KOGI TWO YEARS OF PROGRESSIVE FLIGHT BY CAPT IDRIS WADA
Sworn in as the third elected governor of Kogi State on the 27th of January, 2012, Capt Idris Wada has not relented in his efforts and vision to move the state to the next level with his uncommon transformation programmes.Situated on the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue, Kogi state experienced one of the worst flood disasters in the history of the country in 2012 which had a profound impact on the government and the people of the state. But the history of the 2012 flood disaster in Kogi State has an uneasy dichotomy; while over 623,690 people were displaced, 61,775 houses were destroyed and 304,775 hectares of farmlands washed away across nine local government councils of the state on one hand, the 2012 flood disaster in kogi state on the other hand triggered a new agro initiative as the Wada administration embarked on aggressive dry season irrigation rice farming, exploiting the flooded river banks of Niger and Benue into fertile rice farmlands.

Opinion: Anti-gay marriage law: where is APC?
By Josephine Babatunde
In the past few days, the federal government, and its head, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, have been receiving encomiums from all shades of groups in the country for signing the same sex prohibition bill into law. Amongst these have been religious groups and opinion leaders, but curiously, Nigeria’s main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has not voiced an opinion, one way or the other.
Opinion: Mu'azu And The Task Of Repositioning The PDP
By Theophilus Ilevbare
It was a new vista for the PDP as the former two time governor of Bauchi state, Adamu Mu’azu, emerged as the compromise candidate for the chairmanship of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. It is a whole new ball game for the PDP national chairman, nothing compared to his former position as the chief servant of Bauchi state from 1999 to 2007. The monumental crisis that rocked the ruling party in recent months under the erstwhile chairman, Bamanga Tukur, culminated in the defection of five PDP governors. Mu’azu comes into office to the exigency of the arduous task of party members reconciliation. He mounts the saddle at a time the party is coming to terms with some of the most profound rift the PDP has ever known since its formation. Personal ambition and vested interests for elective positions for next year general elections have turned the ruling party to a battle ground of sorts. The foot soldiers of President Goodluck Jonathan have already set the pace with the verbal warfare it has been embroiled with the opposition party and whoever has expressed any political ambition capable of truncating the second term aspiration of Mr. President. Stemming the tide of defecting members at all levels of the party to the All Progressive Congress will compel the PDP chairman to hit the ground running, particularly as lawmakers in the upper legislative chamber are warming up for what will become another tsunami of defection to hit the party.

Governor Wada: Two years of Accelerated Transformation of Kogi State
To Captain Idris Ichalla Wada, Governor of Kogi State, governance is no more a “weary hill to scale”, borrowing the literary expression of Marcus Fabius Quintilianus. Now mid-way into his first term, indeed, midway into his climb, the developments on ground have reinvigorated him so much that, he can look up
with the confidence of an astute mountaineer that he will, without doubt, get to the summit of governance.

THE BARE-FACE LIES OF MUHAMMED IDRIS
Politics, as we know it in Nigeria is a game of intrigues; a platform for double-speak. Be that as it may, one would not expect that someone will deliberately stand truth on its head just to destroy a fellow human being.
Unless people realize and accept that power comes from God, they will continue to be under the illusion that they are ‘tin gods’ that must be feared and obeyed. How else would one view the recent ranting of Hon Mohammed Idris, son of the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris in a sponsored write-up in The Guardian of 17th December, 2013, intended to discredit the administration of his father’s successor, Captain Idris Ichalla Wada? To say that Hon Idris is an attention seeker is stating the obvious.
Since he lost the bid to install Alhaji Jibrin Isa Echocho as governor of the state, he has thrown caution and decorum to the wind, constituting himself as opposition. One is not surprised at the venom he poured on the administration of Captain Wada because Hon Idris has lost touch with reality. How many times has he visited the state since his election into the House of Representatives?
Hon Idris does not seem to be conversant with the admonition that ‘those who live in glass houses should not throw stones’. Perhaps, he has forgotten how his father, even as a sitting governor fought so hard to impose him on the people of his constituency, who saw and still see him as a stranger because he does not know them and therefore, cannot claim to represent them.
The only time his voice was ever heard on the floor of the House was during the debate on the removal of petroleum subsidy when he pitched side against the people; the people he now claims to be speaking for. Indeed, man has short memory.
The governor, it is a well known fact still enjoys a healthy relationship with Mohammed’s father contrary to the impression of a frosty relationship being painted by him. This is understandable because Mohammed is still in a dream world. He is one of those who still day dream that their candidate, Echocho would be declared as governor of Kogi State.
The idea is to set his father and the governor on war path. The lawmaker, who represents Ankpa/Omala/Olamaboro federal constituency, was quoted in the said report to have said, “…supporters of the past governor, whose influence in Kogi PDP cannot be underestimated, are biting their fingers for installing Wada as Kogi governor”
Their reason for this is that the governor had “failed to live up to the expectation of the people of the state”. He had gone ahead to predict that “Wada would face Herculean task to reclaim his mandate in the 2015 polls”. As should be expected, he could not hide his motive as he said, Wada’s ‘abysmal’ performance would, all the same, not rob the party of victory at the polls.
This could mean two things; First, that his accusation of non-performance is, after all, a ruse meant only to discredit the governor, whom many see to be making good progress. It could also mean that Mohammed, as usual, is trying to raise the political stakes of his candidate, Echocho. This much he confirmed when he said, “Although the governor comes from my party, but we would sort that one out later. Time would tell what would happen…we would do our changes internally”.
He also said, “The government of Kogi State is not working in line with the aspirations of our people…if you go home, poverty is too high (sic) in my place. I am telling you the gospel truth and we say we have a government”. What would have most probably interested anyone is for Mohammed to tell the people what he has done this past two years and seven months to alleviate the poverty he claims is every where in his constituency. His claim to constituency project is window dressing. We dare him to come home and publicly visit the sites of these functioning projects if they ever exist.
It is a pity that he wants to pick the little pec in someone else’s eyes without first picking the log in his own eyes. Of all the National Assembly members from the nine constituencies in the state, Mohammed remains the least visible both in terms of representation and delivery of democracy dividends.
While other national lawmakers are busy gathering goodwill from their people given their level of performance, Mohammed is busy chasing shadows. When a
man points a finger at somebody, the remaining four are pointing at him. This is unfortunately the case of Mohammed.
Has he bothered to find out what his people think of him? Perhaps, he hasn’t bothered to do so. Let us oblige him with that. For those in his constituency, his, is a ‘wasted mandate’. His abysmal performance has only confirmed their initial fears-that he is a stranger, who cashed him on his father’s influence to be where he is.
Need we remind him that the same Captain Wada he accuses of non-performance is the one that is crossing ‘ts’ and dotting the ‘is’ left behind by his father so that his father’s legacies are not lost on the sands of time?
The first project inaugurated by the Wada-led administration was the Ankpa township road in the constituency represented by Mohammed. If he seeks relevance, we advise him to do so with utmost decorum and civility. What he is doing at the moment will only bring out his folly.
A word is enough for the wise.
