You said you are a lion, who cares, Kogi indigenes are not interested in banters rather they need good governance, you have been a failure for the few opportunities given you as a House of rep member you fought and torn your cloth disgracing the confidence your constituencies repose on you

They tried you again as a Senator, instead you make enemies everywhere including Oluremi Tinubu, you only interested in living in squalor and opulence leaving the constituencies in the mercy of poverty. you are only good in acting drama making jest of jagaban during primaries take note I'm neither LP, APC nor PDP but your actions was so demeaning and disgraceful.

Even though I'm not a kogite but i believe they know whom to vote but absolutely not you DINO. Kogi need development and liberation.

Mtchew. Both Dino n Bello no good

Burr na lion de dey zoo nah

How can one state have both Bello and Melaye as indigenes? How? And not just have them as indigenes but also elect them to high office? Governor, HoR Member, Senator? With all the smart, educated people in Kogi - these two are the best to put forward?

Kogites - your future is in your hands.

Your reason is standing on its head and sitting on its legs. Ìf you're a lion and Yayah Bello is a human being, who's now naturally destined to live in zoo?

Natasha's Victory and Muri's Grassroots Momentum: A Forewarning to the APC Controlled Government in Kogi State.

--Hadi Dankogi

In the ever-changing landscape of the Kogi 2023 forthcoming gubernatorial election campaigns, recent developments have emerged as pivotal turning points, casting a foreboding shadow over the political prospects of the incumbent Governor Bello's political base; Natasha Akpoti's triumph at the election Tribunal, and Muri's emergence backed by organic support have exposed vulnerabilities in the current APC led administration, suggesting the potential conclusion of the reign of the ruling party in the State.

*Natasha's Triumph at the Tribunal:*

Natasha Akpoti's resounding victory at the Tribunal has sent shockwaves through Kogi's political terrain. Her decisive win stands as a watershed moment in the state's political history, signifying her unwavering resolve and the profound discontentment with the Governor Bello's administration.

In her legal battle against the incumbent, Natasha's ability to secure such a resounding win is nothing short of extraordinary. It underscores her unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law, virtues deeply resonating with Kogi people. Her triumph is a resounding declaration that Kogi citizens are not merely yearning for change, but are immediately and vociferously demanding it.

However, Natasha's victory also spotlights a glaring shortcoming in Governor Bello's administration. Despite being an incumbent governor with significant sway in the Central Senatorial District of the State where he hails from, and even possessing a sitting Senator from the area in his party at the time, His Excellency and his cabinet members from the district struggled in an election subsequently deemed flawed by the Tribunal. This inadequacy is palpable even in his Senatorial District, where he could not secure victory despite deploying political heavy-handedness. Incidents like the Local Government Area chairman caught tearing ballot papers as reported only serve to underscore the challenges confronting the incumbent government.

Additionally, owing to misguided political maneuvers stemming from the administration's disconnect with the populace, the government of the day took the controversial step of tampering with the entrance road leading to Natasha's hometown in Ihima . Many perceived this action as a desperate bid to hinder Natasha's influence, further stoking resentment against the incumbent.

*Muri's Organic Support*

Amidst the whirlwind of Kogi's 2023 gubernatorial race, a remarkable phenomenon has materialized, both confounding and inspiring political pundits and citizens alike. It is the narrative of Muri Yakubu Ajaka of the SDP, a candidate who, despite lacking the endorsement of a major political party, has ignited a grassroots movement that is sweeping across the state.

Muri's ascension to prominence attests to the potency of a bonafide connection with the grassroots. His endearing impact in the State particularly Kogi east as well as other regions, vividly portrayed in images and reports, showcases a candidate who comprehends the local issues that hold utmost significance for the good people of Kogi.

What is particularly striking is that Muri's appeal transcends geographical confines, resonating with citizens from all walks of life. This wide-ranging support was recently bolstered by an endorsement from a UK-based group, underscoring the international reach of his grassroots movement.

The crux of this movement lies in its organic essence. Muri has eschewed the traditional machinery of established political parties, opting instead to engage directly with the people. His willingness to lend an ear, empathize, and address the concerns of the ordinary Kogi citizens has struck a chord.

The transformation unfolding in Kogi's political landscape is profound, shifting away from the conventional paradigm of party-driven politics toward a new era where individuals like Muri, who genuinely comprehend the needs and aspirations of their constituents, take center stage. This metamorphosis is well-documented in reports from grassroots interactions, where Muri's message of hope, accountability, and progress deeply resonates with the electorate.

The yearning for fresh leadership and a departure from the status quo is palpable. Kogi citizens are no longer content with the business-as-usual approach that has yielded meagre results. Instead, they are embracing Muri's vision of a Kogi that caters for all its residents , offering opportunities to every citizen and partnering with the people to realize their aspirations.

As Muri's organic support continues to gain momentum, it sends an unequivocal message to the political establishment: the people of Kogi are searching beyond traditional party affiliations. They are seeking leaders who are ingrained in their communities, comprehend their struggles, and are ready to bring about meaningful change to the people of Kogi State.

*The Impending danger before the White Lion*

Governor Bello may boast of being a political lion, but the recent developments in the Kogi 2023 election campaigns suggest that the reign of excesses may be drawing to a close. Natasha's victory demonstrates a growing dissatisfaction with his leadership style, while Muri's organic support indicates a desire for a new direction. The combined force of these two factors should serve as a stern warning for the APC led government and their supporters.

Furthermore, the administration's disdain for the political figures of Kogi East Senatorial District and its disregard for the West Senatorial District have fanned the flames of bias and animosity, particularly along ethnic lines. This sentiment is anticipated to manifest itself on November 11th, 2023, election day. Regrettably, this negates the essence of the "New Direction" slogan that was espoused during the early days of the administration in 2016.

..........One would have expected "New Direction" to symbolize a political reorientation and the harmonization of Kogi's political culture as a state to lay a popularly accepted foundation across the three senatorial districts and down to the nine federal constituencies to enable an organized Kogi Agenda for National pursuits amongst the committee of states which will translate to a better living condition for her citizenry; Painfully, it appears the administration has leaned towards the antiquated path of avarice, which has historically hindered the state's progress and as such poses a big threat to the ruling party retaining the highest seat in the State. These factors, coupled with Natasha's triumph and Muri's grassroots support, serve as a stark cautionary signal to Governor Bello that his political reign may be approaching its twilight. The era of excesses and divisive politics could indeed be drawing to a close in Kogi state.

In conclusion, the evolving political landscape of Kogi in the run-up to the 2023 Guber Poll paints a compelling narrative. Natasha Akpoti's resounding victory at the Tribunal and Muri Yakubu Ajaka's remarkable grassroots movement symbolize a yearning for change and a break from the traditional political mold. These developments underscore a growing dissatisfaction with the status quo and a demand for fresh leadership that truly understands and addresses the needs of the people.

Governor Bello's administration, while initially promising a "New Direction," has faced significant challenges and criticisms, including allegations of electoral misconduct and divisive politics. The cracks in Bello's political armor, revealed by these recent events, suggest that his tenure may be approaching its twilight.

As the electorate seeks leaders deeply connected to their communities and genuinely responsive to their concerns, the era of old-fashioned politics and excesses could be drawing to a close in Kogi state. It is a pivotal moment, where the voices of the people, represented by Natasha and Muri, are reshaping the political landscape. The outcome of the upcoming election will ultimately determine whether this transformation takes root, setting Kogi on a new trajectory toward progress, unity, and accountable governance.

In Unity and Progress,
Abdulmalik, Hadi Adinoyi.

Poetry on another level.

I read this verse and was instantly transported to another realm where literally anything is possible. Which made the hard crash to reality all the more difficult to bear.

Dino Melaye will turn Kogi into a forecourt for luxury cars - but only for him and his cronies. The good people of Kogi will not own or drive any of those cars - and their basic, most urgent needs will still remain unmet.

Dino Melaye, just like Yaya Bello (and his stooge, Usman Ododo) are not the 'leaders' Kogi needs. They never were and never will be. I hope Kogi has learned its lesson after 8 hellish years under Yaya Bello: if Kogi votes for Usman Ododo or Dino Melaye then things can only get worse. Much, much worse.

Elections have consequences.

Talk is cheap

Politics without history has no roots; history without politics bears no fruits. If one inquires into the content of the relation between politics and history, then one discovers it is defined by symbiotic dependence. It indeed the history of those whom are struggling to make PDP better in Kogi state and Nigeria as a whole cannot be completed without Senator Dino Melaye; the PDP gubernatorial candidate Kogi state, because many people have witness on this. I just remembered when he said Anyone playing a role in governance, and is not ready to do what needs of the people, this is not a leader. And this is a well said. In this blessings day, I wish you a wonderful as you are. Wishing you a day full of good surprises, exciting opportunities, and amazing experiences. Enjoy every moment! May your day be as cheerful and delightful as your presence always is. SDM is coming 💪💪💪

*PDP Governorship Candidate, Dino Melaye Meets Stakeholders And Ijumu LGA PDP Members In Aiyetoro Gbede, Receives Overwhelming Support*

By *Gideon Ayodele*
*Sep 17, 2023*.

*...Prince Olushola Akanmode Commended for His Unwavering Support as PDP Governorship Candidate and Party Encourages Unity for Success*

In a significant gathering that exemplified unity, determination, and political camaraderie, the *People’s Democratic Party (PDP)* governorship candidate, *Sen. Dino Melaye*, held a crucial meeting with stakeholders and members of the PDP in Ijumu Local Government Area (LGA). The meeting, held in Aiyetoro Gbede, Dino Melaye’s hometown, marked a remarkable show of support and determination to bring positive change to Kogi West and Kogi State.

Prince Akanmode, a pivotal figure in the PDP and a driving force behind the party’s upcoming gubernatorial election, was heartwarmingly commended for his unwavering support for the party and its candidate. He called upon everyone present to work hand in hand, reinforcing the theme of unity for success.

During the meeting, the LGA Party Chairman passionately urged all attendees to rally around Senator Dino Melaye, expressing how this moment should not be missed – a golden opportunity bestowed upon Kogi West by the emergence of Dino Melaye, the party’s charismatic candidate.

Dr. Ojata also spoke, describing Dino Melaye as the most popular figure across the state, aptly labeling him as the “Kogi Agenda.”

Taking the stage, Prince Akanmode took the opportunity to address the ordeals he endured within the party. Incredibly, he admitted that despite the difficult times, he never left the PDP, leaving many wondering why certain self-proclaimed leaders departed the party.

In his speech, Dino Melaye expressed gratitude towards each and every supporter, acknowledging their dedication and determination to jointly salvage the state from years of maladministration.

Dino Melaye did not shy away from commenting on the individuals who deliberately chose to abandon the party. He claimed that their departures were motivated by greed and selfish reasons, with a primary focus of seeking personal financial gains elsewhere.

He emphasized his commitment to bring the state back on track through a carefully crafted blueprint for his administration in Kogi.

The gathering was filled with encouraging speeches from other prominent figures, with Prince Jambright Sumanu, Hon. Mokikan, and various others expressing their resolute dedication to ensuring the PDP and its candidate emerge victorious in the upcoming election.

These esteemed leaders, hailing from both the other senatorial districts, showed unwavering support for Dino Melaye’s mission to take over power in the state.

With unity, determination, and the support of committed members, the PDP’s governorship candidate, Dino Melaye, and his team are setting the stage for a transformative future for Kogi State.

Some things are not possible. Just like lions don't eat grass that is how it's not possible for Dino to win. We know the truth about our capacity.

It is not self denial if before election our choice is to WASTE OUR VOTES because it's a choice based of our acceptance of an already known inevitable outcome which means that our votes is just a waste of time because we already know that the chances of our winning is next to zero.

It is self denial and foolish if after wasting our votes we now cry that our wasted votes equates to a win votes. Something that it is obvious that we cannot win.

Dino has no chance of winning. Absolutely not!

^^^


Show your hand and stop hiding.

Dino is unworthy but so is your man, APC's Usman Ododo. Your party superintended 8 miserable years of total stagnation in the good state of Kogi - the same way it thoroughly mismanaged things at the federal level for 8 years. You can't sell Ododo openly because there's nothing to sell. You want to replicate the deception you carried out at the federal level - where the narrative was that APC's Bola Tinubu came to save Nigerians from...the APC's Muhammadu Buhari?

Let's see if Kogi makes the same mistake twice. Not long now.

Walahi una go hear word this time around, Kogi state is not for mediocrity.

Imagine the ones that ruled and plundered kogi state's wealth for 19 years with nothing to show for it now agitating to return to power after witnessing real progress in just 8 years of Yahaya Bello's rulership (evidence choke), their villages (Igala land) look like we're in the 13th century when you go there but na them they operate over 60% of all fuel stations in abuja, na them get the top hotels in Abuja and South Africa ( Ibro Hotels specifically) but could not invest in their land and people.

Ok. Fair enough.

It is now time to prove Yaya Bello was a better option than those who plundered for nearly 2 decades. List Yaya Bello's achievements.

We are waiting.

Nonsense.

Yahaya Bello is only a man. And a deeply flawed one at that. He is only a man!

I challenged you to showcase his administration and what it has done for Kogites. That shouldn't be hard to do! Don't ask us to google it. What has Bello's administration done in Kogi for 8 years - and why should Kogites vote for his protege and anointed son Usman Ododo? Speak!

u mean both u and yahaya bello are animals ?

Which committees did he serve on and what bills or recommendations came out of those committee assignments? Which bills did he sponsor, author or co-author? How many of them became laws? If he failed to get a bill passed, what lessons were learned?
