The former Nigeria Football Federation, NFF boss, said the his administration would initiate policies and programmes to stimulate economic development, through establishment of functional industries and enthronement of credible governance.
The governorship aspirant said he would rehabilitate the education, health, agricultural and civil service sectors to ensure improved service delivery.
According to him, “ my government will strive to restore lost hope, recreate and reinvent Kogi to meet the dreams and aspirations for which the founding fathers fought for its creation.

“This is not the Kogi that late Senator A. T. Ahmed, Chief S. B. Owoniyi and other founding fathers fought for.
