Eid-el-Kabir: Let Peace Reign In Kogi Hon. Emmanuel Obaro Pleads as he extended his greetings to the Muslim.
The Member representing the people of yagba East at Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Obaro Emmanuel, has urged Yagba East and Kogi state to see peace as one of the major ingredients for democracy to thrive.
Hon. Emmanuel made this known in his Eid-el-Kabir message to the people of Yagba East including residents of Kogi and politicians in the state, which is preparing for the Gubernatorial election.
Hon. Emmanuel, who noted that the yearnings of many well-meaning Nigerians and states were justified, however, added that going about such demands and requests through violent means would not help the citizens and the country.
“We complain about a dwindling economy today, but the truth is that restiveness, banditry, terrorism, kidnappings and general insecurity are some of the major causes.
“It is not difficult to know that no nation can thrive or succeed when it is violence-ridden.
“Just as citizens must begin to live in peace and neighborliness, we, as leaders, must also not nap, we must not sleep on ideas to make the country and the state great.
“We must show perfect examples of love for country and sacrifice to humanity as Islam teaches.
“In Kogi state, we have remained a good example of a working democracy thanks to our hardworking Governor His Excellency Governor Yahaya Bello CON, the leaders and faithful residents.
“Like I said earlier ahead of the Gubernatorial election, it is very important that all parties shun violence.
We must eschew violence; it is not going to do any of us any good and it is not going to do any party any good also.
“We must allow people of the state to decide and choose leaders that will serve their interests for the next four years. So, we must all come together to condemn anything that has to do with violence.
“We must do that, it is important because anything can become the outcome of violent actions. We don’t want that to happen,” Hon. Emmanuel Obaro said as he congratulated Muslims in the state and yagba East for witnessing another holy celebrations.
Signed:
Hon. Emmanuel Obaro, Member representing Yagba East State constituency.
