The Chief Administrator of Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi state, Hon. Abu Enesi Ajoge has said that Kogi State will never return to the state of under development, insecurity and maladministration which he said was the bane of development in the state for several years.
According to him, the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello has brought about equity and fairness in the conduct of the affairs of the state.
He stated this in Okene yesterday during the reception for over 10,000 members and supporters of various political parties in Kogi Central Senatorial District of Kogi state who decamped to the All Progressive Party (APC).
Ajoge congratulated the decampees for their bold steps, assuring them of equal treatment.
He hinted that the reason why people decamped from other parties to APC was as a result of the good governance of Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi state.
Ajoge pointed out that the governor has embarked on construction of roads and drainages across the five local government councils in Kogi central, adding that the newly commissioned military base located at Achoze in Okene local government is a testimony that the governor is poised to stamp out crime and criminalities in the state particularly in Kogi central.
He appealed to the decampees from other political parties to APC to give their unalloyed support and cooperation to the state Governor and the party to enable him achieve more for the people of the district.
The decampees said their decision to pitch tent with APC was borne out of their desire to be part of the success story of the new direction agenda of the present administration of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
Also speaking a woman leader of APC in Kogi Central, Hajia Mariam Ibrahim commended the decampees for joining the new direction agenda of Alhaji Yahaya Bello’s administration.
According to her, the present administration is committed to the development of the state by embarking on meaningful projects that will enhanced the socioeconomic activities of Kogi state, stressing that governor Yahaya Bello is focused on how the state can meet up with other developing state like Lagos , Kano, Port Harcourt and Kwara state which she noted shared boundary with Kogi state.
She assured the decampees of equal treatment, not minding that they were new in the party. One of the decampees, Mallam Suleiman Ohida Yusuf who decamped from APGA, said they have seen the light and therefore decided to abandone their party for APC in the interest of development of the district.
Those who decamped to APC includes Hon. Sule Ozovehe Jimoh. The former council leader of Adavi LGA from Ogaminana central led 10 former councillors from PDP to the ruling APC while Mr Folorunsho Salihu led all the youth leaders. Hajia Nusi Yusuf, who was formerly the woman leader of PDP led other women leaders in the area in the defection exercise.
