Addressing journalists at a press conference held in Lokoja, Convener of the group,Comrade Isiaka Suleiman,said it has become imperative to support the lawmaker on his efforts in fighting injustice and political manipulation by certain section of Kogi state.
Sulaiman said the position taken by Adeyemi is devoid of personal interest,hence the need to support him for the interest of peace,unity, equity fairness and justice.
The speech reads in part:
“This press conference is necessitated by the recent happenings in our dear Kogi State, every decent society is built on the principles of equalities and collective participations in leadership and development.
The position of Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON) is devoid of personal interest and self – gratification rather it is structured upon his usual desire and support for Justice, equity and fairness among the three senatorial districts of Kogi State.
Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi have never shown desperation in course of his political progression like other politicians who will have rushed to pick – up ticket in another political party considering his political strength, fellowership and acceptance across the three senatorial district but he choose to stand on the path of truth and justice. History will not forget his sacrifice and he stands in the course of libration of Kogi Western Senatorial district.
In line with this background and the current calculated and satanic attempt to malign the person of Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON) and put him in the bad light must be seen as an attack of evil against good and most be resisted by well meaning kogites that stand for truth, equity and justice.
Kogi West as a senatorial District that has supported and assisted the two other Senatorial district to produce a Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, Captain Ichala Wada All of Kogi Eastern Senatorial District and Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello of Kogi Central, it is not out of place for Kogi Western Senatorial District to ask for her turn in the spirit of fairness and oneness.
We hereby pass a vote of confidence on the very distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi and call on all Kogi West Senatorial Political leaders, opinion moulders and the general people to come together to actualise this great dream.
In the end we shall be able to identify the friends and foes of Kogi West Senatorial District.
God bless you all”
