My decision to join the race for the number one seat in Dekina Local Government Area, (The largest in Nigeria) is borne out of my quest over the years to contribute my quota to the development of my fatherland.
Today, i receive calls from patriotic Dekinites who sees beyond the current political trend, of money, praise singing, thuggery & sectionalism. To those, i remain eternally grateful.
I also have received several calls from those who are bothered about my security going into the political space that is not rancour free. To those, my response is simple: Am not at war with anybody. Mine is a political movement that sees beyond today!
There is also this group of people who believe it can't be me. And i ask, is anyone more Dekinite than a true son of Odu Ogboyaga in Dekina Local government area of Kogi State?
To some others, its only moneybags that should talk about occupying political office.
To those my response is simple: Idea/goodwill/personality/popular appeal does it not money!
We come prepared with huge idea that can answer the many questions starring us in the face.
We are not dettered by the wind of popular demand but have decided to stick with our positive ideals and conviction enveloped in our believe for a more prosperous and safe Dekina were the people will determine who leads them, and not a Dekina for the highest bidder.
We are coming with sanity and we must make that our guiding principle.
Just like President Goodluck Jonathan will say : " Our ambition is not worth the blood of anyone".
To this end, we plead with our political leaders/party stakeholders to avail all the aspirants the opportunity to showcase what they have to offer. In doing this, money should be the least of the factor, as ideas not money rules the world.
Some have called to ask when am coming for official declaration and all that, please continue
doing your bit, as i will soon be before you to declare officially and unveil my products to you and our dear people of Dekina.
The issues that bothers us in Dekina is a collective one that is obvious for every lover of our land to see. It is in view of this that, we decided to imbibe collective approach to our aspiration. The people will own the government, as we intend to lead from within by the special grace of God.
Like i always say, Silver and gold i have not, but i have God, you (my people) and my BIG BOLD IDEAS that works.
To this end, i so submit that am still very much in the race for the Chairmanship of Dekina local government come this year 2020.
Let our trust/hope/aspiratio be centered on God, the people and our programmes.
We come prepared to change the narratives for good. Join us to get this done.
Together we can!
