Foremost Ebira socio-cultural group known as Ebira Youth Congress (EYC) through its leadership has issued a stern warning to all sons and daughters of Ebiraland not to vote any other candidate but Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello in the November 16th election in Kogi State.
In a statement made available to press on the 17th of October 2019, the group noted that Ebira land has been subjected and relegated to second class citizens in Kogi State since 1992 by the Igalas and that God, through Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has come to liberate the endless ridicule of Ebiraland by the Igalas, when he(GYB) emerged the governor of Kogi State mysteriously in 2015
“We are compelled by recent history of ethnic suppression by the Igalas to sound this note of warning to all sons and daughters of Ebiraland that on no account should any of us vote for the PDP and her candidate, Engr Musa Wada Phd and any other candidate for that matter”.
“Only a slaved bastard from amongst us will dare cast their vote for another candidate other than Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello” the group stated.
The group also stated that, though Alhaji Yahaya Bello hasn’t performed up to expectations even in his Senatorial extractions but as a matter of sentiment and brotherhood are compelled to protect the Ebira agenda by voting in blocks for GYB.
The group categorically states that they won’t hesitate to call the bluffs of any Ebira bastard that votes for Engr Musa Wada and that arrangements are in place to make sure that not even the PDP and her candidate will get up to a hundred (100) vote across the five (5) local government that makes up Kogi Central Senatorial district—the home of the incumbent Governor.
The group also called on the Igalas to exercise patience and wait for their turn in 2024 when Chief Edward Onoja would take over from GYB.
“Kogi State belongs to us now and the Igalas must respect that and wait their turn” the group concluded
