Individual initiatives, competence, capabilities and level of reasoning make people what they are. As they put in their best in whatever endeavour they under take, they leave no stone unturned and therefore became achievers in life within a short period of time.
They look far into their future as they lay sound foundation and work toward the realization of their ambitious and goals.
Dedication, self-control and self-comportment are the watch words of such individuals,whether as a polician or an academian .
They are principled, determine and unassuming. So many of them are available in every segment of our society but only vary few of them are identifiable.
Those identified could be due to their individual immense contributions to their societies, especially in the field of their profession
At every point in time and at any critical moment, they are conspicuously ready to offer solution to the situations at hand and, definitely their efforts always pay off
There are people who are influenced by spirit of patriotism and can relate with any Nigerian irrespective of religion,tribe or polical background. Such people are dutiful, resourceful, creative and result oriented. Such people are respected in their immediate constituent and the state at large.
.
Among such Nigerians in this generation is Hon.( Barr.) Shaba Ibrahim member Representing Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency.
Barr. Shaba is being regarded by many as a highly intelligent and hardworking gentleman who loves challenges which he has always faced with boldness and conquered with ease,a clear example abound in how he challenged the acclaimed winner of Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency APC candidate to Federal House of Representatives, Alhaji Abdulkareem Wambai in court and emerged victorious.
The vibrant lawyer has a pedigree of excellent achievements in the realms of intellectualism, high quality political participation and law business.
Shaba was adjudged by his teaming followers across the constituent to be a simple man who never lived a flamboyant and materialistic life.
According to Gowon Yakubu,one of the lawmaker’s media aide, described Shaba as “honest brilliant whose always concerned is the socio-economic transformation of ordinary man,”
He said the lawnmaker believes in empowering artisans to acquire more skills as well as giving them take off grants to enable them establish fully to attain financial independence.
As a lawyer and human right activist these noble qualities have not only endeared him to a lot of Kogites and the people his constituent, but has become sources of inspirations to most of his political associates within and out side Kogi state.
The good work Shaba is doing since he assumed office has attracted member of the ruling party (APC) recognition to the extent of becoming a subject of discussions in Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency.
Is there any wonder therefore that an Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency democracy mobilization campaign fascinatingly describe him as a fighter and a winner in the struggle to institutionalizing impressive politics in Lokoja /Kogi Federal Constituency after the demised of Rt Hon. Umar Buba Jibril,of blessed memory?
Shaba public life has been driven by the desire to better the lot of the society. His work is to engender a society where the wealthy and strong are protected as well as guarantee a system where the weak can find peace and encouragement to excel in their endeavours.
The lawmaker’s closed associates attest to these quality of truth, fairness, equity, justice and common goods.
To be precise, ones attention about Hon Shaba Ibrahim’s lies in the way he embraces and invest heavily in young people immediately he assumed office.
To be honest, most of our politicians use youth as pawns for achieving political interest and sorrowfully relegated them to the back grounds after winning their elections. But amazingly this trend that has been normalized in our politics is an alien to Shaba Ibrahim political philosophy
The common trend is if you want to be part of Shaba political ideology go to school.instead of thugery or ‘No Future Plan(NFP) Politics
The man Hon Shaba Ibrahim is a man of high integrity. His words is his honour.
He is fearless in the face of intimidation and threat to personal safety. His mission has been and still the defense of the superiority of the law and the social contact for public good, public treasury entrusted to his watch .
It is our prayer always that these revolutionary changes will renew your effort toward fast tracking democratic dividends to the vibrant,well informed people of Lokoja/ Kogi Federal Constituency.
To be Continued
