Politicians have been advised to see the transformation of the people in the rural areas, through provision of social amenities as the basis for their election into political offices.
Mr. Boniface Abimaje made this statement in Echuckwu, Bassa local government on behalf of the youths and elders, while he eulogised the decision of Kogi East senator, Atai Aidoko Ali to donate a motorised borehole to the community.
Mr Abimaje said the community and its neighbouring villages are still finding it difficult to believe that the perennial water problems prevalent over the decades, is over for now.
He thanked Kogi East senator for remembering the remotest area of Kogi state in the course of providing social intervention.
According to Abimaje, before now, the people survived through the stream water, wait for hours for the water to neutralise before usage for domestic and other activities.
“We either go to Oguma or Gboloko to get pipe borne water for consumption and usage, until Senator Aidoko Ali came to our rescue.
“Atimes, we stay for days to access water vendors from this same areas without any assurances of their coming”
He assured the senator of the determination of the people of the area to ensure massive support in the next February election for his re-election.
Abimaje requested the project tour team, to plead with the senator to cite other social services like hospitals and provision of electricity from Oguma junction to the area, as well as empowerment of the youths.
