Okun political leaders have unanimously agreed to work with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and promised to deliver en masse for the governorship
The leaders gave the assurances during a meeting by the Obaro of Kabba, Oba Solomon Owoniyi, which drew all the First Class traditional, political and opinion moulders from the five Local Government Areas of the Okun speaking part of Kogi State.But the stakeholders told the Royal Father that they had unanimously agreed to support the APC as they were not prepared to play ethnic politics when Kogi needs to be at the centre.
“With the love the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello has shown to the Okun nation in the location of projects, infrastructure and in appointment, we have every reason to go in the direction of Governor Bello, President Tinubu and the APC,” a prominent stakeholder in Okunland, Erick Fiki, said.
“Let me assure that in Yagba, we will reward the APC with the love Gov. Bello has shown to us in the upgrade of infrastructure, traditional institution and appointment. The outcome of the Governorship election will reflect a landslide victory for the APC,” he assured. He added: “The Governor understands that education is our industry. Over time, we have had to use our taxes and resources to develop other universities where our children go to seek education.
“Governor Bello has urged us to strive towards unity amongst the people of Okun and Ebiras that dates back. He has promised that in or out of office, he will continue to add his voice in ensuring that Okun nation is rewarded abundantly.” Secretary to the State Government, Dr Folashade Ayoade, described the meeting convened by the Obaro of Kabba as one in the right direction.
