By: Ochigbo John

Comrade Abba Moro the incoming senator of Benue south remain one of the incredible politician from Benue south. His antecedent as been successful in all the areas he was called to serve confers on him the capacity to represent the good people of Benue south senatorial district effectively.

Though his ascension to the throne was a tortuous journey, but his sagacity, friendship he courted with his people for long and his developmental impact were the foundation to his victory. Abba Moro has invested all his resources in people unlike other politicians from this clime who will rather invest in buildings and exotic cars. This is a reminder of a story of money used by two mothers. The money the barren mother uses to buy jewelries is the same another mother uses to pay her children school fees. So you won’t expect the mother who pays school fees to live in glamour. Politics have made Abba Moro poorer though his savings account of goodwill has billions as deposit. No doubt living sacrificially for his people is in his DNA. A typical Edumoga man who lives the Edumoga way of ‘Okplòda Le yòga’ meaning he who borrows to entertain. He ensured the youths got their rightful placement by empowering them en masse in to federal agencies and other sectors he had influence. Part of these gestures confers the fertileness to represent his people.
