Dear Honorable Aspirant,
 Greetings!. I really do not really think it’s necessary to introduce myself to you, owing to the fact that I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that you know me too well despite the fact that we haven’t seen each other vis-a-vis outside social media. I think I can now categorize you as my friend since you are fast turning a public figure whose public dealings is kowtow to public scrutiny, consequent upon your relentless quest to represent both the good and bad people of Ibaji, Igalamela/Odolu, Ofu and Idah federal constituency at the lower chamber of the national assembly.
However, this open letter is not targeted at ridiculing nor promoting, but necessitated by issues of urgent importance not really unconnected to kogi APC internal crisis within the state APC fold that led to the parallel conduct of the state Congresses been Saturday, May 19th, 2018 in a Primary School located at Felele, Lokoja by Audu/Falake/Dino factions and that of the state government at the Confluence Stadium respectively. An action that will lead to the birth of confusions like ; ” where do we really belong, and who should we please? “, if not timely resolved.
For you to overcome such impending political confusion, you must not heep your hope in one party basket, as your good developmental blueprint could even attract political parties to wooing you to fly their ticket since, almost all political parties are now looking for popular and acceptable candidate, especially the demand of the majority, since the power now lies with the people. The Nigeria  politics is truly becoming about strategy, calibrating and recalibrating the architecture of your strategies until the desired political ambition and mission is ultimately accomplished.
It is good, you also come in term  with the fact that political party is just a platform for contesting and winning election. Hence the present resolved criteria by electorates for electing anyone come 2019 may rather be based on the measurements and evaluation of the candidate or aspirant’s weights in key area like competence, antecedent and credibility than the usual deceitful politics of godfatherism, partisanship, religion, ethnicity etc which was  used by incompetent and unpopular aspirants/candidates and their godfathers to manipulate their way-in, in time past, against the wishes and at the detriment of the major electorates.  This development has without doubt contributed greater measurement to the leadership failures, a critical anti-democratic canker that has birth decay infrastructure, poor representation, as been witness at all levels of governance today and I am optimistic that this daylight electoral robbery will vanish certainly in a jiffy.
The 21st century electorates don’t toy with their destiny anymore, things have really changed and the electoral system of Nigeria with kogi inclusive, is no longer the same as it was. Do not be deceived into jettison this advice peradventure via the notion that  “this advice may not be relevant because I may not belong to the galaxy of who decide who gets what, when and how in the Local Government, You may also think that I don’t control votes or I am politically insignificant. As a politician I am sure you are aware even the madman on the street is very relevant when it comes to election.
2019 election may be a different ball game because the people seems to be more getting wiser, smarter and our orientation is getting more developed. Influence of godsfatherism, Intimidation, oppression, political killings and Money can no longer fix anybody in any political leadership position again neither can any cabal do it. The power belong to the people and that time, it is only what you have done and manifesto that will speak for you.
Should incase you may feel offended by publicly reaching you, but as a humble person I  have perceived you to be,  I hope you will not, however, if you decide to be angry I really have no regret for writing this neither do I owe anybody any apology. As far as my God and my conscience are at peace with me I am fulfilled.
Hon Idrisima, let me use this graceful opportunity to appreciate you for re-electrifying Ajaka Ward 2 community, and two other communities after experiencing decades of blackout due to moribund state of electrical facilities, which you help replaced with functional ones.
