A former senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Senator Smart Adeyemi, has threatened to work against the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) if the incumbent Governor, Yahaya Bello is not given the ticket of the party to pursue his second term ambition come November 16th 2019.
Senator Adeyemi made this disclosure on Thursday at a meeting of the All Progressive Congress stakeholders’ forum held in Lokoja.
The former federal lawmaker disclosed that the political destiny of Kogi West Senatorial district lies in the return of the governor.
According to him, for fairness, justice and equity, Gov Bello is the best for the APC in November.
He further stated that, “Other senatorial districts have ruled Kogi State for two terms. Now a brother from Kogi central, who has done very well in his first tenure; should also be given another opportunity.
“If Gov. Bello is given the opportunity to lead us for another four years, I am convinced that we in the West will rule Kogi State.
“I am using this medium to beg our party leaders not to make the mistake of allowing one to change a winning team in Kogi State. Those who say APC cannot win Kogi under Bello are not God, because he is covenant child. If Governor Bello is denied the APC ticket, some of us might be forced to work against the party.”
