…Sunday Karimi is an analogue representative

A socio-political group, Yagba Youths for Change (YYC) has called on Engineer Bamidele Obiniyi to heed the popular call and join the Yagba House of Representatives race in 2019.

He said Karimi’s laggard attitude has deprived the people of Yagba Constituency the dividends of good representation.

“We have made the mistake of electing a man who has little or no concern for us to the National Assembly. An analog representative who cannot be reached on any social media platforms where constituents can interact with him like others. A representative who does not visit home frequently to interface with his people. How can we relate our concerns to him?”, he asked.

“It is on this note that we and many others that we calling on  Engineer Johnson Bamidele Obiniyi to come to our rescue in Yagba Federal constituency.

“Our decision is hinged on the fact that Engr. Johnson Bamidele Obiniyi has proven his mettle as a leader whose monumental strides have instilled confidence in the minds of the people of Yagba Federal constituency.

“Obiniyi’s philanthropy, successes in his undertakings and careers, humility, brilliance, wisdom, and fame are the reasons why he was initiated and included in various revered traditional ruling cabinet as a title chief. Engineer Obiniyi is the Bashorun of Okeagi in Mopamuro Local Government Area, he is the Akeweje of Bagido Isanlu, and theOluomo of Isanlu Kingdom.

“He is a grassroot man, a leader who is easily accessible, digital and up to date with the yearnings and aspirations of his people. He has shown repeatedly that he is willing to help the less privileged, always. These and more are the reasons why we are pleading with him to come and rescue Yagba Federal constituency come 2019”, he stressed.

The group commended President Mohammadu Buhari for his committed fight against corruption and insecurity which is aimed at preserving Nigeria’s democracy and ensuring that the country remains one indivisible entity.

The group also extended their felicitation to the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello on this year’s democracy day celebration. The group commended Governor Bello for his bold steps in the areas of insecurity, youth empowerment and civil service reform.
