Kogi: APC youth coalition fault party leadership

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Coalition For Good Governance has faulted the national leadership of the party on the choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the party’ s governorship candidate in Kogi State.

The group at a press conference Wednesday in Lokoja said that the party by the action had made a mess of their toil and and solidarity for their party.

Spokesman of the group, Mr. Rotimi Sunday said that members of the coalition will not fold their arms and allow the leaders to foist political crisis on the innocent people of the state who had been cohabiting peacefully with one another regardless of religious or tribal differences.

He rejected the selection of Bello as a replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu, insisting that the the latter’s running mate, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke was the right person to be governorship candidate.

He explained that the party held 33 rallies in all the nook and crannies of the state before the election, none of which he said Bello attended.

The group called on the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and other members of the national working committee to tow the line of honour by reversing themselves on the choice of Bello and replacing him with Faleke.

Their spokesman also lampooned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for declaring the election inconclusive, describing the decision as unconstitutional and rejected the idea of supplementary election.
