On the political development in Kogi State, Mona Audu called on all political actors to join hands with the governor towards making the state better. He said there was no point engaging in the political fight, as that would only take the state backward.
He urged the governor to be on a reconciliatory mission and mend the broken paths that have risen from electoral process, adding that he should be more people oriented and carry all aggrieved persons along especially in political decisions and appointments.
In his words: “let us all support Yahaya Bello, we have used four years to fight, nothing came out of it, let us use these four years to change the narratives. This is a collective responsibility.
“It is God that givers power, he gives to whoever wills, let us unit to make Kogi better than what it is today. As arrived as we are now, we must let go and forge ahead”.
Hon Zacharias who commended the visit of the Ogbonicha Prince assured him that he would continually fly the flag of the political ideologies of the late Prince Abubakar Audu whom he said provided him the template of political leadership.

Zacharias told his guest that he has set out the areas he want to concentrate on in empowering the constituents in their order of priority, adding that agriculture tops the list of interventions he attract to the people.
He said within the period in review that he assumed office, he has been able to facilitate employment to a number of people in government agencies where vacancies exist and has commended his constituency empowerment programme targeting youths and women which he said will be done in batches as founds and releases are done by agencies responsible for constituency projects.
