Yagba belongs to the Almighty God and
no man at all. Chief Samuel Akande a Former Deputy Governor of Kogi State has
equalled himself to God over the forthcoming Senatorial Election in Kogi West
Senatorial District.
Chief Sam Akande should stop
destabilizing PDP in Yagba. Recently it was discovered that the Septuagenarian
is on his own (without consultation with anybody whatsoever) has singularly
Zoned various Federal Representatives Positions in Yagba , especially the
Senate, to Local Governments where his stooges hail from. This was done without
any consultation whatsoever. The Former Deputy Governor who has arrogated to
himself the Overlord in Yagba is currently hatching plans to selfishly zone
Senate his self anointed.
The same Chief Akande has forgotten that
in 2006, he contested the PDP Kogi West Senatorial District Primary Election
with Senator Smart Adeyemi, H.E. Arc. Yomi Awoniyi, Chief Sola Ojo and Hon. T.J
Faniyi. In the said Primary Election, the Overlord forgot about Zoning, he did
not even consider the interest of his nephew, H.E. Arc. Yomi Awoniyi and his
godson, Chief Shola Ojo. Why did he not subject his ambition to Zoning then?
Why has he all of a sudden become an advocate of Zoning? Why should be Zoning
be done unilaterally by Him?
What is even more worrisome is that
it has become crystal clear that the Political goodwill and political fortunes
of the Septuagenarian has been completely deflated. This was illustrated in the
recently conducted PDP Ward and Local Government Congresses held last week in
all the Wards and Local Governments Kogi State. In the said Congress, His
Excellency, Chief Sam Akande was said to have ordered a Shadow Election for the
PDP Local Government Chairmanship Election in MopaAmuro Local Government. The
Local Government Chairmanship had been zoned to Mopa and Baba ordered that it
be conducted in his own residence in Mopa, where he and his Son, Mr. Dayo
Akande, were delegates. They lost woefully to the surprise of everybody. Does
it now mean that the former Deputy Governor of the State under the platform of
National Republican Party (NRC), has lost his political goodwill in his Home?
This is disturbing.
As if the foregoing is not enough,
the Septuagenarian is currently organizing secret nocturnal meetings with Yagba
Elders in order to hatch his selfish plan of anointing his solely appointed
stooge as the PDP Candidate from Yagba in the 2019 Senatorial Election. This is
unfortunate. This deflated politician should not be allowed to divide our Party
on the altar of selfishness. No doubt Kogi West Senatorial District and indeed
Yagba needs leadership, but it must come from popular and selfless Elder
Statesmen , which Chief Akande is fast showing himself not to belong to that
class. His Excellency should therefore be advised not to allow his selfish
ambition and motives destroy our Party in the forthcoming elections.
The Party Leadership both at the
State and Senatorial District level have on the basis of equity and fairness
zoned Senate to Yagba, every son and daughter of Yagba should be allowed to
veer for that office. No man however seemingly powerful should arrogate to
himself the duty of anointing any candidate or imposing same on us.
