In any democratic Settings issue of representation at the Upper chamber of the National Assembly has been a thing of so much desire and interest for the People’s conscious of painstakingly assessing their representatives leadership commitment to service delivery.
Towards this end, the conglomerate people of Kogi West never rest on their oars in ensuring their yearnings and aspirations are adequately meet and this is the reason we frown at the ill representation by the former Senator because he is lagging behind in all ramifications.
Smart Adeyemi between 2007 and 2015 the people actually felt the impact of what a senator truly mean which he has replicated since resume to Senate again.
Not like Dino Melaye who never got the Popular mandate but he used undue advantage to foisted himself on the People and he make the Senate a theater of absurdities,i.e vulgarity, childlessness and immaturity, it was a thing of heart rending that the constituency seeks a rescuer from the scorn their representative have thrown the entire race, An outcry of who will save their face from ridicule and political subterfuge was required. Again the lot fell on Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON).
Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi has been Changing the narrative of the past four years while still adhering to a quality representation and human development that the zone yearned for.
A look at senator Adeyemi step so far within just the Short time he resumes to Senate have rekindles the peoples hope for quality representation. The euphoria for meaningful and purposeful delivery of democracy dividends through well focused dialogue has started emitting flames of contentment since Smart Adeyemi was sworn in December 2019.
With his antecedent as an astute community developmental Czar, and philanthropist Per Excellence, their is a strong believe that the erstwhile Nigeria Union Of Journalist ( NUJ) President, Senator Smart Adeyemi’s third term ambition was borne out of genuine desire to rescue Kogi West from ineptitude, bad image and questionable character.
Consciously, Senator Adeyemi immediately after his inauguration brought to for the need to establish Nigeria Rice council in Kogi State as with the Conscious effort of the detrabalised Governor we have Rice Mill Cited at Ejiba which is the Second largest in Northern States. He has also brought out the issue of drawing federal government presence to the state. he has mapped out as priority the conversion of the ABU College of Agriculture, Kabba into a full fledge University awarding degrees. He has introduced a bill towards that effect which has passed the Committee stage and passed. He has promised to vigorously canvassed for the College of Agriculture bill to reached actualization.
During the Pandemic global Scourge Saga he dolled out the first and Second Palliatives Support Scheme, two full trailer of rice and beans worth 31.5 million naira alongside Cash to his constituents and residents to complement the efforts of the federal government and the Kogi state government and this was done irrespective of tribe, religion and Political affiliation and the last festive periods December, April and last Ramadan he extended his gesture to his Constituents.
The Senator has hinted and commenced internal arrangement to ensure the completion of Kabba – Ilorin road, just recently he facilitated the Construction of Ayetoro Kiri-Abugi-Eggon road also Kabba Illorin road to mention but few to ensure all these receive more attention that will make it more economically viable for the benefit of Kogi West in particular, Kogi in general and Nigeria as a whole.
It took the senator little time to rise to the defend of the Tawari people who have unfortunate attack from some militia people that destroyed the community. His visit to the National Emergency Management Authority, NEMA on the community needs brought a quick assessment from the agency who have taken step to addressed their plights earlier this year.
Senator Adeyemi who no doubt is poised to make a difference of Kogi West political representative, as single handedly awarded the construction of motorised boreholes within the senatorial axis. The Senator Operation Water For All which he kick started in Yagba West on Saturday, January 11 was aimed at ensuring that women and children are not left at the mercy of searching for water especially during dry season.
Invariably on his own, he used the December’s and every avenue holiday to hold meetings with critical stakeholders across the senatorial district to seek for more Support for His Excellency, Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello and APC as a party, as well as drumming for collaboration with the electorate so that their will be a concerned effort at turning around the zone in all frontiers of socio -economic development. Kogi West, he has repeatedly claimed must wear a new look and to achieve this, there must be purposeful commitment on the part of the leadership and the led.
At the floor of Senate Distinguished Senator Smart Adeyemi (CON) has Contributed immensely to Critical issues .
Apart from the outstanding manner he has handled all matters affecting his constituency so far, he has also formed a good synergy with the government apparatus to ensure that the constituency’s need are well catered for.
Considering the steps so far initiated and marrying same with his philanthropist antecedent, it will not be out of place to say Kogi West will undergo an aggressive face lift under Distinguished Senator Adeyemi leadership which has Commences.
That he is making frantic efforts to rescue Kogi West ineptitude can no longer be faulted, but his heart felt desire to give the people quality representation.
