ABUJA — Concerned stakeholders from across the seven local government areas of Kogi West Senatorial District have called on President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, to intervene in the lingering crisis over the party’s senatorial primary election in the district.

The stakeholders warned that the dispute, if unresolved, could deepen internal divisions and weaken the party’s chances ahead of the 2027 general elections.

A grassroots pro-democracy group, Eagle Watch and Project Accountability Initiative, made the appeal in a statement signed by its Chairman, Alhaji Danasabe Muhammed, and Secretary, Barr. Abdulateef Kareem, and made available to journalists in Abuja on Thursday.
