The Chief of Staff to the Kogi State Government, Double Chief Edward Onoja deserve our appreciation as a people for attracting this road construction project to Olamaboro.

With immense gratitude, I register my gratitude and sincere appreciation to Governor Yahaya Bello for the construction of Ibana – Okpo – Ogugu Road and also I will like to show  my profound gratitude to the son of the soil in the person of Double Chief Edward Onoja for attracting such important and historic project to Olamaboro. 

Okpo people over the years have suffered in terms of lack of good roads, electricity, water and many have passed on with the question: “When will Okpo – Ogugu road ever be reconstructed?”

Olamaboro is home of the current senator representing Kogi East but what we can boast of him doing in Okpo is the building of 4 room toilet in GSS Okpo. The people of Okpo were perplexed but not in despair until this moment when God decided to answer our prayers.

It a show of sselfishness if our activism is always on criticism without not thanking the Government on the areas they are doing well as much as we critic them in areas they are failing  so that they can be encouraged to do more.

Government comes in and out of power but the development you are able to get from any government in your community is what you will be left with when they are out of power because they can’t take along with them those projects when living power.

I might not be a fan of this government due to the way they are failing in the areas of payment of salaries, pensions  and executing projects of societal importance etc but I can’t deny the fact that they worth my appreciation/accolades  as per the construction of this road because other government have come and gone and this road remain the way it was. Am not denying  the fact that the previous governments do construct roads but none was in my community.

Just as happy as I am for the construction of this road,  I would want to use this opportunity to appeal to my governor and his twin brother, who is also my brother from Olamaboro in the person of the Chief of Staff to please endeavour to complete this road project down to Etteh community and also tackle other problems facing Okpo, most especially drinkable water. The issue of no electricity and no bank, the pathetic situation of public schools for instance, the decayed/dilapidated GSS Okpo. 

Without me being selfish, let me also appeal to my Excellency to please endeavor to spread this dividends of democracy to all previously neglected quarters and to other areas in Kogi State as a whole in the spirit of maximum spatial justice so that all parts of Kogi State will have something to thank him for as that will be to his own advantage and the glory is his alone.

Today, anybody that plies Ibana road down to Ogugu will have something good to say about Double Chief Edward Onoja. That is to his advantage and not mine as the glory will always be to the government in power.
