Lokoja – The member, representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Leke Abejide has donated a 20KVA power generator to the state council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).
The gesture was in fulfilment of Abejide’s earlier promise to donate the power generator for the use of Journalists in the state.
Abejide contested and won election into the House of Representatives in 2019 on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The Chief of Staff to Abejide, Hon. Shola Adebola handed over the power generator and the accompanying documents to the NUJ in Lokoja on Friday.
Adebola said the donation of the power generator was to enable journalists in the state to perform their functions smoothly and effectively.
He assured that Abejide will continue to partner with the media for the development of Yagba Federal Constituency, Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole.
Receiving the donation, the Chairman of the state council of NUJ, Adeiza Momohjimoh charged politicians to always fulfil their promises to Nigerians.
The Chairman commended Abejide for being a man of his words, saying that he has proved to be a man of honour and integrity by his action.
While calling on other politicians in the state to take a cue from the House of Representatives member, Momohjimoh who was visibly elated by the gesture described Abejide as an exceptional politician who has touched the live of the down trodden in his constituency and beyond.
“When Hon. Abejide came to visit us in NUJ some times ago , he discovered that the equipment he donated to NUJ was not put to use so he enquired to know the challenge and I told him that we don’t have a generator that can power the equipment.
“On his own, he promised to give us a generator that will enable us use the equipment effectively.
“Behold , today in fulfilment of the promise, he sent through his Chief of Staff a 20KVA Mikano generator set to Kogi State Council of NUJ.
“What he has done is exceptional , it is not every politicians that will promise and fulfill it, but in his own case all promises he made even to the people of his constituency he has graciously fulfilled the promises.
“These four years of Hon. Abejide, he has done so well that he deserve double promotion and by God grace after his second term , the electorate in Kogi West should give him another mandate to serve at the upper chamber of the national assembly so that he can deliver more dividends of democracy to the people, ” he said.
Momohjimoh assured the donor that the generator will be put to use judiciously so as to serve the purpose it was meant for.
“It is our duty to inform, educate and entertain people and as such we will put the generator into use and we highly appreciated his effort and we will continue to partner with him at all time,” he assured. (vitalnewsngr.com)
