As part of ongoing consultations ahead of the 2027 political season in the country, Hon. Chief Olugbemi Femi, an aspirant for the Kogi State House of Assembly representing Kabba/Bunu State Constituency under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), paid a courtesy visit to the APC Elders Forum in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area.
During the meeting, Hon. Olugbemi formally presented his Letter of Intent to the respected party elders, declaring his aspiration to contest for the Kogi State House of Assembly seat.
He explained that the visit was part of his deliberate effort to consult widely with critical stakeholders, particularly the elders who have played significant roles in building and sustaining the party at the grassroots.
Hon. Olugbemi noted that elders remain the custodians of wisdom and experience in the party, stressing that their guidance, advice, and blessings are essential for any meaningful political journey. He therefore sought their fatherly counsel, support, and prayers as he prepares to serve the people of Kabba/Bunu State Constituency.
The aspirant emphasized his commitment to inclusive leadership, effective representation, and grassroots development, adding that his aspiration is driven by a desire to contribute positively to Kogi State’s progress, serve Kabba/Bunu, and strengthen the party’s influence in the area.
Members of the APC Elders Forum, led by its chairman, Elder Baiyere Sunday, commended Hon. Olugbemi for demonstrating respect for party structure through the consultation. They pointed out that many aspirants don’t regard the elders’ forum with its wealth of political experience.
They encouraged him to remain focused, maintain unity within the party, and continue engaging stakeholders across the constituency.
The elders also offered prayers for wisdom, strength, and success in his political journey while reaffirming the importance of peace, unity, and collective progress within the party.
Hon. Olugbemi concluded the visit by appreciating the elders for their warm reception and invaluable advice, assuring them of his continued loyalty to the party and dedication to the development of Kabba/Bunu State Constituency, Kogi State and Nigeria.
