Igala Stakeholders across the 9 Local Governments in KOGI East Senatorial District, at the weekend, endorsed and declared total support for the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party Mr Peter Obi and his Vice, Dr Baba Ahmed Datti Yusuf, at a stakeholders meeting which held at Swiss Pearl Continental Hotel, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja on Saturday, 3rd December, 2022.
The Convener of the Group, who spoke on behalf of members, Comrade Sunday Bala Oma spoke extensively how they arrived at the decision, which was premised on equity, fairness, justice and competence. In his words; When the call was made by Igala Stakeholders both home and in the diaspora, to rally round one of the frontline Candidates. It will surprise you to know that neither Bola Tinubu nor Atiku had a single vote. As Mr Peter Obi overwhelmingly got the entire nod of the stakeholders.
The decision to support Mr Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti became necessary, having watched keenly, how the Igala Nation has contributed to both the APC led government as well as past Administrations under PDP.
Sadly, the leadership at the centre have not replicated same, and the outcome is visible for all to see. From under developing our region, to neglecting us, in terms of critical appointments at the Federal level. But with Mr Peter Obi and Ahmed Datti, we believe the interest of the Igala nation will be addressed, which will result in massive development of our region once again.
Furthermore, Bala Oma reiterated the Groups commitment to ensure both Mr Peter Obi and Dr Yusuf Datti emerge victorious come February, 2023. Resolutions arrived at, include; To work together to achieve the ObiDatti Presidency. To mobilize the grassroot in conjunction with Labour Party, to ensure victory for all other Labour Party Candidates. As well as explore all possible mechanisms to strengthen the Labour party in KOGI state
