In 2016 when Gov Bello assumed office, the aggrieved oppositions recruited people to be spreading fake news and blackmailing his administration on social media and Grassroots.
Some Youths in the state voluntarily came out to enlighten citizens about the goodwill message of APC/GYB to counter the recruited agent of bad governance.
In the course of defending the government, many were nicknamed all sorts of foul names, this followed manufactured one “Data Boys” and “Jobless Youths”.
Fortunately, those wrongly nicknamed were not moved nor turned their back at the government because they were birthed with passion for our dear state, and there was never a good respond to this insult until Gov Bello appointed Pharmacist Asuku as his Chief Of Staff.
The testimony today, is that Chief Asuku has provide us the best response to those insults as the then jobless Youths have become salary earners, some are lecturers and non-academics staffs both in state and federal institutions while some are appointed Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Councilors, Board Chairmen and secretaries.
Many were employed into paramilitary, FIRS, Federal Ministries and many other agencies.
There are Bsc, Msc and PhD among Data boys today with the help of Chief Asuku benevolence and generousity towards Kogites.
Today, the jobless youths has become CEO as those that are business oriented among us were supported financially by the government through the Youths Emancipator, AsukuLifted.
He did not limited this gesture to a particular, tribe, religion, gender or party, he extended it to everyone, even critics of this government and people from other states are beneficiaries of this gesture.
It wasn’t a surprised to me the day his Boss, H. E Alh Yahays Bello acknowledged his good deeds inside glasshouse where he called him “Youths Ambassador” because it’s too glaring.
He did not only help us to respond to those insults we’re receiving every blesses day on social media before he was appointment as Chief Of Staff, he also proved to us that every Kogites will enjoy dividends of democracy if he is opportune to govern the state.
Kogites, let’s rise up for this multi talented young man as the next governor of our dear state.
