The PDP party in Kogi has expressed disappointment at the fact that the Governor of the state’s birthday since coming to office has not been used to commission any project or touch lives of people of the state, running to six years in office.
The statement regretted that, the misplacement on the word “youth” as being wrongly attached to the name of the Governor is one of the many problems associated with his youthful exuberance, which going by United Nations declaration, is pegged at 24 and the African Union charter at 35, hence the Governor should hence, behave like an adult and face the serious business of governing the state, as it refers: “You will recall that Gowon even ruled Nigeria at age 29, and wasn’t like this”, others may include Donald Duke and co..
The statement noted that, “the idea of importing football stars to the state with state hard earned money and borrowed loans should not be encouraged, as it will only lead to more capital flights and a big minus to the states lean purse, while noting also that those people won’t vote at APC Presidential Primaries.
The PDP in it’s statement signed by the Director, Media & Communications, Comrade Dayo Onibiyo, enjoins the Governor to emulate other Governors and leaders who use their birthdays to touch lives of the needy, the sick, the down troden and of course the masses, who today should have been celebrating along with him.
The PDP therefore, wish the Governor God’s grace at his birthday, and appealed to him, to use his office to serve humanity as a way of saying thank you GOD Almighty.
The statement ends, by wishing, that the next birthday will be marked commissioning laudable projects for the state and witnessing dramatic reduction in the debts acquired for the state.
