Earlier today, I was in Lokoja, Kogi State for the Gubernatorial Campaign Flag-Off of our Party’s Candidate, Barr. Okeme Adejoh and his running mate, Alhaji Hamza Mohammed Baba. Our candidates are credible and verifiable. They have introduced themselves well, and as always, I urge people to verify our information for themselves. While In Kogi State, I once again observed a people downed with great resources and potential that if harnessed, will bring great development to our nation and improve the lives of the good people of Kogi State.
With a land mass of 29,833 km², bigger than the landmass of Israel at 22,145 km², more than twice the land mass of The Gambia at 11,300 km², and so on, Kogi should be a prosperous nation. Kogi State is very fertile for the growing of cassava, yams, rice, etc., so the people should not be hungry. The Ajaokuta Steel Mill in Kogi, despite gulping billions in funding, has failed to commence full operations due to corruption and leadership failure. The Steel Mill has remained the biggest image of a failed leadership in our country and its effect on industrial development in our community is apparent. The story is not different for the Obajana Cement Plant in the state. With good and committed leadership, which we will offer in New Nigeria, we will harness the great potential for agriculture that abounds in the State and hence, move the nation from consumption to production. Our nation, as seen in Kogi State, has all it takes to build the New Nigeria and we know it is POssible. -PO
