The Director-General of GYB/CEDO Campaign Organization in Kabba/Bunu local government area of Kogi State, Hon Duro Meseko has described today’s fence-mending meeting of Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the former Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon James Faleke in Abuja as the best thing to have happened to the party in the State.
Governor Bello, his Chief of Staff and running mate, Chief Edward Onoja had met with Faleke at the Abuja residence of the Governor behind closed doors, after which they posed for photographs displaying four fingers apiece signifying additional four years for Governor Bello in Lugard House.
In a statement issued this afternoon, Hon Meseko said with the coming together of the two gladiators of APC in the state, the coast is fully clear for a resounding victory for the party in the forthcoming Governorship elections.
“For me, the rapprochement between Governor Yahaya Bello and Hon James Faleke today is one of the best things to have happened to our great party, in terms of the unity it would engender, aside other dividends that would accrue therefrom. I am indeed excited that the APC in Kogi is now a closely knit family, united for good governance.
“To all the opposition parties in the state, I admonish them to look beyond the November 16 Governorship election as it is now clear more than ever before that there is no vacancy in Lugard House,” he said.
Hon Meseko who is a former House of Representatives member heaped praises on the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his fatherly role in re-uniting Governor Bello and Hon Faleke.
“To our indefatigable National Leader, Asiwaju Tinubu, I say kudos for his fatherly role in bringing the two brothers, Bello and Faleke, together. For me, politics should not be taken beyond what it is – politics. It should not be a do or die affair. It should be played with a sense of maturity and responsibility and that was what played out in Abuja today.”
