I congratulate all the good people of Kogi state on the 31st anniversary of its creation.
To the Governors / Administrators that have had the opportunity of leading the state and their Deputies, beginning from Col. Danladi Zakari to His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Bello, I say a big thank you for your positive contributions.
To those who must have contributed positively in their private capacity aimed at realising the dream of the founding fathers, I say a big thank you.
We must realise that Kogi is the most blessed state in Nigeria with human and material resources in abundance and must therefore know that what binds us together as a people is greater than the imaginary factors threatening to tear us apart.
We may as a state not gotten to where we ought to be, certainly, we have left where we used to be and by the grace of the Almighty God and with hard work in unity, we shall get there.
God bless our dear state and her people.
