BY ABUBAKAR YUSUF
The emergence of Rt Hon Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali, member representing Ankpa/Omala/ Olamaboro federal constituency of kogi state under the All Progressives Congress, APC who serves as Deputy House Leader , House of Representatives in the 10th Assembly is obviously a reward for hardwork and continuity.
For Rt Hon Ali, he has come, seen and conquered and obviously pay back time is around the corner from Ankpa federal constituency, under the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Aside pay back time and the high time to appreciate good governance, this is also an opportunity for the good people of the area and kogi state to produce a potential House of Representatives leader at any given capacity in the 11th Assembly.
For Halims , he is already positioned for any principal officers job ranging from the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker , Majority leader as the case may be in the next dispensation.
Therefore, the onus and choice of more advancement , development, job creation and more infrastructural development lies in the electorates of Ankpa federal constituency to return Rt Hon Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali to the green chamber.
For Halims , the three posh jobs in the green chamber will no doubt create more opportunities to uplift his constituents in line with his desire and zeal to continue to serve his people.
No doubt, his giant strides in the last three and half years in the 10th Assembly has become a pride of even the opposition elements, who now believes that “the taste of the pudden is in the eating ” .
Halims has proved nay sayers from his early days in the House of Representatives as Chairman, House committee on steel development, before the current position of Deputy House leader of the House of Representatives.
The position that made him the governor of the Federal constituency through provision of empowerment outlets, employment opportunities, capacity building, series of trainings, grants along with self sustenance programs that has turned the people of the area self reliant.
The essence of politics is all round development, the achievements which he had tripled through numerous health, education, social services, adequate representation at the plenary, oversights, among many others .
These positive developments should not be wished away at the alter of dirty politics, as the ranking advantage and experience had already placed him at vantage position.
With Rt Hon Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali , we hope for more development in Ankpa federal constituency, kogi east and kogi state at large .
