The Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Aliyu Umar has felicitated with the Maigari of Lokoja, HRH Alhaji (Dr) Ibrahim Gambo Kabir Maikarfi IV and the Mayaki of Kupa, HRH Alhaji Pharmacist Dauda Kabir Isah on the occasion of their first anniversary.
This is contained in a Press statement signed and made available to journalists in Lokoja by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Yabagi Mohammed.
Rt Hon Umar thanked the Traditional rulers for the leadership and positive socioeconomic turnaround they have brought to their domains with their unique leadership styles.
The Speaker noted that Lokoja, the host of Kogi State Capital, has seen many positive changes, with the people becoming more united while the past mistrust has given way to more robust relationships among the ethnic groups since the current Maigari took over a year ago.
The same thing, he said, is the characteristics of the Kupa Kingdom since the present Mayaki assumed the reign of the kingdom, stressing that the socioeconomic activities of the area have picked up rapidly.
He urges them to continue to provide leadership to their people, noting that it was only through such traditional headship that the areas, Lokoja Local Government and the State could move forward.
