What ever we believe we defend, what ever we defend is what we protect, what ever we protect is what we value….. If really Change is existing then it has to take It’s place in our beloved nation Kogi. (Bello Festus: 2015)
Arbitrariness as being accorded by political scholars and social scientists is a sophisticated acquisition to dictation, which logically most time result to the proliferation of distortion and retardation.
Kogi State is located in the North Central Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria, consisting of over twelve tribes. Among It’s tribes are the three major ones which spells out the vibrant poles of Kogi as a geographical entity. They include Igala in the East, Ebira in the Central and Kabba in the West.
Ever since the inauguration of Kogi in 1992, the state which in history is the state having the first capital of the federation of Nigeria can be classified as a stooge valley of tribal and ethnic bigotry, a mountain of political discrimination and a flood sea of pandemonium and corruption among others. She has undergo all manners and facet of rhetoric dysfunctional characteristics which had resulted to its retardation. One among all is the vicious tyrannical tribe policy in Kogi State which explains the arbitrary rule of the Igala Mal-administrators.
In remorse, its cardinal for the people of Kogi to be aware that if not in majority, half percent of the internal insurrection and external aggression in Kogi State can be trace down to the destitute governmental system of tribe arbitrariness which erroneously portrays that in history hitherto the position of Governor is believe to be an uncompromising position of the Igalas.
We resist to be a prey in the hands of some Goons of Political vampires who call themselves made to rule. I think one of the celebrated achievement of Nigeria at her 54 years of independence is her ability to produce a minority President.
If Federal Character is really well recognize has a modus of good governance in Nigeria as It’s been accorded to be, then It has to be of functional structural standard all over the federation of our dear country Nigeria.
Nigeria Government, who set up a federal character with utmost consciousness, knows the tremendous importance of it and such importance must prevail in Kogi state come 2016.
We Kogites rise for Change, an indispensable and imminent one. With great alacrity and agility we echoe – Tribe tyranny must stop in Kogi State, Igala arbitrary rule must come to an end come 2016.
