In the world of politics, one often discovers that the pursuit of greater heights can strain even the closest bonds. Mubarak Abuche Musa, an active politician in Kogi State, has found himself at the center of a familial and political crossroads, where loyalty is questioned, alliances are tested, and ambitions are pitted against family ties.
Saliu, a political leader within his family, laments the disheartening sight of some of his Ochijenu family members joining forces with others to undermine him. This discord has spilled onto social media platforms like Facebook, where he faces mockery and attacks. The irony, he points out, lies in the fact that he considers these detractors to be part of his family.
Despite the internal strife, Saliu remains steadfast in his political aspirations, with a vision to elevate his family’s name in Kogi State and the nation at large. He draws a parallel with the Adeleke family, highlighting their unity in supporting family members in electoral contests. This unity, he believes, has propelled them to political success, even yielding a governor in their state.
In contrast, Saliu observes that some of his family members are actively supporting the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, aiming to diminish his influence in Kogi State politics. He expresses his faith in divine justice, believing that those who have brought him adversity within his own family will one day be held accountable.
While recognizing the role of self-interest in politics, Saliu emphasizes the significance of family loyalty. He insists that particular interests, particularly familial ones, should take precedence over others. His support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) is driven by his desire to improve the lives of his people by accessing government resources for development projects and human capital advancement.
In closing, Dr. Mubarak Musa Saliu conveys his unwavering dedication to the welfare of the people. He acknowledges that not everyone shares his vision, but he remains hopeful that time will reveal the wisdom of his choices and the regret of those who have opposed him.
In the midst of this political and familial turmoil, Mubarak signed off with “Yours in the struggle,” maintaining his commitment to the betterment of his community and the pursuit of his political ambitions.
