Adayi Osondo Yakubu has endorsed the aspiration of Ishaq Asuku Iliyas to represent Adavi constituency in Kogi State House of Assembly.
In an unprecedented political sagacity and an act of adherence to the principle of democracy, Osondo gave the endorsement when Iliyas and his team paid him a visit yesterday.
Adayi Osondo, while commending the team for the respect accorded him, told the delegation that he is a man that sticks to his words and his words are his bond.
“I am open to all aspirants whenever they are consulting, but one thing I repeatedly told previous aspirants is that the people elect you at first and if you serve the people well your records and your achievements will elect you again. I make bold to say that Ishaq Asuku Iliyas is known to me and he is a promising young man who has paid his dues by touching the lives of Adavians in his own way.
“As a man of my words, Ishaq Asuku Iliyas has my unalloyed support and endorsement, although it is God Almighty who gives power.
“Adavi-Eba has been shortchanged in the scheme of things politically in the time past and it is long overdue for the people of Adavi-Eba to be truly represented and Ishaq is the right choice,” he said.
He appealed to Adavians to support the aspiration of the young and promising man.
A youth leader, Onogbo, in his speech, thanked Osondo for his hospitality and open door policy. He told him that Adavians are not unaware of his doggedness and sagacity across Kogi Central, praising him for his frankness and sincerity that stands him out as a politician with a difference.
Onobo stated further that with the youth delegation that have joined Ishaq Iliyas to meet with him, it is a clear indication that the youths are solidly behind him because he is trustworthy and a worthy servant that can represent Adavians.
Hamid Audu, a member of the delegation that accompanied Ishaq Asuku, recalled that he has known Osondo for over 25years and he has always been a sincere and diligent man in all his endeavors. He pleaded with the party leader to throw his weight behind Ishaq Iliyas, promising that he will not fail the people of Adavi constituency.
Also speaking at the event, Mujahid Aliyu Abubakar Adeiza praised the party leader for been a successful and upright politician. He noted that Adayi Osondo is an icon to be reckoned with and Ishaq Asuku Iliyas is gradually following his footsteps.
Apasi Osahi, the youth president for Apasi clan, said Ishaq Asuku Iliyas has been examined by all and sundry and they know his antecedents even as a young man and they are convinced that he has the qualities needed to serve the people. He stated that based on the political arrangements in Adavi LGA, it is the turn of the Upopuvete clan and they have made Ishaq their chosen candidate.
The aspirant, Ishaq Asuku Iliyas thanked Adayi Osondo Yakubu for receiving him and his team within short notice.
He said Osondo’s endorsement is vital to his aspiration to represent the good people of Adavi constituency at the state house of assembly.
Iliyas assured the leader that he is ready to serve Adavians in and to speak their minds at all times in the state legislative arm by contributing positively to lawmaking and touching the lives of Adavians positively in every sector.
