Okun Political Summit: Renegotiating Okun interest for 2019

Okun Political Summit 2019 is put together to create a platform, avenue and opportunity for the people of Okunland in the six Local Government areas of Kogi to review their political history, access their present political attainment/challenges and discuss a way forward to realizing their aims and desires as a people.

The event of the last six decades requires that the people of Okunland need an urgent political confab that will elicit opportunities for robust introspect, genuine soul, searching, sincere fence mending and a workable united front for the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Kogi state.

It is not news, neither is it misplaced to say that the commonest and topmost on the agenda of our people is the quest for a Kogi Governor of Okun extraction, this is more resounding in the minds of the people in view of their search for infrastructural, social, economic and political development, the intensity of their quest is driven by the fact that holding such a plum position will confer far-reaching opportunities and pace for achieving all of the desires.

It is therefore important that a collective approach is applied to making the dream a reality. The unfortunate snag, however, has been the individualistic approach that has been applied in the past, the reality of the day, however, suggests a more united and communal approach to this.

The November 2019 gubernatorial election has indeed presented itself as a golden opportunity to experiment this much touted desire. It is in the reality of this that we call for the 1st Okun political summit. A gathering of former and serving elected political office holders from Okunland, former and serving appointed political office holders from Okunland, former and serving party elected officials from Okunland, all former elected candidates of political parties for political office contest, traditional rulers from Okunland, religious leaders from Okunland, women and youth leaders.

To promote the development of Okunland through virile political leadership
To work assiduously for the political, social and economic emancipation of Okun people

Date: 19th October 2019
