Pay no attention to detractors, my pre-occupation is “Kogi project”

Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor, Pharm Abdulkareem Jamiu has urged the general public to not give any attention to detractors of good governance noting that his only pre occupation under the leadership of Governor Yahaya Bello was the “Kogi Project”

He also warned that on no occasion or for whatever reason(s) should anybody respond to malicious or insulting statements from detractors on his person or office, either physically or virtually whether from a known individual(s) or an unknown source.

He said the Office of the Chief of Staff was preoccupied with the unflagging commitment to the achievement of “Kogi Project” which remained the delivery of people-oriented projects that would form legacies for His Excellency, Alh. Yahaya Bello to stand the test of seasons and time.

He said “The proverbial saying that ” he who carries a jar of oil, shies away from the carrier of firewood” is true for the government as sure steps are taken to avoid unnecessary fracas that can only lead to distraction. Hence, the need to always ignore and avoid disparagers”.

The COS stressed that governor Yahaya Bello was ever determined and focused in achieving his set goals of executing and completing projects that would stand Kogi state out amongst other states and as such his Chief of Staff was working assiduously to help ensure the accomplishment of these all important tasks and cannot be distracted.

He urged all to remain iron-cast focused on Project GYB2PYB adding that the way to achieve this was to promote the person and projects of our Leader, Alh. Yahaya Bello. By so doing, we are simply telling Nigerians our Principal has an Indomitable political credentials to lead our nation into prosperity. That should be our one and only focus for now. At the right time everyone will answer his or her father’s name.

“On assumption of Office, the Chief of Staff proceeded on reconciliation visits to mend the broken fences between patriotic Kogites and the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello as directed and supported by His Excellency. We cannot afford to revert to such inglorious era. Anyone who knows Governor Yahaya Bello will attest to his excellent upbringing, respect for all, fairness and a genuine commitment to the unity of our dear state. He is respected today for this indelible virtues.

It is clear, that those who worked woefully, mentoring and cheering people in their errors, and those that have been hellbent on misrepresenting and giving ill-twisted views about Gov. Yahaya Bello in recent past are back online.

During the first tenure, they were tirelessly scornful to important and respectable people via their social media handles (of course that’s the only place they majorly exist).

Despite their falsehoods and antagonistic smear campaigns maliciously calculated to undermine our boss’ goodwill during the last election, his Excellency still emerged victorious against all odds.

However, we shall remain resolute and pay no attention to their venomous intents, but we advise that progressive minds should be wary of them despite the fact that their malicious activities are not in anyway a clog in our progress wheel. We are committed to the developmental agenda of the entire State”

He alluded that Lokoja was currently adjudged to be the second fastest growing city in Nigeria to the adding that More of this was what they were working hard to achieve under GYB.

He admonished that Kogi State was for all and while constructive criticism and well-intentioned advice were welcomed, the government would also be quick to jettison any ill-will that would not be beneficial to Kogi State and her people.
