Senator representing Kogi East, Atai Aidoko Ali said what it takes to bid farewell to the current administration of tyranny, denials and coercion in Kogi State is through peaceful and collective efforts.
Senator Aidoko dropped this hint in Abuja during the maiden launch of ‘Save Kogi Project’ geared towards liberating the people of the state from the shackles of maladministration, corruption, witch hunting and lack of clear road map to continue the development trend initiated by the previous administrations.
He said the lofty ideas of the founding fathers of Kogi state like Senator Dr Ahmadu Ali, Senator Ahmed Tijani Ahmed and Chief Sunday Awoniyi have been eroded by politicians with inordinate ambitions, who never knew anything about politics at the helms of affairs in the state.
He promised to mobilise more people to the movement, if the purpose is to salvage the state from the doldrums of accidental politicians whose singular aim is to amass public funds and in disobedience to the statutory ideas of paying workers salaries, pensioners as well as provision of social infrastructures.
Senator Aidoko commended the dogged efforts of the conveners of the project, particularly Senator Dino Melaye and Friday Makama, inspite of glaring provocation and series of attempts on their lives. He said Kogi is worth dying for to remove these crop of pharaohs, promising to contribute his own quota to the movement.
Aidoko stated the need to initiate more of this pressure groups and make more sacrifices to bring to standstill, the inhuman, uncultured and occultic conducts of the present occupants of Lugard House so as to return the state to the path of glory.
“In doing this, we must drop our sectional, political, tribal and racial differences as the activities of the present crop of leaders has dragged the state to its knees,” he said.
He expressed regrets on the decision of the Kogi political class to impose the present governor on Kogi state, saying the odds are too numerous against this administration in Kogi.
“It is quite saddening that in the last two years, the state is always in the news for wrong and shameful activities that has made the state as a laughing stock in the comity of states. All these must stop”
