The dismal performance as evidenced by uninspiring senatorial results from Kogi West was a product electoral malpractices.
We discovered that there was massive rigging by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in our area. Our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) was shortchanged.
The outcome of the compromised presidential and national assembly elections in Kogi West has left APC leaders from the area in agony and frustration. We could have done better!
We, therefore, tender an unreserved apology to the Executive Governor, Alh. Yahaya Bello over the outcome of last Presidential and National Assembly Elections in Kogi West.
We are meeting to restrategize on making sure we come victorious in the up coming elections.
We also apologize to our colleagues from the other Senatorial districts particularly the Chief of Staff, Hon. Edward Onoja for the unfounded allegations leveled against is person.
We however promise to brace up and take a firm decision to correct the anomalies of the past in the next coming State Assembly election.
On a final note, having tendered apology to all concerned, we call on all APC members in the state, all stakeholders, all political appointees to desist from passing blames and abuses across board against each other. We are to be in unity and not display our ignorance in the public any further.
Signed:
Alh. Isah Taufiq.
Chairman, Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kogi State Chapter.
