Ahead of Kogi State Local Government Election, A Chieftain of Action Alliance AA, Musa Olumayowa Yakubu says he is contesting the Chairmanship position to revive the lost glory of Ijumu Local Government Area.
Yakubu stated this while declaring his intention to family members at Iyamoye on Sunday.
In his words, “I am pleased to inform you of my readiness to accept the challenge of reviving and elevating Ijumu economy by running for the Chairmanship position in the forthcoming election.
“Driven by my academic excellence, experience and dedication to the economic and political advancement of Ijumu LGA, Okunland, and Kogi State at large, coupled with series of clarion calls from various groups, and my eagerness to restore the lost glory of Ijumu Kingdom, I am set for the tortious, damning but assured fruitful journey ahead.
“By the grace of God, the Federal Government of Nigeria has put an end to the anti people’s system of Caretaker Committee at the local government level, thereby returning power to its rightful place. This shift signifies a move towards genuine local government autonomy, and I am ready to accept the task of promoting Ijumu economy to an enviable height.
“As we all know, independent candidacy is not yet recognized in our constitution, I will be contesting under the banner of the Action Alliance Party (AA), a young yet formidable political entity whose motto, “Let The Masses Live,” resonates with my vision for effective governance at the grassroots level.
“While I am representing the Action Alliance Party (AA), I believe that the journey ahead requires a collective effort, transcending political, religious, and familial boundaries. Therefore, I kindly seek your individual and collective support in our quest to restore the dignity of our beloved homeland.
“We are currently in the consultation phase, and I aim to get to you before the official launch of the campaign to request for your steadfast support, which I trust will be granted wholeheartedly.
