Kogi Guber Poll: Wada/Aro, The Moses Of Our Time

Image
Regain Your Future By Voting Wada/Aro, The Moses Of Our Time Kogi Will Be Great Again With Wada Aro We all are sent to earth to accomplish a task which the Lord has specifically assigned us to carry out and after this assignment, we return back to our creator who has specially mandated us to do so. The Bible tells us of so many people, prophets, apostles who carried out their duties as the Lord has commanded. Using Moses as a case study,  his duty was to liberate and take the people of Israel away from the land of Egypt to the promise land. This was part of his Divine mandate which at that time no other person was found worthy to do exactly what the servant of God(Moses) did. At the end of this task, the results has always been divine. For God to pick up a particular person to be at the top of affairs of a particular jurisdiction, he finds that one person worthy of that position. God in his infinite mercy has sent the only hope for KOGI come NOVEMBER 16th *WADA/ARO* wh

TOM OHIKERE: A WASTE OF PEN, BUT FOR CLARIFICATION SAKE; "HOW ART THE MIGHTY FALLEN"~Kogi PDP New Media team.

Image
Kogi State is at a time in which a decision as to who becomes it's Next Governor will be taken. One figure that seem to have stolen the centre stage lately is the wrongest of messengers for the sent message, in person of former Commissioner for Information, a supposed-to-be Elderstatesman, Mr Tom Ohikere. My very belief is that the redundance of a voice is not enough to compromise it if dignity and integrity holds forth. Mr Tom Ohikere, a bonafide beneficiary of the PDP administration, a former voice of the voiceless has fallen into the lines of the school of propaganda and State-sponsored victimisation of a people needing of liberation and not lies. Well, if a lion will finally consider the economy around him and begin to eat grass, he will automatically be regarded as to be in the class of goats and sheeps. And that is how Mr Tom Ohikere fell. But the faithfuls on the other side of the struggle will carry on anyway, as the lighter the weight the better the journey.

Entertainment Gist: What Mountain Black Of ‘danfo Drivers’ Music Reveal About The Death Of Mad Melon

Mountain Black, one-half of the music group, Danfo Drivers, has said that the music industry neglected his recently deceased colleague, Mad Melon, before his death. Shortly after news of the artiste’s demise hit the Internet, many artistes posted his picture on social media, mourning his death. In a chat with Saturday Beats, Mountain Black said, “Yes, he was neglected (by the music industry). We became popular in 2003, and we had been managing ourselves since then. I believe that with God, all things are possible. We believed in ourselves, and that is why we were still relevant in the industry till now. The industry is very wide; you can fix yourself anywhere and make your money. We were, also, both involved in transportation business.” On the nature of Mad Melon’s illness, Black said, “I am not a doctor. I was actually not around. It was when I got back, I was told that he was not feeling well. One of his relatives called me and said I should come immediately because my br

KOGI GUBER: TOM OHIKERE ENJOYED AND SURVIVE ON FALSEHOOD

Image
When my brother drew my attention to the article with"PDP and the corrupt memories ", the first thing that came to my mind was wao this look like a Tom ohikere kind of malignment. And guess what, I was right, the malevolent indeed emanated from Tom ohikere. As a person, since I realised that Tom may be having some psychological problems due to the influence of too much intake of some substances, I decided not take him seriously and respond to his post or comment on any platform again. But, after reading through this his evil motives article which I think may affect negatively the emotions of some gullible ones, I have decided to write this rejoinder. After a thorough research about Tom ohikere I have come to realize that he enjoyed and survive on falsehood. During the time of Former governor , he was regarded as the attack dog of that administration; he abused people at will; his name calling and open denigration of Alhaji Audu Abubakar and anyone not on the same p

Kogi Governorship Poll: Governor Yahaya Bello Accused Of Bribing Opposition Candidates With Millions Of Naira

Investigation further revealed that the governor was working with the Chairman of the Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Chief Peter Ameh, who was assigned to share the money for candidates who were disqualified on the basis of age limit. As the race for Kogi State governorship election heats up, SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained an audio conversation of how Governor Yahaya Bello of the ruling All Progressives Congress offered and gave N5 million each to gubernatorial candidates and running mates of opposition political parties in the state. Bello, it was gathered, gave the money to the candidates in a bid to get them to withdraw from the contest and endorse him.

KOGI GUBER POLL: ARREST APC KOGI EAST VICE CHAIRMAN, MR AHMED ATTAH NOW!

Image
In yet another display of impunity and propensity for bloodshed , the Kogi East Zonal Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Mr Ahmed Attah was caught on video threatening violence against electorates in the zone suspected of desiring to vote against the outgoing Governor of Kogi State, Mr Yahaya Bello. While addressing a rally of APC supporters in Igala Language  on Sunday the APC executive said " anyone who knows his purpose for going to the polls is not to vote for Bello should not dare to come home!"  The desperation of the outgoing government in Kogi State to return itself to power through the force of arms is no longer a secret, but we are alarmed at the impudence of this public declaration of violence against law abiding citizens willing to carry out their most fundamental civic duty in a democracy. Of course there were security agents present at this rally, but Mr Attah walked away free after this treasonable utterance which he's su

After the demise of political gladiators like Audu, Achema, A.T Ahmed, Awoniyi, Stephen, other names that comes to mind are Ibro, Wada, Adaba, Ogbeha and they all are sick of Bello's government and want a change in Lugard House for the benefit of all kogites. Political staminas will come to play in the forth coming gubernatorial election as these political heavy weights are been respected in their different constituencies/regions. How will fledging Bello and his supporters be able to unturned the will of the majority in the state, because as it seems, every MAJOR and REASONABLE kogite is against Bello reelection.

Kogi Guber Poll: Do Not Be Swayed By The News Of “leaders” And “big Names” Defecting To The Apc Who In Recent Times Has Caused You Pains And Hardship.

Image
Let me clarify this real quick; party members constitute but a very small fraction of the electorates. As a matter of fact, they are negligibly insignificant. Dear Kogites, do not be swayed by the news of “leaders” and “big names” defecting to the APC who in recent times has caused you pains and hardship. You—the good people of Kogi State, are all that is needed to defeat economic stagnation, poverty, hunger and bad governance as epitomized by the failed administration of Yahaya Bello. In all fairness, if these so called “leaders” don’t leave, there will be no space for you and I. Let them go and collect their own share of Bello’s loot. After all, it is kogi money. David G. Itopa Secretary, PDP-DG Kogi State PDP campaign council

Reacting to his victory at the PDP primary election and his chances in the November 16 governorship poll, Suleiman Abubakar stated that anyone or party that does not see Wada as a contender certainly does not understand the Kogi state politics. “Engineer Musa Wada is a beginner, is a novice, is a walkover, he’s structural defective in Kogi East politics, this and that, some of these new direction sycophants on social space called supporters are not good students of history in Kogi politics. “Was Alhaji Ibrahim Idris not a novice and a beginner in 2003 when he defeated the late Almighty Prince Abubakar Audu? Was governor Yahaya Bello not a novice and a beginner in 2015 when he gave late Prince Abubakar Audu a run for his money and fame in 2015 primary election that saw him come second and as fate will have it, he become a governor? “Engineer Wada defeated a former governor with structure; defeated a son of a former governor and a political godfather; defeated a two-time memb

It is with rude shock it was brought to the ever-busy, too-focused-to-be-distracted attention of Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, a picture where in his father, a former two-time Governor of Kogi State and elder statesman, His Excellency Ibrahim Idris was photoshopped along with Governor Yahaya Bello and his Chief of Staff-turned-running mate, Edward Onoja. First of all, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim wishes to state in clear terms that such Photoshop stands condemned. It is a joke taken too far in the spirit of campaigns. He would not bother responding aside for the fact that we are in a season now of campaigns as a State and alot is out there in the media space already and with anything, a fake news can be sold to the populace in the name of information sharing and campaign. Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim is using this piece to clarify that the picture that was so photoshopped is a picture of himself and his father, Ex-Governor Ibrahim Idris as far back as the early days of August 2019 in which

Depression: Adults Are Increasingly Immature And The Society Is Increasingly Frivolous, As Suicide And Gory News Every Where.

Image
In Nigeria, suicide have become the gory news everywhere, if One don't jumps into the river, One drinks sniper, One will slumps and dies, One sleeps and didn't wake up, what a Gory news all over the nation. This is really unfortunate. I have said it before and will say it again suicide will multiply in Nigeria not because times are hard. Times were HARD way back before now. The problem now is that adults are increasingly immature and the society is increasingly frivolous. People have no true friends, because friends now see themselves as rivals. Back stabbers/biters now masquerade as friends. Problem shared now becomes public information. There's a rat race going on and it's measured by fleeting wealth and nothing else true and lasting. Setbacks are mourned as a wasted life by those who should give love and genuine support. Men who rose through their friend’s magnanimity are now digging graves for such friends. So troubled man becomes a butt of jokes by those

Olafemi, who was the campaign DG to Abubakar Ibrahim in the last primary election of the PDP, said his party has “cheated” him on several occasions and he therefore could no longer pitch his tent with them.
