MAKING OUR CRITICISM EFFECTIVE

In as much as many still feel aggrieved with the way Wada came as Governor of Kogi State. It is quite obvious that Wada will be in charge for a very  long time to come, if his opponent really understand politics.

Be that as it may, it is not possible for the  leader of Government to be everywhere at the same time.  For us as citizen of Kogi state within or leaving  outside kogi state to reap the dividence of democracy as envisage by Wada, we must shun any kind of grudges against him as a person but encourage him to succeed .Many of our  followers will be surprised at our latest posture, but this is borne out of the need to recreate a new kogi state which can only succeed through collaborative effort.

In trying to satisfy the aspiration of Kogians Capt. Wada appointed twenty one Commissioners with each Local Government  having one. There was also the appointment of thirty two Special Advisers . The Commissioners and Special Adviser are supposed to be his assistants, who must educate him on the true situation on ground in the state thereby representing their communities effectively.

The commissioners should be men and women of integrity, people who can hold their own at any time, people who can stand their ground  while telling the Governor the truth as they perceive it, but then one begins to wonder when you see this group of people celebrating their appointment with parties and thanks giving that God has finally blessed them.

The point then, is, the Commissioners and Special Advisers should be our focus if governance begins to fail, as there are the ones directly in charge of the ministries, and all that makes the state work. No commissioner or Adviser should be heard to complain of lack of funds. They should be able to pull out of such government that is unable to meet the needs of the people so as to expose the inadequacies of the Governor. It is either they resign or be termed collaborators of misrule.

On the part of the masses who are the final beneficiary of  good  governance or victims of misrule it is  your duty to continue to react to any form of bad governance for on one will do it on your behalf.

For the Governor we advise him to read wide so as to discover the magic wind which other world renowned used in bettering the lot of their people. The Governor should see criticism as an attempt to  assist him succeed.

Once more commissioners and Special advisers must note that hence forth the search light will be on them and they must attempt to be above board.

The Governor is  human and not a magician.
