A socio-political group, Kogi West Interest Group, has passed a vote of confidence on Senator Smart Adeyemi for defending the masses and standing up for equity, fairness and justice in the state.
Convener of the group, Comrade Isiaka Sulieman, made this known during a press conference in Lokoja on Wednesday.
The group said the “current calculated and satanic attempt to malign the person of Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON) and put him in the bad light must be seen as an attack of evil against good and most be resisted by well meaning Kogites that stand for truth, equity and justice.”
They insisted that the position of Senator Adeyemi on November governorship election is in tandem with the aspiration of everyone in Kogi West senatorial district.
“Senator Adeyemi’s position is devoid of personal interest and self – gratification, rather it is structured upon his usual desire and support for justice, equity and fairness among the three senatorial districts of Kogi State.
“Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi have never shown desperation in course of his political progression like other politicians who will have rushed to pick – up ticket in another political party considering his political strength, followership and acceptance across the three senatorial districts but he choose to stand on the path of truth and justice.
“History will not forget his sacrifice and he stands in the course of libration of Kogi Western Senatorial district.
“In line with this background and
Kogi West as a senatorial district that has supported and assisted the two other senatorial district to produce a Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, Captain Ichala Wada, all of Kogi Eastern senatorial district and Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello of Kogi Central, it is not out of place for Kogi Western senatorial district to ask for her turn in the spirit of fairness and oneness,” Suleiman said.
The group unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Senator Smart Adeyemi and called on all political leaders in Kogi West senatorial district, opinion molders and the general people to come together to actualize the great dream.
“In the end we shall be able to identify the friends and foes of Kogi West senatorial district,” he added.
