‎DEMAND FOR EQUITY: ZONING OF LOKOJA I STATE CONSTITUENCY HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY TICKET TO WARD A AND ENDORSEMENT OF HON. IBRAHIM OSITE MOMOH ‎


The State Chairman,
‎All Progressives Congress (APC)
‎Kogi State Chapter
‎Lokoja, Kogi State


‎Dear Sir,

‎DEMAND FOR EQUITY: ZONING OF LOKOJA I STATE CONSTITUENCY HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY TICKET TO WARD A AND ENDORSEMENT OF HON. IBRAHIM OSITE MOMOH

‎We, the undersigned elders, youth leaders, women leaders, and stakeholders of the Egbira community in Ward A, Lokoja LGA, write to your esteemed office with respect and a sense of urgency.

‎*1. The Case for Ward A*
‎Since the return to democracy in 1999, Lokoja I State Constituency has produced Members of the Kogi State House of Assembly from [Ward B, Ward C, Ward D], but Ward A — despite being the Egbiras most populous tribe with over registered voters — has never been given the opportunity. This violates the spirit of equity, fairness, and rotation that our great party, the APC, stands for.

‎*2. Ward A’s Loyalty to APC*
‎Egbiras in Ward A has remained the strongest base of the APC in Lokoja LGA. In the 2023 General Elections, Ward A delivered votes, representing 40% of total APC votes in Lokoja LGA. We host the party secretariat and have never wavered in our support.

‎*3. Why Hon. Ibrahim Osite
‎After extensive consultations, the entire Egbira Lokoja community of Ward A has unanimously resolved to present *Hon. Ibrahim Osite momoh * as our consensus candidate. His credentials include:
‎- Proven grassroots connection — he lives among us and understands our pains.
‎- Unblemished loyalty to APC since.
‎- Capacity to win the general election and give Lokoja quality representation.

‎Our Prayers:
‎1. That the APC Kogi State, under your able leadership, zones the Lokoja I State Constituency ticket to Ward A for the 2027 elections in the interest of justice.
‎2. That Hon. Ibrahim Osite be adopted as the party’s candidate, having been endorsed by the entire Ward A structure.

‎Sir, justice delayed is justice denied. To continue to marginalize Ward A is to risk the votes and goodwill we have built for APC over the years. We are confident that with OSITE as candidate, APC will not only win Lokoja I but will win it convincingly.

‎We request an audience with you at your earliest convenience to further present our case.

‎Please accept the assurances of our highest regard.

‎Yours faithfully,

‎Concerned Egbira Lokoja community stakeholders

‎CC:
‎1. The APC Chairman, Lokoja LGA
‎2. His Excellency, The Executive Governor of Kogi State
‎3. Hon. Jibril Ibrahim (JIBO)
Ebira political leader
