By Musa Bakare and Juwon Adibabi
There was wild Jubilation yesterday in Okpo, Olamaboro LGA as Admiral Usman Jibrin and entourage stormed Olamaboro local government area of Kogi State ahead of the party guber primary election.
Despite arriving late in the dark, the crowd who trooped out in large numbers to welcome the former Naval boss were chanting "Bello Must Go", this is unexpected because the Chief of Staff to the current Governor Bello, Edward Onoja is from the Local government.
Admiral Usman who was visibly happy with the warm reception from the people lamented profusely the unacceptable and unprecedented high level of unemployment among the youths of Kogi state, stating it has been the major reason for their susceptibility and available material for all forms of vices by politicians in Kogi State
Speaking at the Palace of Ejeh of Olamaboro HRH Simeon sani Ujah at Okpo, headquarters of Olamaboro LGA of kogi state, Admiral Usman pointed out that Kogi state is in a most difficult time, very overwhelming situation especially in the last three years.
The state is on a very dark lane as a result of failed leadership, affecting mostly our youths very negatively
The state is in siege and held hostage, poverty is at an unbearable level stating that he is fully ready to send Yahaya Bello out of Lugard house to rescue the situation.
Kogi people must urgently be offered credible leadership that will unite every tribe and differences in Kogi state
Reasonable Governments all over the world ensures that the youths are provided with opportunity for future aspirations and not handed guns to kill and murder innocent and unprotected people.
He promised to provide opportunity for very gainful employment for youth not guns
He pointed out that he is in the race on a rescue mission. He told the royal father that for one year and six months as Chief of Naval staff of Nigeria, without access to Kogi people money, he worked his best for kogi state.
Admiral Jibrin told the royal father that Edward Onoja as a son of Olamaboro should as a matter of urgency commence making his impacts felt in this Local Government to better the lives of his people before they hand over the reign of leadership to him
He advised Edward Onoja to commit his principal, Governor Yahaya Bello into embarking on important projects and programs in Olamaboro local government that will commit him to inherit and complete when he assume office.
In his response the Royal father pointed out that Admiral Usman Jibrin is in number one position in the first eleven of Igala nation
He said as royal fathers they are not politician but they must at all times deliberate and take a positive position on sensitive issues affecting the lives of their subjects
It must be an unpardonable mistake for anyone to attempt an attack on a Navy general and advised all to embrace peace as we prepare for election.
The royal father hinted that If he is a position to give governorship position, he will unequivocally dip his hand in pocket and hand it over to Usman Jibrin.
After paying homage to the monarch at the palace, Admiral Jibrin met with Olamaboro Local Government APC Executives at the party secretariat where he urge the party delegates not to be afraid of voting out bad leadership in the State. He said the party excos may be those that will decide for all APC members across the state in the coming days and beseech them all to join the rescue team in repositioning Kogi State to an enviable height among other states in the country.
In a brief remark, the spokesman of the party excos appreciated the efforts of Usman Jibrin in making visible impact and Indelible mark in Igala Kingdom as Naval Chief.
" We can see the Naval institutions and establishments you have brought to our land even without being in power, we believe you will do more when giving the opportunity, we shall put our house together and give you our maximum support" he said.
