2027: Kogi stakeholders rally grassroot support for Tinubu
Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, under the auspices of the Kogi Progressive Stakeholders Forum (KPSF), endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term in office on Wednesday. They pledged to double the votes for his re-election in the 2027 general elections.
This endorsement was the result of a high-level stakeholders meeting held at the Reverton Hotel in Lokoja, Kogi State, where party leaders, lawmakers, elders, and key stakeholders resolved to fully align with the ruling party at the national level.
The group aims to promote unity and cohesion within the party while addressing any noticeable gaps.
Captain Idris Wada, the Chairman of the forum and former Governor of Kogi State, stated that the forum was established to unite and mobilize grassroots supporters of the APC to ensure the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.
He urged APC members across the state to embrace peace, unity, and internal cohesion, emphasizing that a united party is essential to effectively support the president’s reform agenda and secure electoral success.
Inclusiveness remains a core principle of the forum, according to Wada, who noted that all party members, regardless of their status or faction, must be included in the collective efforts to strengthen the APC and enhance democratic participation.
The Vice Chairman of the forum, Alhaji Suleiman Baba Ali, who is also a member of the governing board of the North Central Commission, expressed optimism that President Tinubu would receive overwhelming support from the Kogi electorate in 2027.
He stressed that President Tinubu’s leadership has inspired confidence across the nation, pointing out that the administration’s reforms would ultimately reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth and development.
He called on APC members and supporters across the 21 local government areas of Kogi State to remain steadfast, united, and focused on consolidating the gains of the party, stressing that collective effort at the grassroots remains key to electoral success.
Sen. Sunday Steve Karimi, Senator representing Kogi West described the endorsement of President Tinubu and the increasing alignment of the state with the APC as a positive development.
He declared that President Tinubu deserved a second term to complete the economic and security reforms initiated by his administration, citing improvements in foreign exchange stability, security, access to student loans through NELFUND, infrastructure development and economic reforms that previous governments avoided.
He acknowledged that some members of the party are not happy and assured that they will be heard and all issues addressed.
“We know there are so many people in this state that are not happy and if we leave them like that, we will not win 2027 elections. We want Mr. President to win and win well.
Also speaking, Former Director General, National Productivity Centre, Dr. Kashim Akor, said the forum has created an avenue for aggrieved members of the party to channel their grievances with expectation that it will be addressed. He urged party leaders to embrace reconciliation and sacrifice.
At the end of the meeting, stakeholders issued a communiqué in which they unanimously declared their total and unwavering support for President Tinubu as the APC’s sole presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
The communiqué rejected what it described as divisive politics, calling for unity of purpose among political leaders of the state.
The leaders urged the people of Kogi within and outside the state to embrace the APC as the most viable platform for advancing the state’s political and economic interests.
They further pledged to mobilise human, material and political resources to deliver bloc votes for Tinubu across the 21 LGA’s of the state come 2027.
