Gov. Bello Moves to Reconcile APC Stakeholders in Kogi ahead of Nov. Poll

Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello has taken a giant step towards ensuring the victory of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the upcoming general election in the state by bringing together all the key stakeholders of the state chapter of the party.

The governor met with the party stakeholders in Abuja as part of efforts to mend fences ahead of the November governorship election.

In a statement he issued and signed, a member of the state APC leadership forum, Senator Alex Kadiri described the meeting as an interactive session.

He said at the meeting, Governor Yahaya Bello harped on the need for reconciliation in the state chapter of the APC to ensure unity amongst members, urging the warring factions within the party to resolve their differences and move forward as one united political party.

Appealing to the Governor on behalf of the Kogi State Stakeholders’ Forum, Kadiri made two demands.

Firstly, he urged the state government to take steps towards paying outstanding salaries and pension to workers and pensioners respectively so as to cushion the prolonged hardship they have been experiencing in the state.

Secondly, Dr Kadiri drew the attention of the governor to the non-implementation of the reports of the two reconciliatory committees led separately by Prince Tony Momoh and General Garba (Rtd), set up by Chief John Odigie Oyegun, the former National Chairman of the party.

He also reminded the Governor that the resolutions reached during the interactive session with Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo before the last general elections remained unimplemented.

He, therefore, begged the Governor to take time to read these reports as a basis for further genuine reconciliation.
