While we await the verdict of the Kogi West Election Tribunal, it will never be out out place to say that this victory will just like the one that was recorded at the poll in the November Election rerun, favour the candidature of the people’s owns choice in the person of very revered and highly distinguished Senator uSmart Adeyemi, CON.
Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who could not wallow the healing pills of All Progressive Congress (APC)’s victory in the last Kogi West Senatorial Election rerun, challenged the people’s choice in voting massively for Sen. Smart Adeyemi under the platform of the All Progressive Congress.
Consequent on the wide margin upon which Sen. Smart Adeyemi floored the embattled and confused the Unpopular former Senator Dino Melaye and his party the Peoples Democratic Party, one can lay hands of facts in the obvious that the people’s mandate lies with Sen. Smart Adeyemi as this is evident in the voting casted in a peaceful and highly commendable serene environment.
Distinguisher Senator Smart Adeyemi has even before the election rerun, showed unwavering uloyalty to the people, the party and to the administration of His
Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the executive governor of Kogi State. This he showed when he came out openly to declare his support for the New Direction Administration and stood firmly even when a good numbers of bigwigs in the State distanced themselves from the Progressive Governor Senator Smart Adeyemi made it crystal clear that with Governor Yahaya Bello, the coast is cleared to match Kogi State forward.
The Judicial System of Nigeria on several occasions, has been hailed for being upright in their verdicts that uphold justice without fear or favour.
A notable instance is the redress of the electoral victory stolen by the embattled Sen. Dino Melaye in the February 2019 election that gave room for the mandate to be rightfully reclaimed by Sen Smart Adeyemi during the November 2019 Kogi West Senatorial Election rerun.
Evidences made available by the challengers of Senator Smart Adeyemi’s electoral victory, have all shot themselves in their legs for the obvious contradicting statements they uttered before the tribunal.
Cases where even Senator Dino Melaye claimed he was on the move during the last election; that is, he was at the every polling units in the last election supervising all electoral activities.
How possible can this claim be as presented by Dino Melaye before the Tribunal?
One can tell that all of the antics of the challengers of the victory of Sen. Smart Adeyemi come with nothing other than lies and deceits as always an an.
However, the confidence reposes in the judicial system, is a better solace that this victory can’t be stolen from the hands of Sen. Smart Adeyemi and the All Progressive Congress.
We are not unaware of the bribery scandals that was established between Sen. Dino Melaye and the then judge that handled they previous case where Senator Smart challenged the dubious victory of Dino Melaye in the 2015 Kogi West Senatorial election where Sen. Smart Adeyemi rode on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party and Dino Melaye on the All Progressive Congress.
Sadly enough, it took almost till infinity before this evil was uncovered. But the confidence we have in the current judicial system, surely leaves us withu assurances that all will surely remain with the Progressives.
Worthy to mention is the fact that Sen. Smart Adeyemi has within the few months in office of this administration, in his usual and magnanimous ways, brought relieves and smiles on the faces of the loving electorates who deemed it fit to return him as their Senator.
He has drilled notable numbers of motorized boreholes to help bring water closer to the people.
He has rolled out millions of naira via disbursements of foodstuffs as palliatives,
distribution of learning materials to the students and the people of Kogi West Senatorial District to help cushion the effects of Covid-19 pandemic.
Victory At The Tribunal for Distinguished Sen. Smart Adeyemi will only be a further justification of his loyalty to the people of Kogi West, Let’s Do More Government and the All Progressive Congress.
