safe haven for kidnappers, armed robbers and
terrorists, when people lived in the crippling fear of criminals and investors
avoided our dear state like a plague. "The story today is different
because we faced the menace headlong without minding whose ox was gored and
today, Kogi is safer than ever," he said.
Governor
Bello asked all Kogites to draw inspiration from the success recorded together
in tackling insecurity under his leadership as work is ongoing to defeat
poverty and ensure economic prosperity for all. He asked all sons and daughters
of the State to put the state first in all their doings as it is the only way
it can move in the New Direction to the desired destination where everyone has
ample opportunities to reach their potentials.
