The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Sunday Steve Karimi has urged the people of the state to support the re-election bid of president Asiwaju Bola Ahmed in 2027.

Senator Karim disclosed this in Lokoja to newsmen on Wednesday, saying , the people of the State have no option but throw their weight behind him, considering the dividends received under his watch.

Explaining, ,Senator Karimi stated that the State has benefited significantly from tangible infrastructural development and human capital investment under President Tinubu administration in his first term in the office.

He noted that road networks traversing Kogi State from the North, South, East, and West are receiving attention, in accordance with the resources available to the federal government.

Senator Karimi said : The 614-kilometre Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project, initiated during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, in 2020 to drive national socio-economic development, has reached 75 per cent completion under President Tinubu. Kogi State stands to be a major beneficiary of this project when completed and operational.

“Furthermore, our people are being recognised and appointed to various departments and agencies, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to national development.

“Kogi State has suffered in the past from policy inconsistencies and the discontinuation of well-meaning developmental projects, which have set us back by decades.

“Examples include the stalled dualisation of the Abuja-Lokoja-Okene and Okene–Auchi-Benin roads, as well as the rehabilitation of the Kabba–Isanlu-Egbe-Ilorin road.

“The Tinubu administration has resumed work on these critical projects, aimed at improving the lives of Kogi State residents and road users nationwide.
