The Kogi State governorship candidate of Accord Party, Admiral Jibrin Usman (retd) has said 10 political parties have collapsed their structures to support
Usman, who stated this at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, said the state of decadence across many critical sectors of the state economy informed his decision to join the race.
Responding to a question on Accord willing to merge with other parties ahead of the November 11 election, Usman said, “We have all seen the resultant effect of the arrangement between two parties that brought about this. So there is nothing bad about merging parties. “It is constitutionally allowed. There is nothing wrong if, for instance, my party decided to merge with another party. It will interest you to know that 10 political parties have indeed merged with my party and my state party chairman has taken them on board. 10 parties are with me, some are adamant but they have approached me that I should give them more time. This is to tell you that other parties have assessed the capacity of the Accord candidate.
He stated that he saw a high level of decadence, lack of infrastructure for effective development and suffering when he embarked on a tour of some districts in Kogi East. On the security situation, he said “Security as we have in Kogi State today is nothing to write home about. People in the state cannot sleep with their two eyes closed. What happened to the candidate of the SDP on his way to Kogi is an affront and a reminder of the level of insecurity in Kogi State. It is surprising that nobody has been questioned till date.
