We must come together to support a candidate that is best seen as a Kogi consensus candidate. Together we can fix Kogi State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Idakwo who expressed optimism that the Labour Party will soon take over Nigeria, said it is the only political party the general public trust to rescue the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He appealed to all Nigerians to be \u201cpeaceful and law-abiding\u201d as the law was very clear about the position of the constitution on the just concluded general election when Nigerians clearly made their position known on who they wanted as their president.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, \u201cSection 134 of 1999 constitution as amended made it clear that 25% in 2\/3 of 36 states is required and FCT. 2\/3 of 36 states equals 24 states and FCT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said that \u201cFor those who argue that FCT is now seen as one of the states, if you add FCT to 36 states making 37, 2\/3 of 37 is not 24 or 25.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The judiciary, he said has the responsibility to make this clear interpretation to save our democracy from total collapse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs patriotic citizens, we must have faith in the process, remain peaceful and law-abiding in this trying time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of the November 11 Kogi State governorship election, the Labour Party said its candidate, Adejoh Okeme, is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1235,1658,1071],"class_list":{"0":"post-7152","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-adejoh-okeme","8":"tag-emmanuel-idakwo","9":"tag-labour-party"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Our Candidate is God\u2019s Gift to Transform Kogi - Labour Party\u00a0 - Ebira Reporters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ahead of the November 11 Kogi State governorship election, the Labour Party said its candidate, Adejoh Okeme, is a gift from God who needs\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/our-candidate-is-gods-gift-to-transform-kogi-labour-party\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Our Candidate is God\u2019s Gift to Transform Kogi - Labour Party\u00a0 - Ebira Reporters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ahead of the November 11 Kogi State governorship election, the Labour Party said its candidate, Adejoh Okeme, is a gift from God who needs\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/our-candidate-is-gods-gift-to-transform-kogi-labour-party\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Ebira Reporters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ebirareporters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"www.facebook.com\/ebirareporters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-05-22T20:36:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ebirareporters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ebirareporters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/our-candidate-is-gods-gift-to-transform-kogi-labour-party\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/our-candidate-is-gods-gift-to-transform-kogi-labour-party\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ebirareporters.com\/#\/schema\/person\/e7e2919de185342f413c196898786669\"},\"headline\":\"Our Candidate is God\u2019s Gift to Transform Kogi &#8211;
