Engr Ohere is Good to Go

In a wake of political rejuvenation in Kogi central, I wrote an open letter to the state party delegates and party leader(s), I stressed the fact of the jaundical political benefits and achievement, kOgi state especially Kogi central Senatorial district has witnessed in the past four years, I called for a change of candidates as a way forward. I also pointed out that for Kogi central to witness dividends of democracy as others have been witnessing in some states, we must place the right people in the National Assembly especially our Senate and House of Reps. I was emphatic on the characteristics of such person we can send. While the letter went viral, I recieved lots of calls and message from people who shared thesame opinion as mine, and also some others who called to threatened me. 
As an electorate with capacity to gather support and votes from comrades, friends, colleagues, and family members who believed in me as an experience leader, I cannot act as a coward in putting up my political views and opinions and I will do more of that irrespective of withsayers or gainsayers.
In my last open letter, I pointed out that our leaders must search and bring on board NASS members that can fascilitate constituency projects back home, who can go all the way to provides jobs for the youths, someone who is eloquent and bold to stand on the floor or sit with his colleagues and air his view intellectually, someone sociable and capable to drive his request to his colleagues , someone highly educated and can bring meaningful policies that will better the lives of the people, someone who is always sitting with his people to hear their thoughts and opinions about local and national issues and lots more.
Today, I can say that for the exalted sit of kOgi Central Senator, Engr Abubakar Ohere is a worthy candidate that fits into the above description. As an astute administrator and seasoned Engineer, he has shown his wealth of experience in leadership. When he served as the commissioner of local govt and chieftaincy affair, he was very close to the grassroots that he is usually called the people governor, he reforms our chieftaincy institution and made them a Paramount segment of the government. On the second administration of Gov Yahaya Bello, he was redeployed to the ministry of works, here Engr Abubakar Ohere shown his structural capacity as Kogi witnessed several Infrastructure that has never been witnessed since the creation of the state, he oversee the speedy works in the CUSTECH in Osara, the construction of Referral hospital/teaching hospital in okene and others in the three Senatorial districts, several township roads in all the three Senatorial districts of kogi state, the Muhammadu Buhari Civic center, several schools built by this adminstration, renovation of the state specialist hospital, and the magnificent Ganaja flyover tending towards completion. In all his assignments, he has given youths opportunities and Empowered several others to be gainfully employed in govt civil service and in small and medium scale enterprises. He has gone further to fascilitate federal government jobs for good number of youths of kOgi Central. He also established a scholarship foundation that has sent several youths to the Master's degree.
Engr Abubakar Ohere is a man I have never met or work closely with, neither have I benefited anything directly from but with the testimonies of several people with substantial evidence of positive impact made by him in their lives, I strongly believe that if he is given opportunity to serve in the upper chamber of the national assembly, he will do better and will be our future Senate president we hope to have.

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte...

ORIGIN OF THE EBIRAS An elder beats the Agidibo to salute the spirits (Photo by EbiraView) Ebira Tao is the largest of the several Ebira groups found in about 8 states of Nigeria including the Federal Capital Teritory (FCT).

The Ebira later split into various groups and settled in different locations between 1680 and 1750 AD. The Eb...
