In the intricate landscape of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu politics, a shocking tale of betrayal and deceit has unfolded. Prince Kolawole Mathew, the former Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, has been unfairly targeted by party insiders.
Despite his widespread popularity, Kolawole’s bid for the House of Representatives seat in Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu federal constituency was sabotaged by a conspiracy involving cancelled votes in his stronghold and a deliberate smear campaign by some APC inner leaders. But the persecution doesn’t stop there.
These individuals continue to conspire against Kolawole, spreading falsehoods and propaganda to tarnish his reputation and undermine his influence. It’s essential to set the record straight: this isn’t about dragging anyone’s reputation through the mud, but to expose their gimmicks to bring Kolawole down politically.
Kolawole isn’t seeking political power at present; instead, he remains dedicated to empowering his people. His selfless commitment to sustaining empowerment programs and activities, without any ulterior motives, distinguishes him from other politicians and demonstrates his genuine interest in the welfare of his constituents.
We urge those behind these malicious schemes to redirect their energy towards empowering the people and delivering the dividends of democracy. It’s time to prioritize the needs of the constituents over selfish political interests.
Recent rumors about Kolawole holding meetings with elected legislator from Yagba federal constituency and others are nothing but fabrications aimed at creating incitement and instigations. We urge the public to see through these deceitful tactics and stand up against these unscrupulous politicians who are only out to divide us to have their political ways.
Moreover, Kolawole remains committed and loyal to the fullest to the government of Alhaji Usman Ododo and will continually be loyal to APC under the total leadership of Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, come rain or shine. His loyalty and dedication to the party and its leadership are unwavering.
We urge the public to stand with Kolawole and support his selfless endeavours. Together, we can create a better future.
