President Tinubu, Gov. Ododo’s Endorsement In Kogi; “Panic, Self-Serving Rally Organised By GYB, Smart.” – Senator Karimi
By Abubakar Suleman
The senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Sunday Karimi, has said the people of Kogi State do not need to be harassed before voting for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
The senator who reacted to the endorsement rally for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman held in Lokoja by the All Progressives Congress, (APC), led by former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello and Senator Smart Adeyemi, who served as the chairman of the rally committee.
According to a statement issued yesterday by the Media Officer of Senators Sunday Karimi, Busayo Tosin, stated that Senator Karimi noted that it was insensitive, unnecessary and preemptive to have organised a rally which kept people beneath the blazing sun, in the name of an election which is still over one year ahead.
Sen. Karimi said the people of Kogi State do not need to be coerced into re-electing the President, the people of Kogi State already appreciate Mr President. They can see what he is doing to make life better for them. He has increased allocations to the state and the local government areas; he has recognised Kogi sons and daughters by way of appointments; work is progressing gradually on development projects across the state.”
He further said President Tinubu will be unbeatable come 2027. The support for him is evident in the swollen numbers that are joining the movement for his continuation in office after 2027 by the day. Stakeholders who love him should ensure that his best intentions are translated to the pockets and dining tables of Nigerians. That is the least we can do to support his good heart,” he said.
Sen. Karimi noted that the Kogi State electorate is too mature, too civilised and too sophisticated to be marched out like school children in the name of what he described as a “panic, self-serving rally.”
President Tinubu, he restated, has courageously touched on the nation’s developmental fundamentals and earned popular support to continue in office after 2027.
“We are not in the Stone Age. Kogi West alone has over 12 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs). Politicians should stop misrepresenting our people as primitives,” Karimi said.
Recall that the APC in Kogi State, on Saturday unanimously endorsed President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the Kogi State Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo for a second term in office in 2027.
