A former deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. James Faleke, has affirmed his support for the party’s candidate in the November 11 election in Kogi state, Alhaji Usman Ododo.
Faleke made this known when he visited Governor Yahaya Bello in Abuja on Friday.
The federal lawmaker, who went on the visit with top members of the Audu/Faleke political family, explained that their decision to wholeheartedly support Ododo Ahmed Usman’s candidacy was reached following a meeting with other party members in Abuja.
This meeting was in preparation for the official flag-off campaign ceremony of the APC in Kogi State.
He emphasized that their dedication to working for the ruling APC is motivated by the broader interests of both the state and the nation.
Faleke assured that the All Progressives Congress is united and stronger than ever before.
Welcoming the contingent, Governor Bello reaffirmed the fundamental principle of equal rights to participation and representation for all party members in Kogi State.
Governor Bello emphasized that within the APC, there exists a level playing field where every member has equal access to the numerous opportunities offered by the party. He underscored the absence of hierarchy or privilege when it comes to participation within the party.
Prof Stephen Ocheni, former Minister of Labour and Productivity; Barrister Dangana Ocheja, the former senator representing Kogi East; Barrister Eke Maimuna Audu, daughter of the former governor of the state; and Hon Duro Meseko, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC were part of the contingent at the visit.
