By Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin
A foremost sociocultural association in Kogi State, De-Greater Height Club Lokoja, has called for peace and tranquillity in Ebiraland ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The association made the appeal in a press statement jointly signed by its President and Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Ibrahim Isa-Amoka and Comrade Counsel Bello Omeiza, respectively.
The association urged political gladiators to conduct their political activities with utmost civility, decorum and maturity, while respecting the individual choices and preferences of candidates by their supporters.

It also advised politicians and their followers to eschew the politics of bitterness and embrace the centripetal philosophy of the late political icon, Ibrahim Waziri, popularly known as the “Politics of Brotherhood.”
Specifically, the association called on the youths of Ebiraland to channel their energy and political involvement towards positive engagements that would benefit them both now and in the future, rather than allowing themselves to be used and abandoned after elections.
“You are the future of tomorrow. Do not allow yourselves to be used as instruments of violence, thuggery and agents of destruction against your own land. Do not sell your future for a peanut and a bottle of wine,” the association warned.
The club further appealed to winners of the elections to be magnanimous in victory, while those who lose should be gracious in defeat to ensure that peace prevails and the much-desired progress and development of Ebiraland are achieved.
“Politics will come and go, but Ebiraland remains. Let us not destroy our common heritage because of temporary political interests. Rather, we must protect the time-honoured values of our land, such as respect, hard work, forthrightness and hospitality,” the association advised.
The association reiterated the need for all stakeholders, particularly political leaders and youths, to place the collective interest of Ebiraland above personal and partisan considerations in order to sustain peaceful coexistence, unity and development across the land.
