The member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, James Faleke has reacted to the reports of the purchase of Nominations and Expression of Interest Forms for him to contest the Kogi State Gubernatorial primary election under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ebira Reporters gathered that the form was purchased for the lawmaker by a stalwart of the party, Abubakar Sanusi Gamji.
Reacting to the news in a statement, Faleke who is also the secretary of the party’s presidential campaign council, noted that he became aware of the move while in Borno state for campaign rally.
The lawmaker, however, said the presidential election is a burning issue for him, and he is deeply involved.
He said: “I got information while I was in Borno rally today as to the collection of APC Kogi Governorship Form on my behalf by some of my friends in the state.
“While I thank them for their gesture and good intentions, I wish to state that what is before us all in the country now is the Presidential Election which is a burning issue and of which I’m deeply involved like all others.
“I therefore wish to say that all issues relating to the Kogi election coming up in November 2023 should be kept out and not distract us from the main agenda of the coming elections which is very paramount.
“Finally I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the people of the state.”
