The grassroots party leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across Kogi East Senatorial District, comprising the 9 Local Government Party Chairmen and 97 Ward Chairmen, have declared full alignment with the resolutions of the Kogi East APC Critical Stakeholders Forum.
In a joint declaration issued from Lokoja, the grassroots executives backed the stakeholders’ call for massive voter mobilisation to ensure total victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kogi State Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo in the 2027 elections.
Commending the communiqué issued at the conclusion of the Kogi East APC Strategic Leadership Conference in Abuja, the 9 LGA Chairmen and 97 Ward Chairmen applauded the decision to seek a structured, negotiated framework for power rotation while prioritising concrete developmental gains for the zone.
The party executives strongly urged the stakeholder forum to remain resolute in demanding direct, high-impact infrastructural development across Kogi East to address the region’s two-decade infrastructure deficit.
Furthermore, the grassroots leaders joined the stakeholders in calling on the Federal Government to confer a long-overdue Posthumous National Honour on the late former Governor, Prince Abubakar Audu, in recognition of his monumental contributions to the state and to Nigeria’s democratic history.
“We fully endorse the visionary leadership and strategic direction set by our leaders in Abuja. As custodians of the party across all 97 wards in Kogi East, we are united in ensuring that our people deliver a landslide vote share for President Tinubu and Governor Ododo. Crucially, we charge our leaders to negotiate courageously for major roads, economic projects, and public infrastructure, while passionately advocating for a fitting national honour for our late political icon, Prince Abubakar Audu.”
The chairmen pledged to immediately activate ward and unit-level structures to strengthen party cohesion, deepen reconciliation, and guarantee maximum voter turnout across all nine local government areas in the district.
