The endorsement was made on Saturday at a well-attended rally held at the Open Field of Community Primary School, Odo-Ape, headquarters of Bunu District.
Bunu District, which comprises six wards out of the 15 wards in Kabba/Bunu LGA – Akutupa-Kiri, Aiyetoro-Kiri (Aiyetoro Gbede), Iluke, Olle/Oke-Offin, Oke-Bukun and Odo-Ape wards, hinged its decision on what it described as effective leadership, quality representation and visible dividends of democracy.
Addressing the mammoth crowd, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Hon. Durosinmi Meseko, charged the people of Bunu District to vote massively for President Tinubu and Senator Karimi in the 2027 general election.
Hon. Meseko said Bunu District and Kogi West in general have benefited immensely from the Renewed Hope administration of President Tinubu in areas of infrastructure, economic reforms, student loans and social interventions, assuring that more dividends are on the way if the President is re-elected.
The APC chieftain, who is a proud son of Bunu, noted that President Tinubu’s bold reforms, though challenging, have started yielding positive results with improved foreign reserves, stabilization of the economy, attraction of foreign investments and renewed confidence in Nigeria’s economy.
Hon. Meseko further urged the people of Bunu District to stand firmly with Senator Karimi, insisting that his representation has changed the narrative of legislative representation in Kogi West and deserves a second term to consolidate on his achievements.
He described the recent influx of former PDP governors into the APC as a clear testimony of the confidence Nigerians now have in President Tinubu’s vision, mission and policies for the country.
Speaking through his representative, Hon. Folorunsho Braimoh, Hon. Meseko assured that Bunu District will surpass votes from other LGAs in Kogi West Senatorial District for president Tinubu in 2027, stressing that the district remains a stronghold of progressive politics.
In his remarks, Senator Sunday Karimi thanked the people of Bunu District for their overwhelming endorsement of President Tinubu and himself, stating that the re-election of President Tinubu is sacrosanct considering his impact on Nigerians and on Kogi State in particular.
Senator Karimi listed some of his accomplishments since assuming office in 2023 to include: scholarship and educational support for over 200 students across Kogi West, women empowerment through cooperative societies with grants, sinking of solar-powered boreholes across all six wards of Bunu District, reconstruction of the long-abandoned Pakuta Bridge linking Bunu communities, renovation of blocks of classrooms in several schools, provision of transformers to electrify rural communities, facilitation of employment opportunities for youths, and distribution of palliatives and farm inputs to farmers.
He also highlighted some of President Tinubu’s notable achievements including removal of fuel subsidy to free funds for development, introduction of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), clearance of foreign exchange backlog, massive road infrastructure projects including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Highway, increased allocation to states and local governments, agricultural interventions and renewed fight against insecurity.
Earlier, the Chairman of Bunu District, Pastor Obayomi Lawrence, appreciated Senator Karimi for his unprecedented interventions in the district. He lauded the Senator for the student support programme where over 200 students have benefited, women empowerment, boreholes across all wards, the Pakuta bridge project, renovation of schools and classrooms, and provision of transformers, reiterating the resolve of Bunu people to deliver 100 percent votes for President Tinubu and Senator Karimi.
Other speakers including Dr. Ola Elijah Olorunshua, Comrade Bayo Oyenibi Owojola, and Hon. Esther Balogun, described President Tinubu and Senator Karimi as leaders who have done well for the nation and for Kogi West. They called on all Nigerians to massively support their re-election.
