The Special Adviser to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo on Labour Matters, Comrade Onuh Edoka, has called on the people of the state to be united and give maximum support to the Government.
Comrade Edoka gave the charge following the Tribunal ruling which affirmed Governor Ododo’s election as the duely elected Governor of Kogi State.
He noted that the unity among the people of Kogi State cannot be compromised under any guise, hence everyone should play his part well to guarantee sustainable development.
The statement;
I am delighted to once again use this opportunity to appreciate the good and loving people of Kogi State, particularly at this period when it is almost financially difficult
for everyone.I also express my gratitude to the people for the support to the government, both the
past and present which indicates clearly their zeal to experience a more progressive Kogi State.
At this juncture, let me say that the unity among the people of Kogi State cannot be compromised under any guise, hence everyone should play his part well to guarantee sustainable development.
For the records, Kogi State existed before any other interest, be it political, religious, ethnic or otherwise, which is why the Kogi Project should be paramount in the minds of all irrespective of any likely difference.
I therefore use this medium to appeal to the people of Kogi State to put their differences aside and support the present administration in Kogi State which with all intent and purposes, is seen to be set and properly positioned to ensure sustainable peace, growth and development of the state.
This appeal is premised on the fact that there can be no progress in an atmosphere of rancour and disunity, the recent tribunal victory then, should be seen as victory for all in an ideal democracy where players are expected to exhibit spirit of sportsmanship.
The people should therefore, close rank, come together, offer useful suggestions as well as provide constructive criticisms to the government, after all, to further justify the Democratic system of government.
Workers on their part should have much more confidence in this administration, haven seen some of the good tidings for the working class as well as others in the labour cycle.
We believe the Government of Alhaji Usman Ododo will lead the people to the Promised Land. Above all, let’s pray for a more united, peaceful and prosperous
Kogi State that will be a pride to all.
Comrade Chief Onuh Edoka
Special Adviser, Labour Matters
