| Jubrin Isah & Yahaya Bello. |
The
second term bid of the amiable governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello seem
to be gathering some very irresistible momentum, as men and women of worth in
the state are giving their support to the man said to have done well in the
last three and half years as governor of the state.
One
of those individuals who are throwing their weights around the governor is the
Senator-Elect for the Kogi East Senatorial District, Alhaji Jibrin Isah, also
known as Echocho.
Speaking
to Newsmen, the Senator-Elect say: I am wholeheartedly endorsing the bid of my
friend and brother, Yahaya Bello, for a second term in Office as Governor of
Kogi State. I have taken a while to make this decision because the welfare and
progress of the great people of my Kogi East Constituency and Kogi State as a
whole lie in the balance.
I
am a man who has poured his life into the pursuit of the overall best interests
of my people and State and for many years, first as a professional, then as a
businessman and lately as a politician, I have dedicated myself to achieving
this objective and in the process, I have become intimately acquainted with the
peculiarities of our state, the challenges of her people and the perfidies of
her politicians.
According
to him, “I have experienced firsthand the character and leadership of several
past occupants of Government House, Lokoja and I can attest that Governor
Yahaya Bello stands out for trustworthiness, forthrightness and commitment to
good governance and I would rather have him preside over the affairs of my
state for the next four years than any of the other individuals who have shown
interest in the job.
I
admit, Alhaji Jubrin Isah says, that no society has ever found Plato’s
Philosopher-King, that prototypical ruler who by a perfect blend of knowledge,
intelligence, reliability and simplicity is the epitome of good governance.
Leaders may emerge who display his ideal attributes to a lesser or a greater
degree, but none can achieve his perfection. So, Governor Bello is no
Philosopher-King, but I have observed that he possesses a sincere desire to
lead well, a disposition to serve the people and the political will to take
difficult decisions and follow through on them.
The
Governor has shown great promise in his first term and I am convinced by his
track record that he remains our best option towards a brighter future for Kogi
state from amongst those who present themselves and meet the legal requirements
to run for the position of Governor, as Economic Blueprint, which was unfolded
during the last Kogi State Economic Summit is being pursued, resulting in various
partnership arrangements, meant to harness the abundant natural resources, and
equally revive some of the hitherto vibrant government enterprises, in the
State, in order to create employment opportunities for all categories of
Kogites.
It
is thus my considered opinion, after due consultations with my followers and
stakeholders, that for the Kogi State Gubernatorial Elections in November, 2019
our incumbent Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, remains the best candidate, the
Senator-Elect stressed, calling on all lovers of the state to join him to give
Bello the fidelity and support he deserve to win for the betterment of Kogi
people.
