“I feel sorry when I see the poverty level of our people and this has been given me a lot of headache. There is no food, no potable water, we don’t have good roads, even our education is nothing to write home about. We are now living in abject poverty. We can only overcome all these problems by electing a credible person to the helms of affairs of the local government”, he said.

If my people give me their mandate in the  forth coming local government election, part of those things that will be my focus is the development of infrastructural facilities.
“The local government is agrarian, but what are we doing with our agriculture? You know, food is a major weapon to fight poverty. Our agriculture is nothing to write home about. I will make sure that the local government become the food basket of Kogi State.”
He promised to use the necessary incentives to improve farming in the council by assisting the farmers and attracting macro and micro credit facilities that would promote farming business.
“I am in haste to see rapid transformation in this local government, I will use my connection to attract attention and bring people that matters to this council to contribute to its development and within three months of my administration, I will enhance tremendous changes”, he said.
