Senator A. T. Ahmed: 10 years gone already

On this day 10 years ago we lost our very own Distinguished Senator A.T. Ahmed!!!

A Statesman whose impact on the Nigerian nation as a whole and Kogi State in particular, is arguably, unrivalled by available records, as far as developmental politics and philantropism is concern, your very good deeds and sacrifice for a peaceful Kogi State, is still fresh in our memories.

May you continue to rest in peace having built men and institutions that are still propagating your commendable legacies. We are very proud to have your flesh and blood as a Patriotic Member of the 6th Assembly who lived up to expectation by putting the State above self and consistently followed the path of peace and unity in all of your conducts.

Finally, A message to Hon. Lawi A.T. Ahmed. I do not mourn our hero and torch bearer, I celebrate him as I celebrate you too on a day like this because you were brave enough to step into his shoes in order to continue in his legacies but again may I appeal to you never to fail in your continous efforts and actions to lead your constituents in the very best ways our late heroes would lead.

You owe those coming behind you a responsibility to be able to add raise the name that brought you to stardom so that those coming behind you will be able to fly in same legacy and be proud of you.

All eyes are on you to see what will become of our late hero after you. May Allah continue to grant you the wisdom to work in the ways of your progenitors.

May the soul of Distinguished Sen. Ahmed Tijani Ahmed, continue to rest in peace!
