From Emmanuel Adeyemi, Lokoja
Kogi West Senator Sunday Steve Karimi has declared unequivocally that for the 2027 presidential election, the people of Kogi State have only one option: the re-election of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for a second term.
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, made available to journalists in Lokoja, Senator Karimi said that the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is Kogi’s sole option, stating, “There are no two ways about it.”
While outlining the dividends of democracy that warrant Tinubu’s re-election, Senator Karimi noted that Kogi State has benefited significantly from tangible infrastructural development and human capital investment under the Tinubu administration.

He highlighted that road networks traversing Kogi State from the North, South, East, and West are receiving attention, commensurate with the resources available to the federal government.
“The 614-kilometre Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project, initiated during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020 to drive national socio-economic development, has reached 75 per cent completion under President Tinubu. Kogi State stands to be a major beneficiary of this project when completed and operational,” he said.
“Long-standing requests for the establishment of additional federal universities to expand access to higher education are now receiving accelerated attention from the Tinubu government.
“Furthermore, our people are being recognised and appointed to various departments and agencies, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“Kogi State has suffered in the past from policy inconsistencies and the discontinuation of well-meaning developmental projects, which have set us back by decades. Examples include the stalled dualisation of the Abuja-Lokoja-Okene and Okene-Auchi-Benin roads, as well as the rehabilitation of the Kabba-Isanlu-Egbe-Ilorin road. The Tinubu administration has resumed work on these critical projects, aimed at improving the lives of Kogi State residents and road users nationwide.
“As things stand, the people of Kogi State are not interested in political experimentation or in seeking an alternative president and national leader.
“We have no Plan B — despite such suggestions being floated in some quarters. We will stand firmly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — the leader we know and trust. There will be no wavering, no second-guessing in this commitment. To the doubters: it’s time to smell the coffee,” Senator Karimi stated.
