We need someone who will be able to supervise, who will not just stay in Abuja and allow things to just happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe unity of this country is at stake today. The Muslim doesn\u2019t trust the Christian. The North doesn\u2019t trust the South. We are saying Nigeria can\u2019t breathe because of disunity, we have a leader, His excellency Yahaya Bello, that has united the people of Kogi State, appointing people that are not from Kogi, showing that he is a unifier, the first Muslim governor that decided to build a chapel for Christians to worship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Commenting further, the Chief of Staff revealed that corruption has done a lot of ills to the fabric of the country\u2019s existence, stressing that the natural resources were poorly harnessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cCorruption is staring at our faces today, we have a nation with natural resources that ordinarily should be able to give aid to the United States of America, Great Britain and the Asian world but we lack purposeful leadership to be able and harness these resources,\u201d Asuku added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Chima Azubuike Kogi State Chief of Staff, Abdulkareem Asuku, has said Nigeria has myriads of
