My people, make I gist you about Governor Ahmed Ododo for Kogi state. E don serve two years plus now, and dem don notice some serious improvements wey dey happen for security and infrastructure.
The civil society organization, KONGONET, don come out to give am kudos for wetin him don achieve since him enter office. Dem talk say roads don improve, healthcare dey wake up small small, and agriculture dey get better vibes. But as usual, where light dey shine, shadows dey follow. Dem still get some wahala wey need correct attention.
For Lokoja, the state capital, water matter don turn serious gbege. Pipo dey suffer to find water, wahala wey dey make them rely on unsafe sources or expensive private vendors. The waste management sef na serious gbege; na wetin make Lokoja dey waka as the “dirtiest state capital” for Naija. This one dey pose big health risk for residents, chai!
Even though dem don improve security small, border communities still dey panic, as some attacks still dey happen. KONGONET dey urge Governor Ododo to hold quarterly town hall meetings make pipo fit talk their mind. E go help him balance wetin him dey do with wetin the citizens need.
Idris Abdul, wey be Executive Director of Conscience for Human Rights and Conflicts Resolution, just dey support wetin KONGONET talk. Him praise the governor for maintain peace and dey pay salary on time. But he still clear say ample work still dey ground for transportation, housing, and healthcare.
As Ododo dey enter the last phase of him tenure, wetin go happen from now till the end na wetin go determine how pipo go remember am. Dem dey call for sustainable water plans, good waste management, and better transport systems. No be to just shine for social media, but to make the towns dey work, make sense and fit enjoy life.
So, e good make the governor sit down, balance hin cabinet small, and appoint people wey sabi wetin dem dey do to carry Kogi state go higher. Make we dey watch as things dey unfold. E get as e go be!
