According to the communiqué, modalities have been put in place to galvanize members of the party towards a resounding victory in the Governorship Poll.

Also in attendance are the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Umar Aliyu ( Assignment); Member of the House of Representatives representing Lokoja/Koto Federal Constituency, Hon. Danladi Aguye; Member representing Kogi/Kotonkarfe in the State House of Assembly, Hon.

All the leaders commended Governor Yahaya Bello for his inclusive governance and developmental strides.
In a related development, there are strong indications that APC stalwarts in Gegu North might have abandoned Hon. Abdulkarim Isah (Wambai), as party leaders said his declaration of support for the SDP is unilateral and doesn’t enjoy the support of the Ward.
It would be recalled that the former APC Chieftain declared support for the Social Democratic Party. But the people of the Ward said their loyalty and support are for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
It has been reported that over 300 PDP members defected to the All Progressives Congress in order to align with the ruling party ahead of the Guber Poll.
