The Kogi state governorship aspirant, Alhaji Abdulazeez Omeiza Aliyu has been told not to disappoint the people of Kogi central senatorial district in the face of growing support for his ambition.
The call was made yesterday in Abuja when a group of youth from Kogi central met with the aspirant, Alhaji Abdulazeez Omeiza Aliyu who is contesting under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting which held at the Funplex Garden, Wuse Zone 6 in Abuja was conveyed by the President of Ebira Unity Forum, Prince Abdulkarim with the aim of initiating a structure for periodic interaction with the gubernatorial aspirants ahead of his public declaration.
The highpoint of the meeting was the unanimous declaration of support for the gubernatorial aspirant by the comrades and a call for the development of a workable plan for timely mobilization of the grassroots especially the undecided electorates just as they implored the aspirant to avail the comrades his manifesto to guide their communication to prospective supporters.
The comrades, however, urged the aspirant to be sincere in his ambition, noting that his decision to run for the Kogi governorship race has reawakened the hope of Ebira people in the state.
Comrade Albert Isah, in his contribution, told the gathering that Abdulazeez Omeiza has taken a bold step by breaking the long silence.
"I have already made up my mind to contest for the Kogi governorship election if nobody deemed it necessary to contest in Kogi central". Albert berated the lack of interest by Ebira notable politicians to contest the number one seat in the state since 2011.
Other comrades at the event reechoed the need to salvage the people of Kogi central from the pangs of maladministration, poverty and marginalization in a state where the resources is enjoyed only by a particular zone.
"In the past, we had a similar experience where we all rallied around a young man but later found out that he was out to trade", Comrade Ismaila Aminu said, urging the aspirant to work with all the major stakeholders in Ebira politics regardless of their party affiliations.
Comrade Abdulrazaq Mamman charged the aspirant to be firm and remain true to his ambition, saying that the cause should not be viewed as personal but for the good of Ebira people in particular and Kogi State in general.
"I want to assure you that my presence here today is not for you but for our people back home. My support for you is to ensure that an Ebira man becomes the governor of Kogi state in the next election and I want to be remembered for my role in ensuring your success".
Comrade Abdulrazaq further charged the attendants to be selfless in their solidarity for the aspirants and called for a formidable structure to drive the agenda.
Responding, Abdulaziz Omeiza thanked the comrades for their intelligent contributions.
"I am dumbfounded by your impressive contributions. It is a great pleasure holding this brainstorming session with you today.
" All the suggestions are noted and will be considered".
Abdulazeez reminded the gathering that since the ban on Kogi governorship campaign by INEC was yet to be lifted, only consultation was necessary for the time being but assured the comrades that his manifesto would be ready in a couple of weeks.
Other comrades at the meeting included the former president of the National Association Kogi State Students (NAKOSS), Cmr. Abubakar Eneye Shuaibu, Cmr. John Alabi, Cmr. Abubakar Kamaldeen (Moon), Cmr. Ahmed Isah (Mark One O) and Cmr. Ismail M. Kabir of EbiraView Media.
