As activities drums up ushering in the dates of both the primary elections of the APC and subsequently the Major local government polls in kogi state, the choice of candidates to be voted for in the coming LGA polls is presently the songs on the lips of several political observers and actors in the 21 LGAs of Kogi State.

In yagba east, the songs are not also different as the masses are closing monitoring events and banking on the various political parties to bring on board candidates with Quality pedigree and selfless zeal to provide Purposeful leadership for the people at the grassroot level.

This is because the grassroot is believed to be the major rallying and reliance point of the people towards harnessing of dividends of democracy that flows from the top. It is imparative to have credible government at that level.

His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, the executive Governor of Kogi state has been able to build a template of sustainable development and ensured everyone is carried along in the scheme of the developmental facets of the state and this has equally reflected in the distribution of projects across all zones and Political Appointments.

Yagba land have had it’s fair share of Quality governance as the government of H.E Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello in his magnanimity situated a full capacity rice Mill in yagba west, a neighbouring LGA that shares border with yagba east.

It is also imparative to note that yagba east deserves someone who will compliment the efforts of the untiring youthful Governor of Kogi state at the grassrroot and that personality is no other candidate than Hon Abdulwakil Olorunjuwon Sule, Immediate past Senior Special Assistant to his Excellency on Security (YE) and the Present Senior Special Assistant on culture to his Excellency, a Passionate and Unrepentant committed member of the GYB Political Family.

He has been tested and trusted within his short stinct in office as the Security chief of the LGA as he comported and carried out his duties to the Admiration of the populace & teaming Masses of yagba east.

A well schooled and sound political Galvanizer whose swaviness in the handling of the grassrroot is Sine qua non as he puts the people first at the top of his priorities.

Hon Abdulwakil Olorunjuwon Sule is a compassionate personality who gives so much respect for the traditional institutions who are custodians of the people at the core grassroot. All this assertions can be verified from the various traditional councils in yagba east LGA.

During his brief but impactful stinct as the LGA Security Chief, the Party that gave him the privilegde and platform to serve as an appointee of H E Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello was given the front row in the business of governance as all goodies and dividends of democracy are usually brought to thier knowledge thereby making them the “First to Know” in the scheme of things.

Governance at the grassroots was brought to the door steps of the people particularly the poor and he spent a larger chunck of the resources available in promoting human capacity Building and Development.

I remember on a particular visit to the Oke-Oyi Axis of Yagba East where he was a guest at Ife olukotun during a skill Acquisation training and empowerment program some months back. The organizers made it known that people have been trained and it was just a program to empower the trainees. Hon Abdulwakil Sule made an on the spot cash donation to expand the scope of the program to accommodate more beneficiaries. This he said will build more capacities than giving them petty cash as the training will make them substantial income generators.

That is the kind of leaders I think yagba east deserves as those actions will reduce poverty and develop the GDP of the LGA.

Hon Abdulwakil Sule has always been an advocate of capacity building towards eradicating poverty and this he has consistently shown in his doings.

He is a strong grassrooter with a cult-like followership base and astute Alumni of the Asiwaju Idris Asiru School of Politics who has learnt the act of bringing people together over time.

Yagba east will be appreciative of H.E Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello if this Epitome of kindness and humility is considered for the position of the Executive Chairman of Yagba east LGA.

The yearnings of the core-grassroot is hon Abdulwakil Sule as this will not only boost the chances of the party in the coming LGA polls but also provide a Quality complimenting governance at the grassroots level.

While concious of the elitists ideologies, he is a well connected grassrooted politician with links to the two Axis of Yagba east, A situation which potends an even developement to the good people of Yagba east.

In conclusion, hon Abdulwakil Sule is a strong rallying point in the politics of Yagba east.
