No sooner than Hon. Omar Bio alighted from his vehicle that he was received by the state lawmaker representing Kaiama/Kemanji/Wojibe State Constituency, Hon. Halidu Dan-Baba, and joined other teeming supporters before embarking on a ride that took the entourage through the major streets of the ancient Kaiama town that lead to the Emir's palace.

The journey from GSS (Unity) junction that ordinarily could had taken five (5) minutes drive or even less to the palace of Bagidi Ki-Yaru IV took Hon. Omar Bio and the entire entourage not less than one hour.

Commercial activities were, however, locked up along Kishi Road and other routes that led to the palace as people trooped out to join the entourage.

Tricycle (keke) cyclists were not left out as they added glamour to the seven even as those that offer to speak with our correspondent showered encomiums on Hon. Omar Bio going by his legislative accomplishments as a first term lawmaker of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

At the palace of the Emir of Kaiama, HRH (Alh.) Muazu Shehu Omar, the lawmaker and his entourage paid the traditional obeisance to the Royal Father and briefed him about the purpose of his visit, disclosing that he was on a sensitisation visit and grassroots engagement tour after being kept away from the constituency with legislative and national assignments. 

On his part, the Royal Father expressed delight for the visit and assure the lawmaker of his royal blessings and support at all times, adding that the lawmaker has done so well, therefore, his second term bid is justified.

The entourage, thereafter, proceeded to the location of a new billboard to be commissioned. The billboard was donated a party stalwart and coordinator of the Hon. Omar Bio Political Vanguard for Wojibe Ward, Comr. Ahmed Inuwa Baa-Ge'e.

Speaking shortly before the commission of the campaign billboard, Hon. Omar Bio noted that the vanguard is a politically inclined movement founded since his civil service days to mastermind political strategies.

Also speaking before the commission, Hon. Halidu Danbaba expressed joy and satisfaction with the activities of the vanguard, saying that "I am overwhelmed with the mammoth crowd of APC family that I am seeing on ground here and especially the billboard which is about to be commissioned in a matter of minutes." 

"There's no doubt about the good work of the Hon. Omar Bio Political Vanguard, Kaiama Chapter, and by God's Grace APC would retain power come 2023," Danbaba said.

While commissioning the billboard, the chieftain of the APC and Shantali of Ilesha-Baruba, Hon. Ahmed Umar Sabi, charged the group to remain salflessly committed to the objectives of APC and focus on mass mobilisation of voters, stressing the need for all to work harmoniously for the victory of the party. He noted that a vote for the broom party, APC will guarantee consolidation and sustainability.

The climax of the event was the formal commissioning of the billboard located along Kugiji Road at Shirigwaria junction in Wojibe ward, Kaiama LGA, Kwara State. The billboard was commissioned by the Shantali of Ilesha-Baruba, Hon. Ahmed Umar Sabi.

The high point of Hon. Omar Bio's visit to Kaiama LG was engagement with the constituents at the lawmaker's constituency office located along Tenebo Road, Kaiama, Kwara State.

Addressing the people, Hon. Omar Bio urged them to ensure they collect their PVCs to be able to cast their votes for the broom party, APC in the forthcoming general election, adding that the resolution is "APC SAK" i.e APC all through.

“I appreciate you and I'm assuring you all (by God's grace) that we are defeating the PDP in the forthcoming general election. We have done enough as a party and your representatives to seek re-election,” Hon. Omar Bio said.

The constituents, however, commended Hon. Omar Bio for not destroying co-contestants, even with so many reasons to do so, but rather telling the people what he has achieved and his next plan as the people's representative.
