In a meeting of loyalty and leadership, Hon. Yaba Maisaka Shares a moment with former Governor Yahaya Bello. Lokoja which is the heartbeat of Kogi State, has always been blessed with leaders of vision and character. Among such figures stands Hon. A.A. Yaba Maisaka, a man whose journey in grassroots politics speaks volumes of resilience, humility, and continued loyalty to the people and the ideals of progressive leadership.
Having contested twice for the office of Executive Chairman of Lokoja Local Government Area under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Yaba Maisaka has consistently shown that leadership is not about position, but about service. His firm connection to the grassroots, especially in his beloved Ward E, has earned him the respect and admiration of both the young and the old.
Whispers are now turning into calls, from the good people of Lokoja who believe that Hon. Yaba’s voice is needed at the State level. There is a growing necessity for him to contest for the Kogi State House of Assembly, a move many see as a natural progression for a man who has paid his dues and remained steadfast in the service of his people.
Yesterday, Hon. Yaba Maisaka was pictured with His Excellency, the former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, a man many of us consider a mentor and leader. The image speaks volumes. In it, Hon. Yaba’s trademark humility radiates through his smile, a quiet yet powerful reminder of the loyalty and respect he holds for those who have paved the way.
For those who know Hon. Yaba, that smile is familiar. It is the smile of a man who listens more than he speaks, serves more than he seeks, and stands by the people regardless of circumstances. It is the smile of hope and quiet confidence.
As the call grows louder for his candidacy to represent Lokoja at the Kogi State House of Assembly, one thing is clear, Hon. A.A. Yaba Maisaka is not just a politician. He is a servant-leader whose time has truly come.
Lokoja deserves his voice. Kogi needs his kind of loyalty. The people are ready
