Kogi Guber : FCT Minister begs Buhari to consider Senator Smart Adeyemi as APC consensus candidate

From Emmanuel Adeyemi,
Lokoja

Minister for the Federal Capital Territory Alhaji Mohamed Bello has appealed to president Muhammadu Buhari to allow the ruling party field Senator Smart Adeyemi as the flag bearer of the party for the November 11 governorship election in kogi state saying Adeyemi is a man of diligence and impeccable character with a zest for selfless service

The Minister who led a delegation of Christians and Muslims leaders including FCT stakeholders to the A*o Villa to felicitate with the president on Christmas day said Senator Adeyemi having served as a three term Senator has the requisite experience, capabilities and acceptability to make the APC win the governorship election

The Minister who described Senator Smart Adeyemi as a very patriotic party faithful who has contributed so much for the growth of the party praised president Buhari for allowing power to shift to the South preceding the completion of his tenure by May 2023 and urged the president to allow the same thing to happen in Kogi State.

The Minister recalled that since the creation of kogi state 32 years ago, the Eastern senatorial district of the state has produced three governors at various times which spanned for 24 years and the central axis of the state also produced a governor who will be completing his two term tenure of 8 years while the western senatorial district where Adeyemi hails from has never produced any governor.

He said Adeyemi who is the current senate committee chairman on FCT has served in that capacity for two terms and has been one of the brains behind the development of the federal capital territory and described him as a honest politician and a team player, that if given the opportunity, he is well loved by his people and well acceptable to all the segments of the state.

In his speech on the occasion,Senator smart Adeyemi commended president Muhammadu Buhari
for being a father to all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and religion and stressed that his administration in the last seven years has made some drastic transformations in some areas of our national life

He specifically commended the president for the peaceful conduct of the APC presidential primary elections which brought Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Shettima Kashim and described them as the best team that will govern Nigeria due to their track records of service and personal integrity

He also commended the Northern governors for conceding power to the southern states to produce the candidate of APC for the presidential election and said for fairness, equity and justice the same thing should be done for kogi west to produce the next governor which has not produced a governor since the creation of the state over 32 years ago.
Responding, President Muhammadu Buhari thanked the delegation for the honour accorded him and promised to leave a lasting legacy even as he specifically praised the FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello and Senator Smart Adeyemi for their diligence and patriotism to the service of the nation.

The Inspiring Love Story of a Mad Couple Who are Married for 22 Years with 3 Children

THE MAD COUPLE IN MY VILLAGE

Samade was a graduate of applied physics from Nigerian university, Nsukka before he ran mad. Samade was a fan of every villager for his abilities and talents. Abilities and talents madness could not sn**ch away from him. His dancing steps and melodious voice cannot be ignored by passersby. He sings and dances without musical instruments yet those who listened and watched him wished he was not mad for the ecstasy he gave to them.

His love life and marriage to Cynthia, another mad woman in the village was an envy of many couples. Samade and Cynthia had lived together in a self built self-contained under the popular bridge at Orile junction for 22 years. There were several times the villagers saw them quarreling but no one knew how they settled their differences.

Unfortunately Samade and Cynthia do not speak the same language. While Samade was from my village, Cynthia was from the Eastern part of the country. They lived together for 22 years without a long separation.

How they consented to live as couple and had 3 children is a riddle no one is yet to solve. They lived under same roof in quote, they had no source of income other than begging, they have no common sense, lacked counselors, never attended marriage classes, yet they lived together for 22years uninterrupted.

Samade and Cynthia were the Romeo and Juliet of their world, a perfect match to a fault. Mad but proud of each other and their union. They were seen severally kissing, hugging, caressing and sharing romantic moments together in the village.

They shared all things in common, they bathed together, played together, ate together, entertained their guests together, fought together, smiled together etc. Samade and Cynthia were an epitome of uncoordinated romantic folks. If they were not mad, they would have won the best couple of the year's award.

The lesson in Samade and Cynthia's romantic story is this; "If the insane can sustain a romantic relationship, the sane should be able to do better". Unfortunately, most sane couples with common sense cannot stay together as husband and wife for 10 years without divorce or separation. Yet they have access to the good things of life. They have good shelter, good food, sound education, spiritual helps, finance etc.

The story of this mad couple inspired me when growing up in the village as a young boy. With this I made a covenant with my maker that I will have an enviable marriage. I told myself when I was 17 that "if a mad man can do it, I can do it better because I am at better advantage".

Unfortunately, Samade died on 24th July 20... and Cynthia died too on 3rd September of the same year of depression and loneliness. Their children were adopted by 3 different families whose lives were inspired by the romantic life of the mad couple.

They were mad together
They lived together
They died together.
