• Say East will no longer be appendage to any political bloc

Sunday Aborisade in Abuja

Ahead of the 2027 general election, critical stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi East Senatorial District have declared their total support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, while demanding a fresh and equitable framework for political power rotation in Kogi State.

The stakeholders, who spoke through a communiqué issued at the end of their Strategic Leadership Conference in Abuja and made available to THISDAY on Saturday, said Kogi East would no longer accept a political arrangement that relegated the senatorial district to the status of an appendage of another political bloc.

They also called for direct negotiations with political stakeholders from Kogi Central and Kogi West on what they described as “distinct, transparent and equitable” terms to establish a predictable framework for power transition and inclusive development in the state.
