I have come here today, to the hearts of Kogites. I speak in admiration for your resilience and reserve. And I saluted you all for standing, in full strength, with Late Prince Abubakar Audu.
Ever since, we have worked with sincerity and honesty to build a progressive and modern Kogi. A Kogi which has got rid of centuries old burden of poverty, hunger and diseases. Where the light of education has driven away the darkness of ignorance and superstition.
Where there is social equality and all citizens enjoy economic opportunity. Where no section of the society faces injustice and exploitation.
We have dreamt of Kogi where the youths get employment opportunities that enable them to contribute to the noble endeavor of nation building.
We strive for Kogi’s voice to be heard loud and clear at the international level. We have strive to build a nation that is looked at with respect and honour by the whole world.
We have taken many measures to realise these dreams. But on the journey to this greatness of this noble state, we loss a resourceful man and a large distance still remains to be travelled.
We have to stand in full strength with prayers for fruitful outcome as we awaits God justice on Kogi State.
– Hon. Alfa Tijani
