It is glaring now and conspicuous too to everyone that the illuminating star from the East has taken over, shinning towards removing the cast shadow of darkness and retrogression suddenly grafted on the state by insensitive and clueless leader.
It is also clear the destination of the political moving train so packed full with supporters and followers who have decided to take their destiny in their own hands by doing the needful.
It is said that a golden fish has no hidden place, so is a leader with natural endowment who is backed up by God.
Muri has these enabling qualities, capacity, capability and humility so designed and grafted in this handsome, petit man destined to rescue the state from poverty and paucity that characterized the state about eight years ago.
This sordid manifestation has become the compelling catalyst that has continued to attract and marshalling the people towards him, now made known and christened as “Muri Movement.
Right from the very time the Chief GY Aduku’s Committee came out with its findings it was obvious that the committee did not only do its assignment thoughtfully and thoroughly but it was patriotically concerned about the future of the state.
You can now see the rich wisdom of the old displayed.
You can refer to the committee’s arrival at chosing and consequent adoption of the Social Democratic Party governorship candidate, Muri, as an informed outcome of their empirical analysis.
Wherever he goes on consultations and subsequent campaign arenas have become exceedingly desirous judging from the expected unprecedented crowd that always grace the occasion.
Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka is unequivocally that star and the golden fish.
He is the Social Democratic Party(SDP) flag bearer in the off-season November 11, 2023, governorship election in Kogi State.
And there is no denying the fact that he is incontrovertibly the most qualified, most acceptable, most humble, popular and consensus candidate whose humility is profoundly outstanding.
The level at which other political party members are declaring their support for the star from the east is glaringly awesome..
He has struck a freak and streak coasting tremendous break-through that will eventually ensure his overwhelming victory.
It is unarguably the most sought for candidate as far as the governorship election is concerned in Kogi State comes November 11.
The opening sesame catalogue has continued to favour him in his new phase of political adventurism . It is a new phase in the political lexicons that is making wave.
Suffice to say that this new phase has become a political tsunami given to its contagious trend sweeping across the length and breadth of the state.
Any direction, any community in the three Senatorial districts of the state the wind of change is realy blowing across.
It is unprecedented and highly contagious. What informed this attractiveness and acceptability cannot be detached from his natural endowment and his evolutionary political prowess. His resolved to visit and honouring leaders, critical stakeholders, traditional rulers, elders, leaders of thought, youth, widows and orphans, the less privileged among others in their houses, villages, on the streets, even on farms, a trade neglected by politicians in the past. Neither had maverick political bulldozers like late Abubakar Audu, late Steve Achema, late A. T. Ahmed nor the political gladiator of Mopa, late Sunday Awoniyi had thought of this flavoured winning strategies.
No one had considered it as consequential.
May be an inconsequential factor at their time you would say. But this has reputed Ajaka as a new breed politician who has adopted his own uniqueness; a new brand political filament that is yielding positive dividends.
As a result, those who had not reckoned with him in the past have now realized that they had made a monumental mistake.
In his uniqueness, tombs of political leaders have become
pilgrimage of a sort, where prayers were offered for their reposed souls.
What an honour for the dead! Dead religious leaders as well as those that are alive were not left out in his humility exemplification.
This is a streak never exploited in the political resolutions. This is a step up that is not only flourishing but busting his winning streak.
It is obvious even the dead will be sympathetic to his cause while his humility seeking the face of God is a manifestation that the project has the backing of the Almighty.
Traditional rulers were on hands to receive him in their palaces where they gave him their fatherly blessings.
Their impact of wisdom to him was a source of encouragement.
This political dynamism has changed outrightly the initial perception and misgivings which may had beclouded the people hitherto sense of judgement.
But now that the cloud cleared and the pitfalls removed, political heavy weights have resolved and have declared their support for Muri.
Those that have thought it wise and expedient too, to support this onerous ambition of all reasonable and patriotic Kogites include the immediate Deputy Governor of the state, Chief Simon Achuba, one time Accountant General of the state, Elder Ubolo Okpanachi, Ambassador Isaac Onuh who were former members of Accord Party (AP)and the Governorship candidate of New Nigeria People’s Party,( NNPP), Alhaji Mubarak Abuche Musa, a former member of Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Simon Atadoga and a Reps member for Ofu/Idah/Igalamela/lbaji Federal Constituency, Napoleon among others.
It is understood that the Governorship candidate of the Accord Party, retired Vice Admiral Jibrin Usman is taking his time and as soon as the coast is clear he will make his intention known as to when he will declare his intention to join the only acceptable and discerning political party moving train whose destination is known and certain.Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka is indeed a revolutionary considered to be a symbol of struggle for good governance and equality of all in the state.
While we await that convulsive support from all and sundry, let’s all do the needful that will ensure victory for the anointed star from the east.
