Your Excellency,
I write with profound respect for your office, your historic democratic struggle, and your pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s political destiny.
Your journey has never been about power alone, but about structure, reform, and enduring nation building. It is precisely because of this legacy that this appeal is made with urgency, clarity, and deep sincerity.
Kogi State stands at a defining crossroads. The people are hopeful yet restless, patient yet expectant. What they seek now is not experimentation or uncertainty, but tested leadership, steady hands capable of restoring confidence, stabilizing governance, and uniting our diverse communities toward common progress.
History teaches that when a people cry out for direction, destiny answers through prepared leaders. Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke is such a leader. His record speaks clearly: legislative acumen, administrative depth, unwavering party loyalty, and a unique capacity to build bridges, heal divisions, and drive meaningful development. These are not mere credentials; they are the essential tools for renewal.
Mr. President, your political strength has always been your discerning eye for leadership and your courage to stand with capable hands at decisive moments.
Across Nigeria, many who lead today do so because you recognized their potential before others did. That same statesman’s insight is what the people of Kogi now earnestly call upon.
Our appeal is sincere and unequivocal: we urge you to extend your moral blessing and fatherly endorsement to Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke to answer the call of his people to contest the 2027 governorship election.
Such an endorsement would be more than support for a candidate; it would ignite hope, signal stability, and reassure citizens that their future is valued at the highest level of national leadership.
This is not mere sentiment, it is conviction. Where competence meets opportunity, societies thrive. Where tested leadership meets popular aspiration, progress accelerates. And when a National l
Leader listens to the heartbeat of the people, history takes note.
The people of Kogi State, across the East, Central, and West Senatorial Districts, in every nook and cranny, remain united in prayer for your continued success till 2031.
They await, with earnest expectation, the emergence of Rt. Hon. Faleke as their governor in 2028.
Your Excellency, history measures leaders not only by the offices they hold, but by the futures they help unlock. Nigerians already testify that your reforms are unlocking the nation’s great potential. Supporting credible, capable leadership for Kogi at this crucial hour would stand as a powerful testament to your characteristic commitment to justice, loyalty, and democratic fairness.
May wisdom continue to guide your decisions, and may your tenure continue to remain a beacon of courage, unity, and national renewal.
With the highest esteem and patriotic urgency.
