2019: Can Elder Leke Abejide Succeed Karimi?

The political cloud is gathering and getting thicker everyday ahead of the general elections in 2019. And from every discernible indication, a heavy political downpour is in the offing.

And an interesting aspect of it all is that it is not just the familiar political names that are eyeing the Yagba Federal Constituency Seat in 2019, there a few unusual characters that are adding up to the mix. I will leave that for another day when we shall exhume the real characters behind this names. 

That said, as it were, the coming elections would arrive with unusual attention-gripping dramas and intrigues. Along with this, it is hoped that there will also be greater ideas and commitments to addressing the problems that are bedeviling the Yagba people by the office seekers.

Elder Leke Abejide, the topmost seeker of the office over the years have intensify effort in addressing the problems bedeviling the Yagba people and thus best to succeed the incumbent among all other seekers of the legislative office. 

My interest is the Yagba election in Kogi State, North-Central, Nigeria, and a Candidate of African Democratic Congress(ADC), Elder Leke Abejide, whose name has been featuring in virtually all the political analyses as regards the Yagba race in 2019 and who has so much invested in the development of his people even when he has not occupied any elective position before.

Note that by 2019 the current member representing Yagba at the green chamber Honorable Sunday Karimi, would have completed his two terms in office. At that conjuncture the seat is open to anyone to fight for without the direct threat or intimidation from an incumbent which has always been a major obstacle to the aspirations of many contestants.

It is therefore on the basis of Leke Abejide selflessness to Yagba land, I submit that Leke Abejide is not yards away from attaining his ambition as rightfully thought by the old and young who are still living and self-evident to Leke Abejide unprecedented performance in community and human development projects across the three Local government of Yagba land.

Fascinatingly, Leke Abejide himself is not unaware of what lies ahead hence he has commenced his canvassing and consultations early enough. And commendably, he has been doing well and has find his ways to the heart of the people and they are all ready to vote him come 2019.
