THE Special Adviser to the
Governor of Kogi State on Public Communications and Strategy, Mr.
Phrank Shaibu, has given insight into the consequences of engaging
Governor Ibrahim Idris at Gubernatorial Election Tribunal since
April 14 election, 2007.
Speaking to The Graphic shortly after the election of Governor
Ibrahim Idris was upheld by Justice Abdullahi-led Tribunal that sat
in High Court Complex, Lokoja, the spokesman of the Chief Executive
of the State said, “Governor Idris is human, the frequency of
engaging him at Election Tribunals by a man who is supposed to be
his brother, is distractive and detrimental to the drive to
fast-track the development of the state.”
Mr. Shaibu argued that only a superhuman would not be distracted and
still concentrate on development, stressing that even as Governor
Idris has landmark achievements, the distraction caused by Audu had
from time to time, slowed down the speed at which the incumbent
intends to fast-track development.
He, however, expressed joy that the victory had “liberated the
people of Kogi State from shackles of slavery, poverty and
dehumanization” which they were hitherto subjected to.
He maintained that “the sweetest part of the victory was that the
Governor won the case on the five grounds that were determined,”
stressing that “the preponderance of blackmail and lying preceding
the ruling have been reduced to “shameful falsehood.”
Gleefully celebrating the victory, the media spokesman stated, “we
are armed with a judgement that has given the government the impetus
to continue to churn out the dividends of democracy in unprecedented
quantum.”
The media aide who was characteristically blunt said, “we have just
got the triumph of humility over tyranny. The Governor will go to
work with drive and speed.
