My fellow esteemed Kogi Central People,
It is with deep sense of humility that I address you today on the recent development as regards the Appeal Court judgement that nullified my election as a Senator representing our Senatorial District. While this outcome may be difficult for many of you who have placed your unwavering trust and belief in my vision/capacity for progress and development, I accept this judgement with complete submission to the will of God! I therefore congratulate the winner.
I understand that this news may come as a disappointment to those who had hoped for my continued service, but in the face of adversity, it is essential that we reflect upon the accomplishments we have achieved during my short but very impactful stay in the Nigerian Senate. Together, we have set records and achieved remarkable feats within the confines of a short time period. Through the introduction of crucial motions and the proposal of impactful bills, our collective efforts have been dedicated to the betterment of Nigeria, Kogi State, and specifically the development of Kogi Central. Our commitment to touching lives through skills acquisitions, medical care, educational empowerment, and various other initiatives has left an indelible mark on our beloved community.
I am truly grateful for the love you have shown me and for the votes you casted in my favor. It is because of your unwavering support and belief in me that I have found the strength and determination to serve you diligently. Although circumstances have led to the end of my time in the Senate, I can unequivocally say that I leave this position with a sense of profound fulfillment and satisfaction. I implore each and every one of you to embrace this spirit of fulfillment, for our journey does not end with a single setback.
In this moment, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to my leader, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, CON for his quintessential leadership, guidance at all times and mentorship. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in my growth and development as a leader. It is through your visionary leadership that we have made significant strides in transforming Kogi state and the Central Senatorial district in particular, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Let us remain united as the strong and steadfast community of people that we have always been. Together, we can overcome any adversity and continue to push for the progress and prosperity of Kogi Central. Our bond transcends any political position or title; it is a testament to our shared values, dreams, and aspirations.
Thank you, dear Kogi Central people, for your unwavering support. While my time in the Senate may have come to a close, my commitment to our community remains steadfast. Together, we will forge ahead, leaving an indomitable legacy for future generations.
Finally, remember the spirit of consolidation and continuity we are currently advocating for. On November 11th, 2023, vote massively for Alh. Ododo Ahmed USMAN to ensure this ideal.
Thank you.
