All Progressive Congress APC Leaders and stakeholders in Kogi state at the weekend endorsed the governorship aspiration of Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Dr Babatunde Irukera ahead of the party’s primary election on Thursday.
Immediate past speaker of Kogi House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Imam Umar described Irukera as the best among the APC aspirants jostling for the party’s ticket to the Nov. 16 governorship election.
“We have the same philosophy in politics which is good governance. We are not out to insult anybody. Our politics is clean politics. We are going to start experiencing good leadership and what is good in Kogi State. Irukera is a man of strong character, unalloyed capacity and competence. I think these features will set him apart from other aspirants.”
The former speaker said one of the leadership peculiar attributes about Irukera is his closeness to the people and that Irukera declaring is not a sudden orchestrated ambition and the service call is neither surprising as well.
Also speaking earlier, the APC State Women Leader, Hajia Fatima Allah-Dey urged women to come out and fight for their freedom and the future of their children saying that they had spent too much time in the dark.
The women leader said women had suffered enough following political leaders who did not know their worth adding, “Come out into the light. We have been gropping in darkness, bulldozing our ways in the wrong direction, tight your belt and fight for your freedom.”
