The parties include; Labour Party, Young People’s Party, Dr Sam Omale and All Progressives Grand Alliance.
In a bid to put up a stronger fight against the ruling All Progressives Congress and frontline opposition Peoples Democratic Party , three political parties have joined forces ahead of the upcoming November 2023 gubernatorial elections in Kogi State.
The trio were candidates of the Labour Party, Barrister Okeme Adejoh; his counterpart in the Young People’s Party, Dr Sam Omale and All Progressives Grand Alliance candidate Kingsley Ilonah. “But we want to announce once again that no candidate has been endorsed on a consensus basis yet. We also want to reiterate that consensus will not be sacrificed on the altar of incompetence, money, injustice and lack of fairness.”
The APGA candidate also confirmed that though four out of eleven candidates jostling to be adopted as consensus have dropped out of the race, they are hoping the committee won’t settle for a mediocre individual.He said, “We were asked to present three names of candidates to the Gabriel Aduku committee which we assumed is the umbrella body for all the groups coming together to adopt a consensus.
