Stakeholders and Elders of the All Progress Congress (APC) in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi state have accused the embattled State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Haddi Ametuo and Senator Mohammed Ohiare of embarrassing them by their alleged attempt to smear the name and office of the state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello with the purported vote of no confidence letter to the National Secretariat of APC.
The APC stakeholders are said to be working on the possibility of suspending the two political leaders in the area.
The Secretary of the party in the local government, Comrade Banabas Oyibo told the supporters and party faithful at the stakeholders meeting that Adavi people are fully in support of governor Yahaya Bello contrary to the impression created in some media organisations.
He said that the local government chapter was disturbed by the anti-party activities of their two sons who supposed to be good ambassadors of the Ebiras and the entire senatorial District.
“We have put machinery in motion to investigate them and once the report is out and they are found guilty, we will outrightly suspend them from our party because they have brought shame to our land.”
One of the Chieftains of APC who spoke at the meeting at Ogaminana, the head quarters of the Local government, Alhaji Abdulmumuni Okara said the council has produced eminent politicians in the past and as well suffered untold hardship, occasioned by the incessant political crises.
He said that people of Adavi can not afford to pass through another round of crises even as he appealed to the stakeholders to call the duo of Haddi Ametuo and Senator Ohiare to order.
He stressed that their actions are against the progress of Ebira people and is capable of causing endless crises in Adavi and the entire land.
Okara who is the Special Adviser to the governor on MDGs, appealed to the party supporters and loyalists to always work harmoniously and give their unalloyed support to the governor to enable him transform the state.
The Local government council, Chairman, Alhaji Salihu Adaviriku described the governor as a man of transparent character, adding that he had done creditably well by granting Local government autonomy, fighting the dreaded ghost workers sydrome, rehabilitating of Ekuku dam as well as constructing Agassa/Upogoro road.
Political Appointees from Okene, the heart of Ebira Land, insisted that governor Yahaya Bello in keeping to his principle of equity and fairness, has been spreading appointment to four different districts of the local government and is determined to bring the dividends of democracy to all parts of the State.
They wondered why some few individuals in the area are opposed to the good intentions of the Governor, saying that they will not sit and watch some selfish politicians destroy the blessing which God had brought to them in the person of governor Yahaya Bello.
They called on party faithfuls to spread the good work the governor has already started. They assured that all antics by self seeking politicians will be resisted and enjoined right thinking people of Ebiraland to support the governor whose desire and focus is to see a new Kogi State.
The APC stakeholders said thet the solidarity meeting was to demonstrate their support for the present administration to enable it actualise its lofty programs for the people of the State. [myad]
