Kogi State experienced the strangest thing that ever happened in the Nigeria political landscape. It becomes the talk of the scholars and inquisition of the wise. The highest novelty to the political gladiators in the political quest. By this singular happening, the darkest form of political conspiracy of all times was brought to the fore and to the consternation of the sane.
The end result of the heinousness of the political rascality and gangsterism in Kogi State are best explained by the sordid state the State finds itself. The political gangsters succeeded in violently raping the State and left it gasping for life.
Before now, thugery and all kinds of political vices are the fastest means of making a “good” living. This is the more reason, the present administration is facing the crudest attacks of all time.
Kogi State has never experienced relieve than now. Once upon a time, disappointment, regrets and betrayal were the order of the day. The gospel truth is, a glitter of hope is permeating the body polity of Kogi State under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello.
But, curiously, some people have suddenly found their calling in the ministry of critics. It is alright to be a critic and to criticize when things are going amiss but most people parading themselves as critics so far, are nothing but political rabble-rousers who are only coherent in spewing out hate speech and raw stupidity. The saddest thing of all is to see a youth squandering his youthfulness in ugly enterprise of political gangsterism. One wonder, if some of them are victims of dysfunctional upbringing. To see a youth attacking the sensitivity of the people he polarized in the fault line of tribe, political affiliation and region is to encounter a young fellow dealing with early personal crisis. A case of unfortunate “visitation from the gods”.
The nay sayers have tried by all means to turn Kogi State to a “theater of absurdity” and hotbed of political rigmarole. But, let it be of interest to all that, politics in Kogi State is receiving a healthy fresh blood. The nascent political dimension in Kogi State is a plus to the Nation and the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello is birthing the best form of political engagement and resuscitating the economy. At the end of the day, the devil’s advocates shall be silenced and the chosen of God shall fulfill his divine mission.
