The APC crisis in Kogi state has taken a new dimension with Buhari forwarding the  name of an outsider Hajiya Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu. The former APC women leader, as the ministerial nominee representing  Kogi state, against  Hajia Salamatu Baiwa the current National Women leader of the APC and Governor Yahaya Bello’s choices. THE OBSERVERS TIMES can authoritatively report that the governor forwarded the name of Professor Stephen Ocheni and Asiwaju Asiru Idris.

There has no been love lost among the two APC leaders from Kogi state with Yahaya Bello doing all he can to ensure that Hajia Salamtu Baiwa regret working against the fingers that feed her, Bello whose camp claimed to have worked for the emergence of Hajia Salamtu Baiwa as the National women leader of the APC. It is believe that she (Baiwa) is working against the second term of Yahaya Bello, who has not just failed in delivering good governance but also a gross disappointment to the new generation in politics.
THE OBSERVERS TIMES also gathered that the government of Kogi state is not just working against the Hajia Baiwa ministerial interest but also ensuring that his younger brother Hon Hassan Baiwa, who is the current house of Representatives member representing Dekina/Bassa Federal constituency is defeated at Tribunal, with a strong rumour that the state government prefers Benjamin Ikani Okolo of the PDP than having Hassan Bawia the younger brother of the National women leader representing that constituent.
THE OBSERVERS TIMES  reports that the nominee of from Kogi west as minister is a blessing in disguise to those seeking for the APC ticket for Kogi East Wth the region pushing for the APC guber ticket, the development has also confirmed that the APC is looking into Kogi East for the flag bearer considering the fact that both governor and minister cant come from the same senatorial zone, with the nomination of Hajia Ramatu as the ministerial nominee from Kogi state, the chance of Bello getting APC ticket is now very slim.
