Ahead of the 2023 general elections, a group under the auspices of Pan Ankpa Movement (PAM) has called on the Chairman, Kogi state chapter of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Onu Edoka to contest for House of Representatives.

The group’s Publicity Secretary, Hassan Hussein, in a press briefing in Omala on Tuesday, said the reason they are rooting for Edoka to take over Ankpa, Omala, and Olamaboro federal constituency seat in the green chamber is because of his enviable record of service, competence, and passion for development.

According to him, the positive response which greeted its earlier call on Edoka to throw his hat into the ring for the 2023 House of Representatives seat was an eloquent testimony to the fact that God is ready to grant the prayers of the good people of the Ankpa federal constituency who desire good governance, responsive leadership, and prosperity.

“The man, Comrade Edoka has emerged the best thing to have happened to unionism in this current dispensation as far as our dear state is concerned. How he manages to combine the role of providing welfare, empowering people among others with the statutory functions of the union at the apex level remains a mystery to many people even as he is never tired of putting smiles on the faces of Kogites every time.

“An attestation to the sterling performance of Edoka came recently when a reputable independent organization ranked him among the best union chairman based on Individual Performance Index set for all the 36 states. Kogi State remains the best and most active state in north-central Nigeria but Comrade Edoka’s impact and presence is felt in all the nooks and crannies of the whole 21 local government areas.

“We have it on good authority that the performing NLC Chairman has since begun consultations with stakeholders within his party (APC) with favorable responses as most party faithful rate him the best man for the job. They see him as the pride of progressives among the contenders who can replicate and surpass the feat of the past members.

“We are calling on leaders, chieftains, and members of APC in Ankpa federal axis to key into the Comrade Onu Edoka project of making the constituency reclaim her rightful pride of place among the comity of federal constituency in the state and country. 

“We, at PAM, are more than ready to champion the cause of mobilizing the electorate since we cannot afford to miss the opportunity of having a competent, experienced, and passionate man at the helm of affairs from February 26 for our dear constituency to develop holistically,” he said.
