By Musa Bakare.
The love, support, and loyalty of the Kogi people for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are steadfast and unshakable. This bond is rooted in shared struggle and cemented by faith in meaningful reform. The people respect his courage, support his policies, and will stand by him through 2027 and beyond.
However, Asiwaju’s name must not be invoked to justify injustice. There is a line drawn by conscience and principle, and those who cross it do so at their own peril. The mandate of Renewed Hope is neither a tool for political manipulation nor a veil for oppression. Power that disregards equity and justice invites its own reckoning.
The Kogi West Senatorial District has waited too long to produce a governor for the state. It has endured cycles of postponement, empty promises, and unmet assurances. Yet, as Scripture reminds us: “Though the vision tarries, wait for it; it will surely come.” That time is now.
Let the schemers be warned: when a people cry out against prolonged neglect, heaven hears. The land remembers. History does not forgive those who turn away from fairness.
Those who use Asiwaju’s name while denying Kogi West its rightful place stand on the wrong side of justice. They preach peace but act against it, delaying what is due. Such actions will not endure.
This is a season of clarity. Illusions will fade. False arrangements will scatter like dust in the wind. The voice of Kogi West will rise, not in anger, but in unwavering resolve.
Kogi West stands firmly with President Tinubu, uncorced, and will continue to reject injustice. Let every plot against the destiny of the Kogi people be exposed and undone.
