Kogi: Why Ebira Group Endorsed Yahaya Bello

The Ebira People’s Association has endorsed Governor Yahaya Bello for a second term in office saying that he has positioned the state on a platform of unimaginable social re-engineering.

The endorsement of the governor was conveyed through a press statement issued by the president-general of the association.

Asserting one of the qualities of Bello, the group said that he has against odds broken down the fabrics of sectionalism in the state with no section of the state including his Ebira clan able to own or possess him.

The statement from the group read in part:

“Alh Yahaya Adoza Bello, (has) within a short period of time has done excellently well in laying a solid foundation for a truly united and peaceful Kogi state of our dream.

“As a young man with an impeccable nationalist credential that is clearly evident in his detribalized personal character and has been proven in his unprecedented high level of plurality management of a complex state like Kogi that is ethno-geographical and religiously diverse in nature.

“This rare leadership quality of our Governor, Alh Yahaya Adoza Bello has created out of Kogi a state that is egalitarian, socially just and fair to all without prejudice to ethno-geographic, religious and clannish background of all Kogites.

“Consequently, the second term aspiration of Governor Bello enjoys tremendous support that cuts across all sections of that state as the peace-loving people of Kogi from the Igala’s to the Bassa Nge’s, the Okun to the Kakanda’s , the Bassa Komo’s to the Oworo’s are determined more than ever before to reward a man under whose watch no one is marginalized or left behind in the affairs of governance.

“An attempt to own Governor Bello by any section of the state including his native Ebira extraction will be repulsive to the spirit and letters of the new united Kogi state that has evolved under his leadership

“As we can’t do it alone, we extend our profound gratitude to the people of Kogi from across all divides and sections for uniting behind the governor as shown in the massive support he enjoys across the state going into the November gubernatorial election.

“In conclusion, we appreciate the efforts of all Kogites at uniting behind Governor at ensuring his philosophy of unity in diversity. There is no greater homage to be paid to a man who has discharged himself as a thoroughly detribalised person than rising above all divisive tendencies of our society to give him a rousing second term. “There is no amount of divisive profanities of a hatchet, mercantile and ignoble writers of circumscribed ethnic tendencies that can set our good people against one another in an affront to the unity and collectivity which Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello has enshrined in our polity.”
