“We must
resolve this New Year to give impetus to our hope, dreams and expectations
which must not be lost,” Adebanji Jimoh
As Kogites join the rest of the world to usher in
the New Year 2016, Mr. Adebanji Jimoh, has advocated unity of purpose among the
citizens as a means to solve the kogi’s problems.
In a Goodwill Message to Kogites, Adebanji said the
problems currently bedeviling the State were mainly man-made and as such would
only take an agreement among the people to resolve to remove the things they
find unacceptable in the society.
Mr. Adebanji, who noted that the state’s problems,
whether economic, social or political, were rooted in ethnic and religious
intolerance, said the panacea lay in the belief by citizens in the Kogite
Project and the resolution to determine the kind of state of our collective
dreams.
“Looking back at all that we went through in the
past year, perhaps, the time has come for us all to take an introspective look
at ourselves in an attempt to get to the root of our problems and challenges.
The truth of the matter is that, whether it is the downturn in the economy or
our worsening security situation, the challenges are traceable to ourselves. We
must build a state and a nation where there is equity, justice and fair
play. Kogi is blessed to be one of the
richest state in Nigeria, and it will take good governance for us to get
there" Banji said.
He pleaded, “That we should all join hands together
to support the incoming government for the betterment of Kogi state. Our hope,
dreams and expectations must not be lost, we must resolve this New Year to
return to ourselves and give impetus to them. To do this successfully, we must
begin to believe in Kogi and the Kogite Project once more. We must start by
defining for ourselves the kind of future that we want. It is only when we
agree on this that we can unite our efforts towards recreating the Kogi of our
collective dreams and make it come true”.
Wishing all Kogites a prosperous New Year 2016, “In
this brand New Year 2016, therefore, please let us continue to work together
and pray for both our country and our dear State for peace, stability and let
us continue to lead from the front in all that is right and worthy in this
country and Continent”, he added.
