PROGRESS OVER POLITICAL DISTRACTIONS: MOPA PEOPLE ARE NOT AGAINST ELDER LEKE ABEJIDE.
Being a media briefing by the Mopa Likeminds Initiative held on 5th February 2025.
Dear Gentlemen of the press and fellow compatriots.
It is important to put the record in proper perspective in the ongoing misconstrued beliefs that the people of the community are resolute to be against Elder Leke Abejide, Member House of Representative, representing Yagba Federal Constituency.
This belief had/is affecting the entire community on the scale of priority, unlike the gains accessed by some neighbouring communities.
We, as people of likeminds in the community wish to state categorically that we are unequivocally in support of Elder Leke Abejide’s programmes and projects tailored towards the advancement of our community and Yagba Federal Constituency in general.
The subsisting mandate given to Elder Leke Abejide by the entire people is a confirmation of his acceptability, and the Mopa likeminds join other well-meaning Yagba people in accessing the gains of same.
Our message is further predicated on the need for Elder Leke Abejide to see and give consideration to the need for more dividend of democracy largely to the benefit of our people, especially in the following sectors.
1. Employment Opportunities
2. Social Amenities.
3. Roads Infrastructure
4. Support for the enhancement of Mopa security
There are other sectors cum; request but these takes the front seat!!!
On a separate note, we are not unaware of the agitation of some people within our local government clamouring to stop the third term bid of Elder Leke Abejide.
This is to clearly state that those agitating has the right to agitate same way the constitution allows Elder Leke Abejide to contest for additional term in office. This is not supposed to be a matter of/for debate because the people will eventually decide through their votes, and Mopa likeminds are part of the people!
To whom much is given much is expected. 2027 is largely in the hands of God, and to him, we give our submission to his supremacy.
Finally, I enjoin all well-meaning Mopa people to continue to support our Governor Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo FCA and his government. There is no doubt that the Governor is doing well and that the Mopa community is not left behind in the scheme of the developmental strides of government programmes and policies.
God bless Mopa Community and Traditional Institution.
God bless Elder Leke Abejide Member Representative Yagba Federal Constituency.
God bless Mopa likeminds Initiative.
