Kogi Central APC Stakeholders Kick Against Imposition of Unpopular Candidate Endorse Obaro
By AbdulRahman Obaje
The Kogi Central All Progressive Congress APC, has endorsed Chief Momoh Yusuf Obaro, kicking against imposition of any unpopular candidate.
In a statement widely circulated and received by Informavores Nigeria Newspaper, the statement read that the, “the collective body of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi Central Senatorial District—comprising youths, women leaders, and respected traditional rulers—has unanimously endorsed Chief Momoh Yusuf Obaro as the preferred candidate for the Kogi Central Senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a strongly worded statement issued on Saturday, April 18, the group described Chief Obaro as a loyal party stalwart, a grassroots mobilizer, and a man of proven integrity who has remained consistent in his commitment to the growth and unity of the APC in Kogi Central and beyond.
According to the stakeholders, the endorsement of Chief Obaro is a reflection of the collective will of the people, borne out of extensive consultations across the five local government areas in the district. They emphasized that his candidacy represents fairness, inclusivity, and the genuine aspirations of party members who have long yearned for credible and people-oriented representation.
The group, however, raised serious concerns over what it described as subtle moves by certain interests to impose an unpopular candidate on the people, warning that such actions could have grave consequences for the party’s fortunes in the district and the state at large.
“We call on the national leadership of our great party and His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to intervene decisively to protect the democratic values of the APC in Kogi Central. The era of imposition must give way to the will of the people,” the statement read.
The stakeholders further cautioned that any attempt to sideline the popular choice of the people may trigger widespread disaffection, voter apathy, and protest votes that could undermine not only the senatorial election but also the overall electoral strength of the party in 2027.
“Chief Momoh Yusuf Obaro is our consensus choice. He embodies the trust, capacity, and connection required to deliver quality representation. Any attempt to impose an unpopular candidate will be resisted democratically by the people, even if it means casting protest votes,” the group declared.
Reaffirming their loyalty to the APC, the stakeholders urged party leaders at all levels to prioritize unity, fairness, and internal democracy as key pillars for sustaining electoral success.
They concluded by calling on all party members and supporters in Kogi Central to remain vigilant, united, and committed to the collective goal of ensuring credible representation and the continued progress of the party.
