A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Kogi State and former Kogi West Senatorial Aspirant, under the platform of the party, Dr. Toyin Akanle, says the ruling party in Kogi State, has under-performed and has no hope of winning the next governorship election in the state, come 2023.
Our Kogi State Correspondent reports that Akanle, a retired Assistant Director-General, Department of State Services, DSS, made the statement during a meeting of Team Akanle Political Movement, held at Isanlu, headquarters of Yagba East Local Government Area.
He argued that the APC has yet to meet the promises made to the people of Kogi State and Nigerians at large, pointing out that, victory for the party would be “a hard nut to crack” as the Nation approaches the next general elections.
While noting that there are worse stories of the maladministration under the APC regime in Kogi State, the retired Assistant Director-General of DSS, added: “No amount of intimidation can silence me from speaking the truth about the Government of Kogi State”.
"That l am a member of the APC, will not close my eyes and mouth. We simply have not done well, period. So being the Party in power is not an automatic joker in 2023. To win, we will have to import angelic canvassers.
“Let the truth be told. And for sure, the threats of their guns cannot shut me up. And for the efforts and attempts currently being made to silence some of us through the barrels of the gun, continue in your search for our location. Your intimidation can only silence cowards.
"Death is but once. Those who fear death, die several times before the actual death comes. So that you may know that we know," he declared.
According to him, the people of Kogi State are currently in a state of dissolution and have never had it so bad in terms of Infrastructure, welfare of civil servants and security among others.
He noted that Local Government Staffers, have suffered untold hardship in the current administration, with the payment of percentage salary.
Dr. Akanle, stated that payment of percentage salary to workers at the grassroots, has paralyzed businesses at the rural areas, which have the largest population.
Dr. Akanle, maintained that the lack of genuine reconciliation in APC, especially the fallout of the 2019 general elections and the last Ward and Local Government Congresses, posed great danger for the party.
