As we reflect on the just concluded elections, it is important to highlight the critical role played by Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman. Dr. Ogbo's leadership and impact on his community has been nothing short of remarkable. He is a man who truly embodies the values of good governance, empathy, and service to the people.

When Dr. Ogbo campaigned tirelessly for the re-election bid of Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello, his message was simple: Governor Bello listens to us, and if we work for his re-election, we will be in a position to demand a role in governance. Dr. Ogbo promised to create job opportunities for the people of Ankpa, and he has kept his word.

Since then, Dr. Ogbo has continued to serve as a champion for the people of Ankpa and Kogi State at large. His sterling performance, unending attribution of his successes to the governor and all those who helped him throughout his life (which shows how grateful he is), facilitating employment opportunities for youths, and philanthropy have endeared him to the people and brought many closer to government.

Dr. Ogbo's leadership skills and inclusive approach to governance have been critical to his success. He understands that leadership is not about dictating from above, but about listening to the people and working together to achieve common goals. By being closer to the people, humble, good, kind, and performing excellently, he has gained the trust and respect of the people in Ankpa and beyond.

In the just concluded elections, Dr. Ogbo's influence was felt more than ever before. Though he was not on the ballot, he played a crucial role in gathering support for the candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ankpa and beyond. He rallied his community behind the APC, and his efforts paid off as the party recorded significant gains in the area.

Dr. Ogbo's impact on the elections is a testament to the power of good governance and effective leadership. By prioritizing the needs of the people and working tirelessly to meet them, he has earned their trust and become a beacon of hope for many. His achievements in Kogi State Polytechnic serve as a model for other leaders to emulate, and we can only hope that his legacy will inspire many more like him to serve the people with dedication and humility.

Dr. Salisu Ogbo Usman: A quintessential leader who cares enough to put others first

 

The good  people of Ankpa recently witnessed an outstanding story of selflessness and service to the community, and it revolved around Dr Salisu Ogbo Usman, who recently gave his best and put himself in a position to benefit his people in the area.

Dr. Usman is an exemplary leader, who has done considerable work in the community and is respected for his commitment to give back to the society. 

He recently delivered the four polling units around his community for the All Progress Congress (APC). This move was lauded for its positive impact in the community and showed his dedication to ensuring a better future for everyone living in Kogi State.

The work Dr. Usman did to make sure his people voted for the APC in the election is commendable. He worked day and night to ensure that he was able to gain the trust of the people and earn their votes. 

He organized meetings, participated in debates and had rallies to discuss the importance of voting. 

The OmaOja Ata Igala also took charge of the ‘get-out-the vote’ drive, where he juggled his resources and skills to ensure that all the eligible voters in his community go out and cast their votes in the election.

Dr. Usman's work indicates that leaders should not just be focused on personal gains but should also keep in mind the interest of the people they serve. 

His story is a lesson to both leaders and the general public that when given the platform to serve the people, people should always give the best of themselves. It is important to always serve the people in order to be served when needed.

His story also serves as an example of what happens when someone cares enough to put others first. 

We need more leaders just like Dr. Usman - kind-hearted and God-fearing human beings - in the political arena in Kogi State. 

When you do good, you don't need to struggle for good in return. God bless sir. Kooloo!
