Several issues had
been thrown up, many reasons had been given for the zero report card, blame
games had been traded, curses had been rained and yet, not much light has been
beamed on the “real enemies” within our political system.
As a group that
promoted the aspiration of Alh. Sanusi Abubakar (Gamji), we are proud of the
conduct, determination and maturity he brought into the political life of Ebira nation and we remain resolute on the
peace and oneness of Ebiraland as we are committed to the progress and
development of our people and fatherland and by extension a pledge to a true
and undiluted Ebira agends as these were the very qualities that define the
person of Alh. Sanusi Abubakar that
makes him stand out and bearing in mind that he reserves the right to contest
the elections.
Alh. Sanusi’s care
and support for the Ebira people and humanity in general has no limit and knows
no boundary. His commitment to the betterment and development and development
of our land can better be understood by taking a peep at his unrivalled records
of several interventions he has made in the area of health care, support for
youth education through sponsorship and scholarships, support for market women,
distribution of transformers, robust support for political in the power shift
struggle, involvement in peace and conflict resolution in the land e.t.c.
Therefore, to
support such a person in any human endeavour, politically or otherwise is to
encourage him and his likes to continue to do more for our land and a clear
signal to other sons and daughters of our land, that, indeed, it is good to be
good.
Hence, when is the
wisdom of the main APC leaders in KC and KW, they decided to source for a
different personality which is not only good they decided to source for a
different personality which is not only good enough to win the party’s
governorship primary election, but more than good enough to win the general
elections, settling for the choice of Alh.Sanusi Abubakar was as befitting as
it was easy.
In accepting to
john the APC governorship race, he was honest enough to state that he will need
to consult widely with the main political leaders as the required political structure
especially the delegates were under their control. He did promise that if the
outcome of his consultations was favorable and positive, he will put his utmost
best in the project to ensure that victory is achieved.
Indeed, the
outcome looks favorable and positive judging from the body languages, actions
and utterances of these politicians in the days and weeks to follow before the
primary. It’s on record that Alh.Sanusi did not just secure the individual
approval of senator Ohiare and former senator Ohize, he equally settled their
long standing feud and they started working together to actualize this laudable
project.
As a result of the
renewed interest and togetherness shown by these politicians, which they also
displayed by holding meetings and developing strategies together, Alh. Sanusi
Abubukar began to satisfy all the demands (financial or otherwise) made on him.
He began to bankroll the activities of the politicians, the super middle men
controlling delegates as well as the delegates themselves, in an extended and
expanded effort to liberate our people. Even the realization that the APC in
Okene local government area of the state was in crisis and had two factions
each spearheaded by Jegendo and Adai Haruna Okuku at that time, did not go down
well with him and he immediately put a mechanism in place to resolve the
issues. They were indeed settled and brought together by Alh.Sanusi, in a
calculated and conscious effort to make sure that the project succeed.
Our conviction and
that of Alh. Sannusi was further heightened when the political leaders began
the process of introducing the delegates to him and vice-versa. Several
meetings were held either at his residence or at designated places. Infact Alh.
Sanusi invited each of the five local government delegates of KC to his country
home one after the other to candidature as announced and directed by the party
leaders ie, the duo of senator Ohiare and senator Ohize as well as the APC
state chairman, Alh. Hadi Ametuo. Their responses was an emphatic endorsement
for Alh. Sanusi Abubakar and they all pledged their total support for the
project. This is verifiable from the pictures below.
Alh. Sanusi
Abubakar, more than any other aspirant also went ahead to satisfy the traditional
and cultural requirements for seeking such elective position. He met with the
leaders and elders of Okovi, Agada and Ada-ehi clans respectively to present
himself and the position of the political leaders to them as well as to seek
for their support and blessings for the project. It’s on record that their
acceptance and support for the project was overwhelming. How can someone who
has taken these necessary steps and demonstrated tremendous respect for
political structures, the elders and their opinions, be accused of jumping into
the in actual sense, it was only after Alh. Sanusi joined the race that the
polical leaders and their structures were consciously mobilized and brought
together to work for Gamji who was more than qualified to lead the charge to
prosecute the Ebira agenda and power shift respectively.
Once the majority
of the stakeholders had given their approval and agreed to the terms of the
project for a successful outing in the interest of Ebiraland, Alh Sanusi did
not hestitate to answer to the opportunity to serve. At every stage, Alh.
Sanusi continue to satisfy his own side of the bargain. How was he to know that
in spite of all the assurances given and the huge amount of money they
collected especially as delegates, that they still harbor ulterior motives
against the interest of Ebiraland?.
On the eve of the
primary, Alh. Sanusi made arrangements and transported over 1,500 delegates
from the three senatorial zones to Lokoja majority of which were from KC. He
accommodated them, fed them and created a conducive atmosphere for them to
relax and enjoy themselves and they were constantly briefed and reminded of the
suffering of our people under this tyrants that has been ruling the state and
the need to seize the opportunity and change the situation for once. On the day
of the primary, these delegates lined up to collect N 100,000.00 each to take care of other expense and logistics, all
in a bid to keep them focused on the poject. If some of these greedy and
dishonest delegates now went ahead and still fell for promissory notes to do
the bidding of some selfish political leaders and supper middle men, as well as
the bidding of some unseen hands, how was Alh. Sanusi suppose to know?
The erroneous
claim from some quarters that some aspirants were popular based on the outcome
of the results was achieved as a result of a complete dummy and fraud played on
the greedy delegates. While Alh. Sanusi Abubakar honesty paid all the
delegates. While Alh. Sanusi Abubakar honestly paid all the delegates, the amount
he promised, some of his opponents deceived the delegates with promissory notes
ranging between N300,000.00 to N 1,000,000.00 to secure their vote and all of
such delegates are now licking their wounds today as the promissory notes were
never redeemed.
It must be said
however, that when it was clear that senator Ohiare could not secure the
co-operation of the other aspirant from KC to agree on a consensus arrangement to be represented
the Alh. Sanusi Abubakar, like the KW has demonstrated by stepping down for
him, the fight for delegates became messy and untidy and Alh. Sanusi chose not
to participate in such opened scramble for delegates. This was all in a bid for
the peace and unity of our land to be maintained. Even a member of the party executive who
pretended to also doubles as a representative of Gamji, traded the delegates
from KW that was kept under his watch to his opponent based on a promissory
note of N2,000,000.00 which he never got too.
The man,Alh sanusi
Abubakar has taken the event in his stride and has since described the event as
part of the continuous sacrifices that is necessary for a better tomorrow.
The party
executives, some polical leaders, majority of the delegates from Kogi Central
and their middle men should explain to ebira people how they could be so greedy
and dishonest to pretend to be for power shift and yet mortgaged the
opportunity to win the APC ticket even after collecting so much from Alh.sanusi
Abubakar and possibly some stipends from other spirants.
Alh, Sanusi
Abubakar has consistently shown love and care for his father land, a man that
had committed a substantial part of his personal wealth for the peace,
development and progress of his father land. We can only pray that God will
continue to provide you with the strength, wisdom and more resources to
continue to do more for the upliftment of Ebira nation and humanity is general.
You have paid your dues and your charity began from your home. Your foundation
is solid as we await the super structure by the special grace of God.
For those that are
interested in knowing who the “real enemies” of our land are, direct your
search light on the delegates, some political leaders, supper middle men
controlling delegates and the unseen hands in the society.
Long live
Ebiraland, long live Kogi state, long live Nigeria.
God bless us and
our land.
Thanks.
