It is indeed an auspicious day to celebrate the life and times of Distinguished Senator, Engr. (Dr.) Abubakar Sadiq Ohere, and reminisce on his contributions to the growth and development of Kogi State and beyond on the occassion of his birthday today.
Since 2016, Senator Ohere has distinguished himself as an astute politician, and a go-getter with his eyes on the prize; his appointment as Special Adviser to the Governor of Kogi State on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, saw him elevate the status and standing of traditional rulers in the state as not only were many of them upgraded to new classes, but their presence, opinions and importance to State building were neither overlooked nor ignored.
Senator Ohere’s track record has seen him hold three appointments in one administration, spanning two terms; going from Special Adviser to full Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the first, and then, appointed as Commissioner for Works and Housing in the second.
Without a doubt, his giant strides made him beyond worthy of the ticket to the National Asembly as the Senator representing Kogi-Central District. Making it an easy win against his opponents.
His is a success story that keeps getting better, Senator Ohere continues to prove himself loyal to the party and his people, and has already begun making waves as an outspoken Senator in the Red Chamber.
His steadfast loyalty to his people over the years has earned him much deserved accolades and respect, his professionalism and attention to detail is one to be emulated. Indeed, he has excelled beyond imagining in the discharge of his duties.
It is this tenacity that has earned him the people’s trust to go and represent us at the Senate.
Not forgetting his numerous philanthropic and community development efforts over the years as well.
Suffice it to say, as a citizen of Kogi State, I more than appreciate all his efforts, wisdom, and commitment to the fulfilment of a united and truly developed Kogi State.
As the distinguished Senator marks another year on this earth, I pray God continues to bless, guide, guard and protect him always. May he continue to live his life in acclaim, and may all his endeavors continually be fruitful.
Happy Birthday Distinguished Senator Sir!
