Our warm greetings and good day to Mr President.
As we approach the 2019 general elections, the student body under the umbrella of National Association of Okun Students (NAOS) wish to score your administration and raise our dissatisfaction since you assumed the highest office in Nigeria.
Okun is a tribe in Kogi State and specifically the Yoruba speaking section of the state. The Okuns occupies Kogi West Senatorial District.
Before the inception of your administration, our hopes were high, we believed you will come and turn things around, we had the believe in the ‘change’ you promised. We voted massively and ensured your emergence in every other parts of Kogi land. We gave the largest bulk of votes to ensure your victory in Kogi State.
Mr. President, looking critically at your stewardship in the last 36 months of your administration nothing has been encouraging and the good people of Kogi West are yet to enjoy the dividends of democracy.
Your administration till now has nothing to show in Kogi West as a show of appreciation with any federal project. The people now begin to wonder if this is the kind of ‘change’ they yearned and clamoured for.
Sir, it is highly embarrassing that we the youths that championed your struggle then now have to hide our faces in shame because your administration has not made us confident to defend what we clamoured for. The decayed infrastructures in Kogi State remained in a state of comatose, the Federal Roads are getting worse especially the Kabba-Ilorin road, nothing meaningful to show for the infrastructures.
Let me also call your attention to Okene/ Lokoja/ Abuja road. This is the only road that links the Southern part of Nigeria to the North. The road has served as death trap to road users as fatal accidents are being recorded daily on that route.
You are also not unaware of the recent killings and maiming of our people by the Fulani herdsmen in our land. It is sad to note that nothing has been done to stop this evil reoccurrence. Its like you felt so unconcerned about the killings and seems comfortable as those that voted you in are beginning to loose confidence in your leadership.
Mr President, the upgrading of A.B.U College Of Agriculture Kabba to a full University sponsored by Senator Dino Melaye still waiting for your assent by the good people of Okunland and this will go a long way in our heart.
Board Chairmanship and many Director Of Agencies offices are still vacant and we hope you consider us with those appointments that belongs to us in due time.
It’s not too late to do something to curb the menace of this Fulani herdsmen. Its not late to fix these infrastructures in this remaining days to 2019 elections.
Mr. President, its your choice to redeem your image and give yourself a new name. We in Kogi West have decided to judge your administration through our votes at the polls. And if we are to judge right now, the voters’ card will be against you.
Do something about these issues raised or don’t expect bulk of votes as you got in 2015, in fact we advice you don’t contest at all.
Our strength lies in our votes. Do something to effect a positive ‘change’ before its too late.
Yours in the Struggle,
Comrade Ajagun Opeyemi Samuel (Okun Boy)
NAOS NATIONAL PRESIDENT.
