He knows that Tinubu will look at how he emerged, with the support of northern governors for power shift and may look in the direction of Kogi West and Faleke.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe PDP may also settle for a candidate from Kogi West in the November election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The source further dis- closed that apart from the sitting Kogi Accountant General, the incumbent Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja, who is a former Chief of Staff, also from Kogi East, is also interested in the APC ticket for the Lugard House.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It could not, however, be confirmed if the Secretary of the APC PCC, James Faleke, has signified interest for the party ticket.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The APC source further revealed that Tinubu, who personally signed the appointment letter of Governor Bello as the National Youth Coordinator for his campaign issued to the latter last September was already aware of the governor\u2019s half-hearted commitment to his aspiration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said: \u201cHe knows some of the governors who could undermine him. That\u2019s why he is relying on the Independent Campaign Council he created to drive his cam-\u201cFaleke is from the state. Same is the Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, Ha- jiya Ramatu Tijani Aliyu, Hon- ourable Baba Ali and a host of others who have been galvanising support for Tinubu in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PDP\u2019s divided house<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Amid the disaffection in the APC and the defection to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Sunday Tribune investigation revealed that the main opposition party may ultimately lose out in next governorship election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Investigation revealed that while certain chieftains of the party have developed sympathy for the agitation for pow- er shift to Kogi West, two- term governor, Ibrahim Idris, is reportedly moving to position his son, Mohammed, as the party\u2019s candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Incidentally, Idris is from Kogi East. Also in the race for the PDP ticket is Senator Dino Melaye, spokesperson and Director, Public Affairs, PDP Presidential Campaign Council.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My principal remains committed to Tinubu\u2014Fanwo<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking to Sunday Tribune in a telephone interview, Kingsley Fanwo Kogi State Commissioner for Information and Communications and Director, Media and Publicity, Kogi State APC Campaign Council, said the insinuation of Governor Bello\u2019s indifference to the APC presidential candidate aspiration was untrue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He declared that \u201cGovernor Yahaya Bello is a focused and straightforward leader who is always courageous enough to stand by his choices and conviction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe is a party man who has worked with others to deliver for the APC in the past, especially in Ondo and Ekiti states.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cImmediately Tinubu became the standard-bearer of APC, the governor has thrown his weight behind him, one, because he is the party\u2019s candidate and two, because Governor Bello believes so much in the leadership and capacity of Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He went down memory lane on Bello\u2019s efforts to mobilise support for Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou will recall that the Youth Town Hall Meeting held a couple of days ago has been one of the highlights of the APC Presidential Campaign till date. He is committed to and working hard for the emergence of Senator Bolai Tinubu as Nigeria\u2019s next president.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember that Governor Yahaya Bello is a two-term governor of the state and also a democrat. He has been a unifying leader in the state. Be assured of his unbending belief in the All Progressives Congress and Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is work- ing hard day and night to create a greater Nigeria with Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fanwo also described re- cent dissafection in the party leading to defection of certain individuals into the PDP as storm in a tea cup. He maintained that PDP stands no chance both in the general election and next November Kogi governorship poll.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe defection of some members to the Peoples Democratic Party is unfortunate. But every APC member lost to the PDP, thousands of PDP members have also been received in the APC. A few weeks ago, we harvested thousands of APC, Labour Party and other party members.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe can understand why PDP is scrambling for relevance. They have lost power since 2015 and their political nose bloodied in February, March and November 2019. PDP will be finally buried in Kogi in February, March and November 2023. They stand no chance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2022The November governorship election permutation \u2022Governor Bello remains committed to APC candidate \u2014
