fathoming About an erudite and a proficient personality like Pharm. Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku, a man birthed with unequal and unmatched characteristic becomes imperative.

The philosophy of this humble soul can’t be overemphasized as he had proved exceptionality in all spheres of his life. His humility, respect and untainted love for the destitute remains the totem of how I drew my conclusions about him.

A clear definition of an Enigma of hope is here! Pharm. Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku is an indomitable and enterprising figure to recon with in the political evolution of Kogi State..

He’s an embodiment of vitality, akin with impeccable character. He’s indeed a factual proof of knowledge and wisdom. The dynasty of his trait is Beacon on genuine concern in entrenching normalcy and maligning retrogressions, and this had actually been his watchword from inception.

As I clamour for continuity of youth in Lugard House, I want to briefly draw our mind to historical facts about some celebrated world legends that has made our history Book.

History is replete with the story of young people who changed the cause of their time. William Wilberforce, an English politician, was the leader of the movement which abolished slave trade. He started his political career at the age of 21years in 1780 and headed the Parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty-six years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act in 1807.

Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president was a young lawyer who became an anti-apartheid revolutionary politician, at a young age. His activities led to the eventual dismantling of apartheid in South Africa.

In religion, politics and activism, Mary Slessor, a young Scottish Missionary, promoted women’s rights and eventually succeeded in stopping the killing of twins in Calabar.

Young Florence Nightingale, a
British Social reformer, was a nurse during the Crimean War and later became the founder of
modern nursing. These are just a few examples of what youths can do.

The recent of those collections is our very own pacesetter, leader, mentor and father of Kogi politics, His Excellency Alh Yahaya Bello. The man who change the dynamics of Kogi politics and the break the jinx of disunity, political instability and social imbalance amongst the ethno-tribal affiliations in the state.

Considering the highlighted areas, it is most suitable and promising for a youth-Like breed to continue holding the baton of leadership, And it can only be ASUKU. He epitomizes all it takes to lead and to lead right; And apparently, Majority of Kogites are pleased with his style of leadership.

Fast forward to the primary election of our great party, I Implore the party hierachy, the delegates and every other relevant stakeholders to prioritize the prosperity of state above every other interest by giving us Pharm. Abdulkareem Jamiu Asuku.

God has bountiful ways of paying good deeds and I believe he won’t forsake him. Continue waxing stronger in the spirit of determination and courage. I’m optimistic of a smooth landing of his political trajectory by being sworn in as the next Executive Governor of Kogi State come January 27th, 2024.
