Your excellency sir, I cannot be q...

The political events of the past five months that GYB took over the mantle of leadership of Kogi State needs overview in order to guide us as to what lies in wait for us.

One area I find disturbing and which has not received the genius attention of the governor is the political crisis rocking the sail of the State's boat. God, in His infinite mercy has sustained the electoral victory of our governor through resounding victories (one after the other) at the Kogi State Election Tribunal. However,...
