NCWS rallies SDP as ADC seeks improved Kogi politics.

Ahead of Kogi State gubernatorial election scheduled to hold on November 16, some stakeholders have expressed interest to join force with African Democratic Congress (ADC) to oust the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the incumbent governor, Mr. Yahaya Bello. The stakeholders, comprising youths, elders and women leaders among others, spoke when a coalition of credible governorship contenders across various local governments met with ADC National Chairman, Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu.
They said their mission was to work out a pact with the party to deliver the state from the stranglehold of APC, Governor Bello and other political jobbers. However, the question they could not answer is whether such a partnership under ADC would be strong enough to either stop the ruling party or displace the machinery of the major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The understanding comes on the heels of a similar resolution by Kogi women and National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) to support the female gubernatorial candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ms Natasha Akpoti, who contested Kogi Central Senatorial Seat in 2019. She clinched SDP’s ticket unopposed, thereby raising concerns as to what would become of her Senatorial mandate if she also wins the governorship.
