Opinion | Kogi APC Party Ticket Without Primary and Kangaroo Substitution of Names at Kabba, Bunu Ijumu Constituency

A lot of things to post just to keep my people updated but I don’t even know where to start from but before anything let me tell Kogi people especially Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency to know that APC may not have a candidate there.

APC has over 14 seats emptied with no name in INEC, what this means is that, APC failed to submit candidates’ names of over 14 lawmakers ranging from State Assembly, House Representatives and Senate due to issues unresolved before INEC deadline and that of Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu is inclusive.

All Progressive Congress APC has appealed to INEC to provide a window for that, while opposition parties like PDP, LP has gone to court to sue INEC not to accept such.

This has made the current Kogi State House of Assembly Speaker RH. Kolawole who claims he has won the ticket of Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu to sue his own party APC and INEC why his name is not with INEC but from my findings, the person giving him the toughest fight of his life is this young man Hon. Olobatoke Segun Samuel 

Hon., Samuel  believes Kolawole has not met the requirements to snatch his ticket from him, the issue he claims are serving as stumbling block for the Kolawole are series of affidavits, different names on certificates and INEC documents e.t.c

Some are of the opinion that the gods of those state assembly members Kolawole used to his own advantage of getting his own ticket are fighting back. 

 Rhe initial plans was for those who sought re-election to get their tickets and those who wants higher positions to get amidst support and efforts for Gov. Yahaya Bello’ ambition to be president but it turned out that only Kolawole’ wish was granted.

TIPS ON HOW TO GET PARTY TICKET IN KOGI:

I.)  get ears of those around the governor(Ebiras), tell them unfounded stories how your opponent does not like them or sponsored by someone who does not like GYB, 

ii.) claim they have different agenda and all, then

iiii.)  have small money to water the ground before the party chairman/others and your local government chairman if he is in their good book.
