Barely one month to the governorship election in Kogi state, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ankpa Local Government Area, Yahaya Ododo, has resigned his party membership and joined the Action Alliance, saying his decision was anchored on the need to enshrine equity, fairness and justice in the governorship chronicles of the state.

This was contained in a statement issued Monday morning by Yahaya Ododo in Lokoja.

In his remarks, Omale, who is a retired military officer said the present administration in Kogi State got to Lugard House by accident, pointing out that it is the time of Kogi-West to produce the next governor of the state.

According to him, among all the governorship candidates, only Otunba Braimoh has a rich manifesto that can lift the state out of poverty that has ravaged it for years.

The statement reads in part, “I have been in the politics of Kogi Stste for long, I have worked for the former Minister for Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Bayo Ojo, former Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Olushola Akanmode and we are ready to work for you.

“The party has continued to receive decampees from various Parties including a Stalwart of PDP in Ojoku Ward, Hon. Samuel Omale, and his teaming supporters. Also, some members of the All Progressives Congress defected to AA, saying they were committed to realizing the wealth creation program of the governorship Candidate”. He said.

In the same vein, a former PDP stalwart in Ojoku ward, Mr Samuel Omale, who recently joined AA tasked the new members to go to the nooks and crannies of the local government to canvas support for Otunba Olayinka Braimoh and his running mate, Alhaji Yahaya Tijani Imam.

Braimoh, in his response, told the new party members, as well as his supporters at the defection ceremony that he is on an assignment to raise Kogi State and its people from poverty, with his STAT Agenda which includes; Solid Minerals Development, Trade, Agriculture, Trade and Tourism.

he added that his Agenda for the state will bring food to the table of all in the state, noting that Kogi state is not supposed to be poor with abundant human and natural resources.

He solicited more support from the Ankpa electorate in his bid to rescue the state from poverty
