Good morning the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District, ladies and gentlemen of the press.
First, we wish to place on record that this Vanguard known as “Sen. Smart Adeyemi Youths Vanguard” is a movement which was mainly established to promote democracy and bring the dividends of democracy close to the people of Kogi-West Senatorial District. It is a movement that works in partnership with over 20 (twenty) different political associations, which are spread across all the 7 (seven) local Government Areas, that make up Kogi-West Senatorial District.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, recent developments in the country, particularly as it affect Kogi-West Senatorial District in the red chambers of the National Assembly, have made it mandatory upon we the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District to have a rethink over our current representative who, sadly, has deviated and derailed from the very essence of Senatorial representation to a more of dramatic show and demonstration of hooliganism at the legislative floor of the red chambers of the National Assembly.
The essence of the constitutionally guaranteed right of the good people of Kogi-West to be represented under Section…..of the 1999 constitution is to have their interests promoted and protected through their elected representative. Sadly and unfortunately, unlike other Senatorial Districts across the country, this constitutionally guaranteed rights of the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District apparently seems to have been mutilated by the poor and fruitless representation being dispensed by the current serving Senator representing Kogi-West Senatorial District.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, this is an occasion to declare the resolve of the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District under the banner of “Sen. Smart Adeyemi Youths Vanguard” to strive and remedy the mistake of the past and to continue to strive in that regard until victory is won and the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the people of Kogi-West to good representation is redeemed to their benefits and progress.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, there is no doubt that the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District have gotten less than they deserve as their legal entitlements from their current Senatorial representative. History they say is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of the day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, where they must be.
To this end, we the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District under the banner of Sen. Smart Adeyemi Youths Vanguard in partnership with over 20 (twenty) progressive Associations spread across the 7 (Seven) local government Areas of Kogi-West Senatorial District, hereby collectively and unanimously resolve that SEN. SMART ADEYEMI is the answer to redeeming the rights and legal entitlements of the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District. Accordingly therefore, we collectively call upon SEN. SMART ADEYEMI to answer the clarion call of the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District to provide us with the much needed good representation in the red chambers of the National Assembly so as to bring us the dividends of democracy.
We further wish to state that the above decision of the good people of Kogi-West Senatorial District is not anchored in a vacuum but on printed good records and achievements as well as capability, integrity, qualifications and wealth of experience of SEN.
