Kogi Guber 2023 : NRM Gov’ship candidate, Idrisu canvasses for Kogi Unity Forum before future elections.
By Abubakar S. H
Governorship Candidate of the National Rescue Movement, (NRM), Mallam Balla Abdulgafar Idirisu has appealed to the people of Kogi state to organise a Unity Forum, where crucial matters affecting the wellbeing of the state can be tabled for deliberation.
Mallam Idirisu who is among the 5 candidates of political parties that collapsed its structure for the APC Governorship Candidate, Ahmed Usman Ododo, said until the whole state come together politically on a round table, mutual fear of domination and marginalization will persist.
The NRM candidate who was fielding questions in an interview with Journalists, said, ” Kogi is like the centre of Nigeria with many ethnic groups and tribes making it difficult and tough for the desired rancour free politicking.”
He therefore suggested a Unity Forum as the only solution that can bring about unity among the ethnic groups and tribes resident in Kogi state to bring about mutual peaceful coexistence.
” For a progressive Kogi state, a sincere Unity Forum should be organised for the future of the state and its generations yet unborn,” the governorship candidate said.
He however admonished the people of Lokoja not to despair, but remain resolute in their political participations adding that their usual co-operation has made others.
He reminded the people of Lokoja that they are in Kogi West, but for long they have not attained governorship or even Senate, therefore urged them to be more determined to try their strength through cooperation with other people across the state.
” It is time for Lokoja to spring up and seek cooperation with others for the purpose of future elections. We should support zoning formula for future elections”. Idrisu stated.
