The governor Kogi needs

SIR: The challenges facing Kogi State have been a source of concern for the people since its creation in 1991.

The state ranks as one of the most backward in terms of human development and critical infrastructure, hence the state needs a vibrant, visionary, focused, articulate and dynamic person to take it to optimal level of development.

Alhaji Suleiman Baba Ali, a one-time Health Commissioner under the administration of Abubakar Audu, is one man that has the ability and vision to make Kogi realise its full potential and be reckoned with in the scheme of things politically, economically and socially.

He will bring his wealth of experience in private sector to ensure Kogi makes a giant stride to the delight of the people.

He has been a man with grassroots support, a detribalized person, astute politician who has the interest of the entire state at heart, to make the state one of the best in the country.His coming at this time is a welcome development.

His success will add value to governance in the state.

We hope the candidature of Baba Ali would become reality by emerging as the next occupant of Lugard House.
