Ohimege Igu of Kotonkarfe, His Royal Majesty Alhaji Abdulrazak Isa has described the governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Hon. Leke Abejide has a true light bearer.
The revered first class Kogi monarch made this known when Abejide and his running mate, Dr. Idris Omede paid him a courtesy visit in the palace on Wednesday.
The monarch said Abejide deserved the royal blessings because he has given himself to the upliftment of royalty and has upheld the inalienable royal service of monarchs.
The Ohimege stated that Hon. Leke Abejide was not the first governorship candidate to come to his palace, but before his visit, traditional rulers from his immediate constituency called and notified him of his numerous achievements especially how he recently gifted all graded traditional rulers from his constituency SUV vehicles and of other magnanimous community projects he has embarked on.
“Leke Abejide is a man with capacity, I see a man with the enthusiasm, a true light bearer with competence to deliver good governance,” he said.
The Ohimege, while offering his royal blessing to Hon. Leke and Dr Idris Omede, said they are being called to leadership to serve the state and in their pursuit, they should always maintain peace.
The ADC governorship candidates, Hon. Leke Abejide and Dr. Omede promised quality governance, especially by promoting agriculture in Kotonkarfe which is the primary and major business of the people of Koto.
Hon Leke Abejide stated that his focus is education, agriculture, and dredging the river to see that Kogi State has a mini seaport and other government responsibilities to the people of Kotokarfe will not be left out.
“We will deliver the dividends of democracy to the people with the utmost sense of responsibility, through standard health care services, education, and promoting agriculture when elected.”
According to the Hon. Leke Abejide, “These are not mere political promises; these are words coming from a man who is tested and proven. If I, by God’s grace, can accomplish all the things I did in Yagba Federal Constituency within 4 years, God will also empower me to do what is right and much more in Kogi state when elected.
“I have been tested and never found wanting, the track records of my performance are everywhere in Yagba even though my detractors may want to play down on them. I am not in short supply of ability to perform if given the opportunity.”
He added, “This is no time for further experiment, we should get it right; we are running out of time, and we can’t afford to make any further mistakes. I, therefore, in all humility urge Your Majesty, Ohimege and the good people of Kotonkarfe to support Leke/Omede to win.”
