With the clock ticking and time drawing close, the people of Kogi state awaits November a slated month for them to cast their votes on who will be their governor. One will rather not be mistaken if he uses the phrase, "next governor of Kogi". No doubt the people democratic party have filled in their flag bearer with their recently concluded primaries. With the outcome of the primary election result, the party in it's entirety should not cry foul if the loose in Kogi state guber race, because they are still celebrating and patronizing corruption. The emergence of Wada as their flag bearer shows that the party is no way close in curbing electoral malpractice and internal politics within the party. Looking at the incumbent governors records, one will hastily wonder if the so called delegates who voted for Wada are from another planet, or it was money bags as usual. That awkward moment when you will collect brown envelope and vote against your conscience, a good mind reader can quickly see it all over your face at the election arena. The people of Kogi state now have the option to choose between two strong opponents, contenders who have been in the lugard house before and exhibited their different leadership skills. The performance of this two competitors can be compared analytically using six categories thus; Job creation, disaster management, tourism, infrastructure, health care and education sector. For the incumbent, one may not have hundred percent knowledge of his stewardship, but what is known is he is far from achieving these categories in the last four years. He joined the likes of other few governors to owe workers their wages, to many he is not a leader to be reckon with, cause when you are in the position to be the distributor of state resources, you not deny workers their wages for most certainly natural laws will catch up with you, posterity will not forgive you and the words of God will hunt you. But at the same vain, some people have also commended his leadership styles and hailed him, noting him as a messiah and will always throw their weights of support at him. While the analysis kept flying, Prince Audu Abubakar the APC flag bearer has long been tested. His first tenure was from January 1992 until November 1993. And the second from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2003. No doubt he beat some of the comparative analysis used here, he attempted on many of them. But that doesn't mean he left Lugard house without any stain of corruption and misappropriation of public fund. After his tenure, there were many allegations of embezzlement of Kogi fund against him. Immediately after his handover in 2003, and the constitutional effluxion of his immunity, Audu was arrested in handcuffs by the Nigerian Economic and financial crime commission. He later appealed against an interlocutory decision of the high court in that trial to court of Appeal, and thereafter to supreme court. Unfortunately for him and his legal councils his appeal was thrown out . Upon lapse of the appeal in 2012, the commission invited Audu for fresh arraignment in terms of the judgment of the Supreme Court. Audu would later abscond from Nigeria all in the bid to run away from trial. Both Audu and Wada have had the same amount of time in democratic dispensation to prove their mettle and that each candidates track records will greatly influence the choice of the electorates. As has been exrayed, they two did not actually live upto the expectations of the good people of Kogi state, in one way or the other they were viewed as failures, but one thing among they views is that their failures did not stop them from resurfacing again, since destiny have had it that they will both meet again at the polls come November. The big decision of choosing the best among two unreliable alternatives now lies on Kogi state electorates. Comr Ahizi Martins
