Something is about to happen in Yagba West right now; there is a wind of Transformation. A wind of renewal coming from every corner in Yagba West, which will breathe new life into our politics. In this election, the whole Yagba West and the whole Kogi have said loud and clear that too many families can’t make ends meet, too many aged ones are living in poverty, that they have had enough of the same old debates. They deserve better, that is why we should dare to bring about this transformation.
Transformation that is now necessary because Yagba West is running in circles. Because for too long, we have replaced scandals with different scandals, scandals that the people of Yagba West and Kogi in general could not tolerate anymore. Because some want to benefit from divisive politics. Because issues that matter to most Yagba West/Kogi state are yet to be settled.
You have voted for a green economy, but still, your money is used to subsidize big polluters. You have rejected scandals that tarnished politics, but again we see the same stor; different leaders, same old scandals. For all these reasons, you believe it is now time for change.
Yagba West is ready for this Transformation and Kogites are ready for this Transformation.
My friends, I am ready to bring this Transformation to Yagba West, so that Yagba West will have a strong voice in the cabinet . In every corner of our local government my team is ready for this challenge.
Old debates and negative politics that we have seen since the beginning of this consultations for 2019 are exactly what I will stay away from. This is the time for a positive change.
My friends, I cannot promise to be less of a good man, you know where I stand and you know I will fight for the priorities you hold dear.
I am committed to do things differently in Yagba West and I am committed to get results in the first 100 days as your Representative at the State House of Assembly . Not in four years. Now. Because people need help now. That’s my commitment to you. My friends, I am ready to be your Representative and I fully understand what this means.
A Representative in the House’s job is to make sure the government works for those who have elected him, and not for big corporations and also to bring people together. Build bridges between urban and rural areas and bring closer the different point of views which exist in this country. A State House member must ensure House of Assembly represents the values you cherish.
Values like: Tolerance, compassion, pride in our differences, respect for democracy, cooperation. Those values are shared by all Kogites, My friends, we will work together to bring those values back to the House and our State as a whole. No matter which party you supported in the past, we can put the old debates aside and work together to achieve real Transformation. We can prove that the cynics are wrong, that is possible, Others will tell you that you have no choice but to vote for them. But that is, once again, old politics. You deserve better. You deserve change. And for that, we need to do more than blocking the same old politicians who will go after their own pocket and folks.
We need to replace them And it is not the first time for Yagba West people and Kogites as a whole to bring about major changes in our society. This isn’t the first time you’ve seen this. It means something is broken and we need to fix it.
It starts with a vote – your vote. And so, I’m calling on you to mark your ballot for change. Together, we can do this.
The time has come for someone to take on those responsibilities. We are ready to take on this challenge! It can’t be done without you. Let’s work together. Let’s roll up our sleeves and start the work right now. Thank you!
– Akure Toyosi
Aspirant, Kogi State House of Assembly (Yagba West)
