structured to advocate for societal transformation in all ramifications by building a critical mass at the

grassroots level to actively engage in the political space and significantly influence the direction of discourse.


      KTA is indeed, conscious of the fact that the Wada administration has made good its promises to use the

plethora of projects and programmes conceived under its Transformation Blueprint to significantly set the

stage for a buoyant economy and improve the living standard of the citizens. Studies have proven and

experience even within the state has shown that for a society to truly transform, the buy in of the populace

must be sought and gotten, hence the determination of the Kogi Transformation Alliance (KTA) (2016

Forward Wada Initiative) to be in the vanguard of those canvassing for true transformation by mobilizing the

populace, promoting good governance and fostering the continuation and re-election of impeccable political

administrations across the state, including the Wada administration. The Group is comprised of professional

men and women, youths, businessmen and women, artists, artisans, sportsmen and women, physically

challenged persons, widows associations, Christian, Muslim and native religious groups, community,

traditional and market leaders, opinion molders and analysts, farmers, school teachers, trade unions and all

masses domiciled in Kogi state and Nigeria committed to the ideals of good and quality leadership, unity,

peace and progress of our state under the Constitution.
