God Almighty is at his best, the political gigsaw puzzles in Kogi States have finally delivered their verdict by a technical knockout as the hand of Governor Yahaya Bello was raised high over Wada and Faleke. The looser have to duck their heads in shame because they refused to listen to my strong warnings when I said to them whoever so ventured to fight Governor Yahaya Bello will be fighting God. The God Almighty cannot be mocked. Governor Yahaya Bello was the chosen one of God to revive Kogi State. You cannot question God why not me. The rest of the half-baked politicians were questioning God why they are not the chosen one when they decided to fight the case.
I am not at all surprised about the verdict because I knew for sure that is how it will be, except God has no hand in it. Everyone including a child that was just born will tell, touch not my anointed or else you will fight the battle that you will never win.
Now it is obvious to them that God can never be mocked. Those Ebira who were half baked in politics can now go home and search their souls whether the fight against Yahaya Bello really actually worth it. They need to go home and consult their Gods in prayer asking for forgiveness. God in his mercy will forgive them if they eventually and truthfully prayed such prayer.
These sons of our land who have stood with Faleke in fighting Governor Bello did what they did, not because their hearts tell them to do it. They did what they did, because of their selfish interest instead of the collective interest. Some of them did what they did because of greed. Since God has spoken it is time for repentance and asks God’s forgiveness with their hearts.
I will equally urge Governor Yahaya Bello to have it in his heart to forgive them but not to forget. Forget it, will mean drawing them closer to yourself to hurt you. Give each and every one of them long spoon to eat with you. As a leader you have to learn how to forgive but learn how not to forget because if you do they will turn around to hurt you again.
I urge the Governor to continue in his quest to be a pivotal of youth’s involvement in his leadership. The only reason why God harkened to your voice is not because of your holiness in the sight of God it is merely because God knew that the youths of Kogites have suffered a lot in their quest to change twenty five years of poverty and agony that series of administration of Kogi State have brought upon the youths.
His Excellency should humble himself because no one is bigger than God. The Governor should remember that his ability in becoming the Governor was very unique which has never happened in the history of Nigeria for those youths must be the center of his leadership. The Governor must equally realize that he will be answerable to God if he failed to do what is just in the sight of God. His focus effort and determination to change and redirect Kogi State as whole will happen only if he asked God for directives.
So far his appointments were right to the point. He needs to hasten up in trashing the issue of ghost workers in Kogi State so that he can focus on making sure that, the hard working Kogites, get their meager payment in a timely fashion. Remember these civil servants have family like you and depends on that barely minimum wage to feed their family especially their children. Anyone who allows a child to go hungry on earth the wrath of God will descend upon such people on earth.
In my final analysis Ebira Kingdom should all search their heart to bring back what our forefathers have fought with their lives without greed back to every Ebira Kingdom our names Ebira implies such. The borrowed ropes that we have copied from others during the political maneuvering got to be wiping out from our system. We must go through the total cleansing of our souls so that we can become the Ebiras that our forefathers have fought diligently to preserve for us.
We must all put our hands together in support of Governor Bello to be successful in his leadership. His success is our collective gain. His success will set Kogi State at the center stage of economic prosperity.
