All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant, who was not cleared to contest the primary, Major General Patrick Akpa has accepted the verdict of the screening committee.Akpa, in a statement on Thursday, said he accepted his disqualification by the screening in good faith.
“I stated and still believe that Kogi State, known as the confluence state; is blessed with abundant resources, including resourceful men and women and that now is the time to make these jewels scattered across the entire globe like sheep without shepherd, to start identifying with their father land.
He added: “I am happy that all through, my messages revolved around the socio-economic and political empowerment of these critical segments of our state and national population. “I do not believe that search for public office should be driven by desperation, draconian styles or subtle exertion of undue pressures on the system to appropriate undue advantages.“After crisscrossing the wards and towns of Kogi State over the years, and having consulted with my political associates, friends and family, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that we have made our voice heard.
