Kogi state also grapples with backlog of salaries. With what we are witnessing today, it is evidently clear that the Governor and his cohorts have no economic programme for Kogites. The bad policies and non-listening nature caused the current hardship in the state.
It is worrisome that the prices of food have gone up astronomically to the extent many people are now going to bed with empty stomachs.
As we speak now, the economy is taking a catastrophic shape and Kogi is under tension and suffocating economic situation which requires people of patriotic minds , who believe in the survival of this state to come together to restore our glory.
I have scored APC led administration in Kogi state low. Youths, farmers, unpaid pensioners and workers were disappointed by APC’s administration . We also noted that APC’s government achieved nothing in two years in Kogi state.
The government has been a disappointment. Kogites are daily cursing the government. In my own view, the government of APC has not achieved anything in two years that it has been inaugurated. They have not done anything to justify that they want to run in 2019. APC’s government was worse than the ex-Governor Captain Idris Wada’s administration.
I must also confess that I am worried about certain things. I am disturbed by the knowledge that as there are many who are subjected to untold hardship, there are many more others who are at this very moment being subjected to the dangerous manipulations of religious extremists, of mercantile politicians and purposeless agitators.
There is this saying that the youth are leaders of tomorrow but in Kogi today, the tomorrow seems endless. After all we are leaders of today not tomorrow because we have waited long enough and this tomorrow remains an elusive business.
My generation has in many ways failed to do the right thing, we forgot that society is a continuum and the decisions we take each day affects not only those of us living, but generations that come after us.
For all these and more, I apologise from the bottom of my heart. I say of many things that they cannot be forgiven but it is from forgiveness that we can forget the sins of the past.
I urge the youth to maintain peace, be more creative, engage in positive criticisms to ensure the government succeeds.
Put your hands on deck, contribute your quota instead of engaging in terrorism and come up with a policy to drive the state forward .
I therefore call on our teeming supporters and stakeholders of Audu Faleke political family to tarry patiently, and rightly ignore the annoying noise from habitual betrayers, because in politics, noisemakers will always have their space, but the will of the people will certainly always have their way.
