Enough Of Felele Truck Accident Initiative (EFTAI)

WHEN  WILL  KOGI  STATE  AND  FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA STOP KILLING 

PEOPLE ON FELELE ROAD

1.0 COURTESIES

Distinguish  Nigerians, fellow  global road users

from all walks of life, powerful members of the 

Press and  those who  care and  value lives. We 

salute you all.

2.0 OPENING

For THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS (365), from 24th April 2025 to today Tuesday 21st day of April, 2026 we have daily canvassed both Governments of:

1. Kogi State 

        under the leadership of:

        H.E ALHAJI AHMED USMAN ODODO fca

        and

2. Federal Government of Nigeria

        under the leadership of:

        H.E Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR

on the sad occurrences on Felele road, a major road linking ABUJA to the West, North Central, East  and almost from Abuja to several other places, that it is known to have claimed several lives, not to talk of properties.

Let us draw your attention to the fact that between 2024 and 2026, it has claimed not less than twenty (20) students lives, not to mention several hundreds of other lives: lives of final year students, lecturers, workers and children in some instances and several resulting in inferno, where victims are burnt beyond recognition.

Yes, the host state- KOGI STATE GOVERNMENT will come with its not moving and now mere ritual addresses and that ends it as the lucky ones wait again to survive and only hear those now disgusting speeches.

Sadly, the two higher institutions seated at the edges of the road DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to impress on the STATE and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT respectively, for reason unknown to the public, not even this campaign did they join, despite the fact, that we send to them most times, to the immediate past VICE CHANCELLOR of the  Federal  University, Prof. Akinwunmi

and to Dr. Usman Ogbo the former Rector of Kogi State Polytechnic, all to no avail, NOT EVEN 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, how then do we EXPECT THEM TO RAISE this sensitive issue with the Commissioner for Works or the Governor or the Minister for Works or the PRESIDENT.

Painful, is it to NOTE, that the immediate past Commissioner for Works in the State, Engr. Mohammed Avohi Yusuf  also has the official page of the Ministry of works to receive daily copy of this campaign.

To members of the public who are at the receiving end too, rarely PAY ATTENTION as well. Its all looking like everyone has GIVEN UP or become CARELESS to what they are not better than, at least not than those the road has consumed or incapacitated!

WHO MADE US LIKE THIS?

3.0 THE ISSUES

We observed that, there is serious ROAD USER issue understanding as some riders, particularly OKADAs/ MOTOR CYCLES and TRYCYCLES are just careless entirely on that road, and we embarked on ONLINE DOCUMETATIONS, Documentary and on enlightenment and educative flyer production in almost six (6) languages of Hausa, Ibo, Ebira, Okun, Igala, Pidgin, produced  a few handbills and jingles for them, same as Road sensitization exercises within our reach and resources, as we have no funder. Same as some non perfect Hausa bike riders.

2. The road is sharply steeply from the CRUSHER end of the road, thus AIDING FREE FALL OF MOSTLY OVERLOADED TRUCKS, which are already OPERATING AT ALMOST ZERO BRAKE EFFICIENCY, due to HEAT ON THEIR WHEELS, reducing FRICTION and some without good brakes already, even supported with physical SHOCKING-STOPPER WOODS as the motor boys run after the trucks to stop it or help reduced the gathering speed from the high gradient.

3. Some of the trucks are handed over to MOTOR BOYS LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE and following them to have a taste of the drive as they approach the town, through the town as their IGNORANT BOSSES (DRIVER) think they won’t be able to speed, and unfortunately, due to imperfection and lack of experience to beat the ugly sudden developments therein, they keep crushing both human and vehicles to NEEDLESS DEATHS.

4. Lack of SHOULDERS for vehicles to PARK or NAVIGATE as escape route is another unfortunate situation that aids this dastardly avoidable occurrences.

4.0 SOLUTIONS

(i) We have proffered the following suggestions:

We do not have or claim to have knowledge to solve this problem, neither have we entered into any competition on this matter, other than bring to the table, what we found as way forward to the understudied situations around the AVOIDABLE NEEDLESS DEATHS:

3

1. Closure of the road the heavy  traffic part of the day, but WARNED that its only a TEMPORARY solution pending when the REAL and LASTING SOLUTION will be put in place.

2. We have advised that A DIVERSION IS SET UP BEFORE CRUSHER, where trucks move into a large hanger park to:

        A. Get their truck breaks checked

        B. Get their trucks rested if brake efficiency is still okay

        C. Take a rest before proceeding

        D. Fix the brake fault if any

        E. On the side at entry ro NATACO, a rest point compulsorily.

 

3. Route Design in the park is slowed curves enough to put a trailer to rest and recover from brake failures arising from heat generated on their wheels. After which, they proceed through the EXIT Gate with SHORT DISTANT to go before exiting Felele road.

4.0 (ii) THE NEW COMMISSIONER FOR WORKS: Bar. Deedat Ozigi

We welcome you onboard and ask you "IF THIS WILL BE OVER IN YOUR TIME? or as inherited, you will KEEP SEALED LIPS BEFORE THE GOVERNOR, MINISTER OF WORKS and pass it on to the Commissioner that will succeed you?"

     

(iii) THE NEW RECTOR, Kogi Stare Polytechnic, Lokoja. Professor Sanusi Avidime

We welcome you  and ask you "IF YOU WILL SPEAK ABOUT THIS TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR WORKS, THE GOVERNOR, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL BOARD FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION, THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND THE PRESIDENT, AND GET IT SORTED IN YOUR TIME?" or you simply dine and wine with POWERS like those before you and WATCH your STUDENTS DIES before your OWN EYES?

(iv) THE NEW VICE CHANCELLOR Federal University Lokoja Professor Gbenga Solomon Ibileye

We welcome you  and ask you "IF YOU WILL SPEAK ABOUT THIS TO THE COMMISSIONER FOR WORKS, THE GOVERNOR, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NIGERIA UNIVERSITY COMMISSION, THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION, THE MINISTER OF WORKS AND THE PRESIDENT, AND GET IT SORTED IN YOUR TIME?" or you just dine and wine with POWER like those before you and just WATCH your STUDENTS DIE before your very EYES!

EYE?

(v) Governor Ahmed Usman fca

Two years gone and many still dying, we humbly ASK, just how MANY MORE INNOCENT SOULS SHOULD BE WASTED before you fix the road? and will you just BOOST YOUR PORTFOLIO OF SUCCESS BY ADDING THE DEATH-ROUTE SOLUTION TO YOUR BREAKTHROUGH?

(vi) President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR

Mr. President, how long will you TURN DEAF HEARS to this solvable problem, when will you direct your MINISTER OF WORKS who is fixing a FLYOVER nearby at KABBA JUNCTION to get the ROAD-TO-GRAVE FIXED? when

5.0 APPEAL TO NIGERIANS

We appeal to NIGERIANS AND ALL ROAD USERS ALL OVER THE WORLD to CRY ENDLESSLY ON KOGI STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO FIX THE ROAD AND STOP UNTIMELY, NEEDLESS AND PAINFUL DEATHS ON THAT ROAD.

People should consider the thousands of STUDENTS using that road and occupy all pages, medium and handles of both Kogi State and Federal Government of Nigeria.

The high ones in the society should also SPEAK THE TRUTH TO POWER ABOUT THESE SIMPLE SOLUTION, which will in turn put MORE MONEY IN THE POCKET OF THE GOVERNMENT and CREATE MORE JOBS, including engaging the PRIVATE SECTOR DEEPLY.

 

6.0 SUMMARY

To all in POWER with what it takes to:

STOP THESE NEEDLESS DEATHS ON FELELE ROAD,

hope you know you will

ONE DAY STAND BEFORE GOD TO EXPLAIN YOUR ROLES, INCLUSIVE YOUR INACTION?

AND... 

for those in the public with the simple power to join this campaign by SHARING and re-echoing it and you are not, YOU WON’T BE EXCUSED EITHER, for NONE THAT IS LIVING, IS BETTER THAN ANY WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THAT ROAD DUE TO OUR COLLECTIVE CARELESSNESS...

EFTAI Bids The Former Commissioner Of Works, Hon. Mohammed Ahovi Yusuf That Failed To Heed Fixing Felele Road Despite Many Deaths and Agony On That Road Farewell... -EFTAI

EFTAI Bids The Former Commissioner Of Works,  Hon. Mohammed Ahovi Yusuf That Failed To Heed Fixing Felele Road Despite Many Deaths and Agony On That Road Farewell...*  -EFTAI

The Enough of Felele Trucks Accident Initiative (EFTAI) has bided the former Commissioner for Works in Kogi State, Hon. Mohammed Ahovi Yusuf  farewell, despite failing to address FELELE ROAD, which today we would have added to the Governor's caps under his watch.

In a statement signed by the Public Communication Head Engr. Ahmed Kareem NSE, "whatever, we do while in office will be an update upon our exit" just like today we are remembering him and biding him farewell as a former Commissioner for Works- Hopefully, going forward, HE WILL LISTEN TO PUBLIC OUTCRY and let the HELPLESS BREATH... the statement ends in part.

We wish strongly, that the newly redeployed Commissioner, Hon Bar. Salami Ozigi Deedat will do the needful as the campaign hits *349 days of non stop campaign.* today Sunday 5th April, 2026.

It is also incumbent on the Governor, H.E Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo to rise to the occasion and boost his profile with the most deserving life saving project, *WE WANT NO MORE DEATH on that road again!!!* 

"For those who can speak to Government and has refused to and for all that has kept sealed mouth over Felele Road, we wish you are never a victim, and you also know you are not better than those who are gone on that road or those of us, pressing on this matter daily"

In the same light we graciously remember all that have fallen on that road needlessly and pray that God bless their memories.

Now That Faleke, A Man Of Honour Has Spoken, The Masquerading Political Bandits Are Exposed...-Onibiyo Dayo

Now That Faleke, A Man Of Honour Has Spoken, The Masquerading Political Bandits Are Exposed...-Onibiyo Dayo

First, I love to join millions to appreciate all those who sincerely called on Honourable James Abiodun Faleke to come for Governorship, because they truly desire him and the West to be Governor, but didn't take cognizance of the new political relationship between the West and the Central, a formidable embankment against Lugard House domination in the name of unfounded self centeredness and  tribalism, we should be Congratulating also the great people of Bassa and other allies as listed in unhidden terms in my last write up on this subject , where I narrated the ills of such move against securing the West's coming sixteen (16) years term too.  This is clear now, that it will hold waters.

Again, I say God bless them for I hold nothing against them, even while the heat was on, I had maintained an enlightenment and appeal position rather than attack and I strongly believe any right minded thinking _Ododites_ will not, either, anyone who desire the Governorship to go round in Kogi State will surely not hate or fight them for they agitated deservingly.

Some of us who took this stand were branded "anti Okun" but we saw beyond this last waiting six (6) years, ww also saw a united West (not just okun) which by Gods grace is 2031, let me add insha Allah and _lagbara awon onile._ 

Its not just painful that we were about wasting thirty years seven months (30.7) of waiting on a platter of "taken advantage" which would have just re-ushered in the slave masters and sit-tight bully-lords, boom! we (West) would have blew it, the Central would have kissed Lugard House bye forever, though with record of twelve (12) years to their kitty and be gone forever! or until another Governorship candidate dies again (God forbid)

The real saboteurs are those wicked greedy elements who want to draw Faleke (name dropping, the 419 group) in and use that to throw wedge between the West and Central so they can return to power unceremoniously after spending unbroken eighteen years seven months (18.7) and has merely stayed barely  less than twelve (12) years out of office, and now suddenly crying like wolves around.

 imagine, the same people are behind the devilish rumour of one-term agreement, which Faleke also debunked.

While the real and genuine Faleke for Governor team were innocently and diligently going about their interest, in pursuit of their wish, the 419-crusaders were smearing Faleke's name behind, saying all manners of things and boasting, priding in self ego, that "who will allow another minority to rule" we heard all, we saw their gathering but because it is not of the Lord, they failed woefully as decreed in the Bible, in the book of Isaiah... They are now back with their tails tucked in between their legs. 

One of the true sons of Okun,  Fakeke, a team player, is indeed smarter, experienced, wiser, strategic and truly a leader with clear foresight.

I had even posited that, if Tinubu did not get rascally about enthroning Faleke, in event that he buys in, these set of hawks and cheats would still raise another of their own and by then the Central and West would have been voting separate directions (soiled relationship) while they will just throw themselves into Lugard House  directly or through rerun Election. Then our eyes will become clearer.

Still, let Kogi APC be very weary of these group of people and hold the ranks well, in order to avoid another hit from behind which will surely come but they will surely fail, Ododo's eight (8) years is now sacrosanct as West's terms as Governor loads.

Congratulations to the more united and stronger team of Kogi APC (Ododoites + Falekeites) God bless the reunion.
