A senator representing Kogi East, Senator Jibrin Isah has urged the youth and people of Kogi State to see voters card as their strongest power to decide who govern them in 2023.
The All Progressive Congress Party (APC) senator, representing Kogi East, gave the charge during the just concluded 2- Day annual Italo Igala Festival at Anyigba, Kogi State.
Sen. Isah said, “If we politicians give money to electorate to support us, they will say, we lure them. Try and collect your Personal Voter’s Card (PVC) at the nearest registration centre or wards to vote for your choice in February, 2023.
“Your PVC is your right, your voice, and your only power to decide who represents you or govern you at any level of government in democracy and in 2023 general elections” he said.
The senator admonised politicians in Igala Kingdom to seek power for purpose of rendering selfless services to the people.
“When you are coming to power at any level in government, you are coming to serve your people, you are not coming to enrich yourself but to help your people because at the end of the day, God will ask you, the power I gave you, how have you used it to help others?” That is my principle, and that is what I expect others to imbibe”.
Sen. Echocho applauded the Igala monarch and Chairman, Kogi State Council of Chiefs, HRM, Mathew Alaji Opaluwa (Oguche Akpa 11) for successful hosting of 2022 Italo Igala Festival.
In a related Development, the Ejeh of Dekina, HRH, Usman Obaje commended the Atah Igala, HRM (Dr) Mathew Alaji Opaluwa, for his prompt action in organising the 2022 Italo Igala Festival.
“The Unity, Blessings, Peace and Love you have brought to us, is fundamental to the development and prosperity of Igala land and it shall be sustained” Obaje said.
