Can we please observe a moment of silence for what has befallen Kogi
state consequent upon the PDP and APC primaries.
state consequent upon the PDP and APC primaries.
I was taken aback with the emergence of the two major contestants namely Prince Abubakar
Audu of the APC, and the incumbent governor, Idris Wada of the PDP,
their representation makes a mockery of the word CHOICE. The word
loses it’s meaning entirely in the context of Kogi politics.

It is disturbing that a man arraigned on a 36-count charge bordering
on criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of public funds to
the tune of over eleven billion naira of tax payers money clinched the
ticket of a party whose cardinal objective is to fight corruption?

On the other hand incumbent Governor Idris Wada’s incompetence as an
administrator is of course not debatable and the party he represents
did not seem to care to find a worthy replacement. In all of this the
people are yet in the middle of this shameful fiasco. This is a
perfect scenario of what is popularly referred to as one chance and
kogites are to choose between two different parts of hell, equally
ferocious in consuming the people.: alas the battle to Lugard house is
sheared not only in dilemma but an undiscerning anomalous.

The fact that the delegates have chosen money and mediocrity above
everything else is mind boggling.

And there is a serious need for us to redefine progress for it seems
like there’s a lacuna in the search of bright minds, it is more like
there is a deliberate death of intellectualism, and dissolution of
ideas, are we to conclude that there are no bright minds from Kogi?

Absolutely not!
Whoever emerges governor amongst both men, the next four years would
not a biblical tale, and no miracles should be expected we all have
seen Wada’s gross inapt ability to administer and his challenger’s
presumptuous and corrupt antecedence.

Our collective inability to see beyond the ethnic lines that divide us
is not only
pitiable but also obtuse and generations yet unborn shall marvel at
this conjunctive stupidity.

In the end, every politics is local; as we sit at the comfort of our
cushions in Kaduna, Lagos, Brussels and Abuja and continue to let this
evil prevail, one thing
is but certain if we don’t fix our mess, nobody would do it for us.
