The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will today storm Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, to commence the party’s governorship campaign rally.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) is expected to lead the APC governorship campaign to Kogi in the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari who is away on official assignment in India.
APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the APC governor and other top party chieftains are also expected to officially kick off the Prince Abubakar Audu APC governorship campaign rally in Kogi.
Leader of the 20-man All Progressives Congress (APC) National Election Committee for the Kogi State gubernatorial election campaign, Alhaji Sani Abubakar Bello, will on Friday arrive in the state capital, Lokoja.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun had three weeks ago inaugurated the APC 20-member National Election Committee, headed by the Niger State governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, at the party national secretariat in Abuja, charging them to deliver Kogi from the hands of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Oyegun said the Kogi governorship election must be won to confirm that the party’s winning streak in the last general election was not a fluke.
“We have an enormous task ahead of us. All hands must be on deck to ensure that our party carries the day on the November 21 governorship election date in Kogi State,” he was quoted to have said.
Other members of the APC National Election Committee to Kogi include governors of the middle belt states and the party’s National Deputy Chairman (North Central) as well as APC governors from the North Central region, who have been charged to evolve a winning formula for the party in the forthcoming election.
Daniel Isah (Prof.), the Director General of the Prince Abubakar Audu Governorship Campaign Organisation, is also part of the APC National Election Committee to Kogi as Secretary General.
