A former commissioner for Works and Housing, Abubakar Ohere in the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has outlined his plans for Kogi Central when he emerges as Senator in the 2023 general elections.
Ohere who has since picked his interest and nomination form while speaking to journalists recently in Abuja, said his reason for contesting for the office of Senate is to ensure bills and laws that will favor his sect of the country that will improve his people are well represented.
While expressing optimism that with Yahaya Bello as the President of Nigeria in 2023 there will be a move from traditional governance to modern ways of leadership.
He said “The purpose of the representation at the national assembly is to enhance proper litigations, legislation that will let government do their work so by this I’m saying that coming up to represent Kogi central is we are going to package all the necessary legislation that will enable the Federal government to attend to the Ajaokuta company.”
Furthermore that, “We will make sure that the Federal government looks at our roads because virtually half of the roads in Kogi central belong to the federal government. So we have a lot of infrastructure that is looking for attention. So our purpose in the national assembly is to throw such legislation that will help the Federal government to look inward.
“Not only the central if you look, When you leave Abaji you won’t see good roads Until you reach Benin which is uncalled for and we want to and we want to make up a legislation that will make the federal government see the need to address these challenging incidents in our roads. These are part of the things we are going to do,” he said.
According to him” We are open to all options as much as we are loyal party members. We believe in the party’s structure and we are going to work in the party’s regulation and guidelines.
” Don’t forget also that in the current dispensation the youth in democracy, the governance being shifted from the older version to the youth democracy and when I said the youths democracy; I’m talking of the youths class that have proper understanding of the challenges of Nigeria. So by that his excellency represents that youth democracy so by this I’m convinced that the youth will not disappoint him in 2023.
“When you look at his credentials he has performed so well in terms of unifying Kogi State never mind the background, the geographic location and the ethics difference of Kogi State.
“He has done so well in terms of unifying the people of Kogi State we are believing God that since this is another big question we are lacking at the national level if he becomes the president of Nigeria in May 2023 he is going to throw up a system that will harmonise and unify Nigeria”.
