Ahead of the forthcoming party primaries, Hon. Olusegun John Oniwaye, popularly known as Ogede1, has reaffirmed his readiness to emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer for the Kabba/Bunu State Constituency seat in the Kogi State House of Assembly.
In a statement released by his campaign team, Ogede1 described the current political climate and the challenges surrounding the upcoming elections as “a defining moment” that demands experience, grassroots connection, and a clear vision for effective representation.
He noted that while the electoral landscape presents its own complexities, including heightened competition and evolving voter expectations, these factors present a unique opportunity to offer a more people-centered and solution-driven leadership.
“This is not a time for uncertainty or trial-and-error leadership. It is a time for tested capacity, sincerity of purpose, and a deep understanding of the needs of our people. I am prepared to step forward and provide that leadership,” he stated.
Observers within the constituency have continued to highlight Ogede1’s growing popularity, pointing to his sustained engagement with community stakeholders, youth groups, and grassroots mobilizers across Kabba/Bunu. His campaign has consistently emphasized inclusive governance, youth empowerment, infrastructure advocacy, and improved access to education and healthcare.
Political analysts also suggest that the current challenges within the electoral process—ranging from voter apathy to demands for accountability—have positioned credible and well-prepared aspirants like Ogede1 at a strategic advantage. His ability to connect with diverse segments of the constituency is seen as a major strength in a race expected to be highly competitive.
Members of the APC at the ward and local government levels have reportedly expressed confidence in his candidacy, citing his accessibility, consistency, and commitment to party ideals as key attributes that distinguish him from other aspirants.
Ogede1 reiterated his loyalty to the APC and pledged to uphold the party’s values while working collaboratively with leaders and stakeholders to secure victory in both the primaries and the general election.
“Our focus remains clear—to build a united front within the party, earn the trust of our party card carrier Delegates and ultimately deliver effective representation that reflects the true aspirations of Kabba/Bunu people,” he added.
As the countdown to the primaries continues, Hon. Olusegun John Oniwaye (Ogede1) appears poised to leverage the current political dynamics as an opportunity to consolidate support and position himself as the candidate best suited to fly the APC flag in the forthcoming election.
