AMBASSADOR Yusuf Abubakar, one of the Kogi state’s governorship aspirant in the 2011 election has pledged to end the age long crisis that has ravaged Kogi Central hampering meaningful development in the state.
Abubakar who spoke to news men at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, shortly after his arrival for a reception organised by the Ebira community in Lagos, noted that the absence of jobs for the teeming number of youths and evils perpetuated by greedy politicians were responsible for the unending crisis in the area.
According to him, “from 1999 to date Kogi Central has been engulfed in crisis being fueled by some unscrupulous politicians in the state. The end of a crisis will lead to a bigger crisis and the state has spent so much resources, time, money and energy trying to combat the crisis in the Central”      
To address this ugly trend he said, a School to land programme will be introduced to engage all the youths in the state when elected into office next year.
Abubakar assured that with his knowledge and understanding of Kogi State,the crisis will be absolutely tackled from the grassroots never to occur.
Contesting under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),Abubakar further assured the people of the state especially youths that the era of being sent out of school will be a thing of the past as soon as he was voted into office as school fees will never be hindrance in their quest for knowledge.
