Idris Yakubu said the youths are not unaware of plans at conclusive stage by the senator to empower the people economically through trainings,micro and macro economic activities to improve the socio economic development of the area
Comrade Idris stated that the courage to carry out this laudable projects was devoid of political manoeuvre instigated by the kogi state government to provide social amenities only on the radio and on the pages of newspapers through empty promises

Idris urged the senator not to be discouraged by the critics orchestrated by the state government whose development strategies is to fight top political office holders in the state and expressed more support in the ongoing litigation at the court,urging him not to be distracted
He described the current video clip trending as concocted lies, saying the administration is a drowning group and wounded lion owing to obvious maladministration and blunder filled,looking for who to devour in view of its unpopular decisions
