First I commend the effort of our brother Sunday Attabo who organized this great event, I describe the event as historical, and pray i...
Peace is the totality of serenity, absence of enmity, violence, hatred, insult and fighting. It brings about progress and development. We can not do without peace as a people and the need for peace is a counseling that must involve all hands. I princess Iye Grace Adejoh is involved how about you?
Peace is sacrosanct, we are having peaking reasons to leave in peace as kogites, the reason that makes the two rivers settle together at our backyard without disunity is enough reason to make us live in peace as settlers of kogi state.The abundance presence of natural resources in the states is another reasonable blessings to the state that should employ all and keep us in peace. The combination of three major different tribes enveloping different ethnicities as one is another good reason to leave in peace, as the only state which shares boundary with many other states in Nigeria and a link state between the north and the South, linking many of the South-South, and South - East states with all the northern state and the only state which share boundary with the entrance gate of the Federal capital territory.
All this signifies that we are peaceful people who make lifestyle and businesses easy for Nigerians because once you blocked Kogi roads,Nigeria as a whole country will be affected. Meanwhile we are the most talk about on national dailies in bad occurrences especially political violence, kidnapping, armed robbery, and all forms of insecurities.
We refused to take the advantage at our disposals, exploiting our resources judiciously to make developments and creating jobs for our lucrative and industrious sons and daughters. To combats against insecurity we must put all this variables into consideration and developing parameters to effective utilization of our resources and implementation and sufficient productive policies and rules.
I cease this medium to describe any elder, youth and young kogites who dreams to make Kogi as the number one state in Nigeria and Nigeria as the number one country in the world as the best person and one on the right path.
Parents need too step up their efforts in raising their children. Gone were the days when you ask children to sit down and they will sit without asking questions, so as parent we must be prepared to answer their questions by arming ourselves with good answers and responsible behaviour that can build trust in our children.
Parents must also get into their children business in an unprovocative manner with the sole aim of guiding in the right path.
We have left the days when killing is abominable, when death comes with fierce sentence and very few, when destruction of people's property is accepted as an unspeakable inhumane act.
Thus these are what we are living with presently. Mind you That (peace loving society) was the society and the Kogi that our forefathers handed over to our parents and they transferred it to us but the one we are having today is a rancorous and enmity society, having animalistic gestures of killing as norm.
To our children I say as you lay your bed so you will lie on it. If as a youth I picked up arms or my parent or leaders put arms in my hand I would not stand before you today as a gubernatorial Aspirant, I might have been dead or rottening in a prison some where. It is possible for you to also be aspiring for same inn the future as long as you embrace peace and stay on the right path.
Finally, my ambition, I m out to ameliorate the aforementioned issues and more yet to be mentioned, I commend the courage of every aspirants who is out to solve this problem but if you know you cannot complete this mission please I advise you to transfer your mandate to someone who is more ready to deliver the state and that person is
Princess Iye Grace Adejoh.
Thanks and God bless you all.
