Describes The Developmental Initiative As Historic<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"\"\" \"\"
\nThe Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, has commended the Leke Abejide Foundation for unprecedented direct community development intervention, describing the \u20a6710 million grant disbursed to 71 communities in Yagbaland as historic and transformational.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Fanwo, each of the beneficiary communities received \u20a610 million to support locally driven development projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a press statement issued yesterday, Fanwo said the initiative clearly demonstrates the deep commitment of the House of Representatives member, Leke Abejide, to grassroots development and people-centred leadership.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe grants will go a long way in helping communities actualise their development plans. When the big masquerade appears, the game changes. This initiative will spark unprecedented development across Yagbaland,\u201d Fanwo said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While describing Abejide as a performing legislator whose results have silenced criticism, the Commissioner added, \u201cLet me seize this opportunity to commend our representative for all he has been doing to bring development to Yagbaland. Politics shouldn\u2019t be about criticism alone. Performance has cancelled criticism. Even his ardent critics have retreated because you cannot fault development and progress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGiving \u20a610 million each to 71 communities at once is something that has never happened in Yagbaland. I urge every beneficiary community to justify this trust by ensuring that the funds are judiciously and transparently utilised,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Commissioner also praised Abejide for matching words with decisive action on security matters in Yagbaland. \u201cA few months ago, he promised massive interventions to secure his people. Just a few days ago, he delivered by rolling out critical security logistics, including patrol vehicles, motorcycles, and other equipment to support security operations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHe went further by engaging additional hunters and strengthening intelligence gathering through the deployment of modern technological tools. This is decisive leadership, and Yagba is grateful,\u201d the Commissioner stated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to him, Abejide\u2019s approach to representation reflects a holistic understanding of governance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how to represent a people. He\u2019s thinking about development. He\u2019s thinking about security. He’s thinking about progress. He has worked closely with the Kogi State Government, offering the necessary cooperation to secure not only Yagbaland but the entire state. When the big masquerade appeared, the game changed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThough he\u2019s not yet in our party, he didn\u2019t politicise the welfare and security of his people. I\u2019ll continue to support him beyond 2027. We do not replace performance. We\u2019ll do everything within our power to ensure that this man emerges as our party\u2019s candidate in 2027,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fanwo urged the people of Yagba to continue to give their support to their Representative, RT. Hon. Leke Abejide, saying the legislator is steadily redefining and resetting representative democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
