Dear Friends and Young Leaders of Kogi West,
It is with great joy that I, Abdulganiyu Abdullahi, accept the invitation to join you at the upcoming youth‑focused programme organized by the young politicians of our beloved region. Your enthusiasm to speak with one voice and to rally our community behind a common purpose fills my heart with hope.
In a time when the future of Kogi West depends on the energy, commitment and unity of its youth, we must remember that strength lies in solidarity. The examples set by our seasoned leaders—Senator Sunday Karimi, Hon. Leke Abejide and Hon. Emma Obaro—are a testament to what can be achieved when public servants work hand‑in‑hand with the people they serve. These gentlemen have demonstrated, day after day, that politics is not a battlefield but a platform for service; they have shown humility, dedication and a genuine desire to uplift every corner of our community.
We can build a robust political structure in Kogi West only if we, the youth, stand together, speak as one, and support our leaders with prayers, encouragement and active participation. Let us learn from the trio’s collaborative spirit: they have never allowed division to hinder progress, and they continue to labor night and day for the betterment of our people.
To the young men and women who hold public appointments or aspire to serve, I say this: engage the youth, listen to their ideas, and create opportunities for seminars and workshops that equip them with the skills they need. Let us be the generation that bridges the gap between government and the grassroots, turning promises into tangible results.
Together, we can forge a brighter future for Kogi West—one where security, empowerment and development are not just slogans but lived realities. I look forward to sharing this vision with you, praying for you, and walking alongside you every step of the way.
Thank you for the warm invitation. Let us continue to speak with one voice, uplift one another, and build a community that honors the sacrifices of those who have paved the way.
With respect and hope,
Abdulganiyu Abdullahi
North Youth Advocacy for Development.
