The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Candidate Nomination Portal has reaffirmed what 51,665 votes, the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC), and the endorsement of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had already established beyond reasonable doubt.
Distinguished Senator Sunday Steve Karimi (DSSK) is the official, duly nominated, and constitutionally recognised APC candidate for Kogi West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Kogi Equity Alliance welcomes this development not merely as a political victory, but as a triumph of democracy, due process, and the collective will of the people. It vindicates the thousands of APC members who exercised their democratic rights across the 85 wards of Kogi West during the party’s primary election on May 18, 2026. It also affirms the courage of those who stood for truth when attempts were made to undermine the democratic mandate. Above all, it reinforces confidence in the constitutional processes of both the APC and INEC, which ultimately produced an outcome consistent with the overwhelming evidence before them.
We commend Distinguished Senator Sunday Steve Karimi for his statesmanship, particularly his call for unity, reconciliation, and collective commitment towards securing victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in the 2027 General Elections. Such leadership reflects the maturity, inclusiveness, and vision that Kogi West deserves.
Kogi Equity Alliance hereby reaffirms its unwavering support for Distinguished Senator Sunday Steve Karimi and his campaign ahead of the 2027 General Elections. We remain convinced that the case for equity, fairness, and inclusive leadership in the 2027 Kogi governorship continues to gather momentum with every milestone achieved by the Senator. His official recognition by INEC as the APC’s duly nominated candidate represents one of the most significant milestones in that journey.
The task before us is now clear. Our collective focus shifts to the 2027 General Elections.
Kogi West is ready. Kogi Equity Alliance is ready.
Congratulations, Distinguished Senator Sunday Steve Karimi (DSSK)
The journey continues.
