Let's exchange governors, Kogites tell Taraba
citizens..
For paying up salary arrears and getting set to
settle pensions backlogs, some kogi state
indigenes have said they would prefer Governor
Darius Ishaku as their state's governor. A source
told KWARARAFA REPORTERS that some indigenes
recently joked about the need to have a proactive
leader. The state, if it were constitutionally
possible, they would like to switch governors with
Taraba state.
Governor Ishaku's ratings recently shot up when
the Sarduana local government crisis broke out.
Even his critics now admire his populist stance,
especially his bold confrontation of the so called
cabal from Abuja. Ishaku reportedly told some
powerful people that it appears they took side in
the fracas. The governor too has continue to tell
the nation that he is father to all and that all lives
matter to him. He had questioned the sincerity of
the Federal Government whom he said did not
respond to his earlier call for reinforcements when
Fulani attacked some ethnic nationalities in the
state. The FG however was very swift when Fulani
cried out that they were at the receiving end of a
crisis. The governor have since moved to restore
peace and stability.
His rating also got good with his introduction of
the anti open grazing bill. The bill, which has gone
through all the process of law making, is generally
seen as acceptable to majority of Taraba people.
Alth
He also paid up all outstanding salaries and is
dealing with backlogs at the local governments
level.
Some Kogi residents who spoke with KR worry that
their government is owing many months of
salaries.
