The lawmaker representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State, Leke Abejide, has encouraged ‘Kogites’ to continue maintaining peaceful coexistence and robust participation in next year’s general elections.
Abejide, chairman of the House Committee on Customs, stated this in his congratulatory message to the people on the occasion of Kogi State’s 31st anniversary.
According to him, the Confluence State had – since its creation on August 27, 1991, by the administration of former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida – passed through thick and thin.
He added that while the state had yet to reach its full potential, it had made significant progress over time, adding that it was the task of every member of the state to work for its progress.

He predicted that Kogi and Nigeria would be on the verge of rapid socioeconomic transformation in the coming years, adding that the transformation had begun in the Yagba Federal Constituency.
The lawmaker is seeking re-election to the Green Chamber of the National Assembly for a 2nd term.
Abejide is also the National Coordinator and Convener of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Confluence Campaign Organisation ACCO23 and has been working round the clock to mobilize support for Tinubu ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He urged Kogites to back a Tinubu Presidency, saying it was in Kogi’s economic interest.
“While we are aware that so much more is left to be achieved, I assure Kogites that a Tinubu Presidency will attract more development to the Confluence State if voted in as President in the 2023 Elections,” Abejide said.
He described Tinubu as his mentor “who has all it takes to turn around the fortunes of Nigeria, just as he did for Lagos State.”
