….says all aspirants should prepare for congress

The Captain Joe Agada for Kogi State PDP Chairman media team has noted with amusement, the purported endorsement over the weekend of two desperate aspirants.

The media team tagged as outrageous and a hilarious joke, the purported claims by some quarters that a certain Hon. Tony Amego and Hon. Mona Anyiebe have both been endorsed for the same position of Kogi PDP State party chairman by Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, former Governor of Kogi State.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Captain Joe Agada media team said it is laughable that the aspirants involved in this joke, rather than gear up for elections at the congress, are in desperate mode, shopping for a non-existent endorsement.

“What is clearly demonstrated now has justified Capt. Joe Agada’s stance that the coveted State chairmanship is no longer an exclusive preserve of His Excellency, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris to dispense to anybody, rather such power has been given to the elected delegates from the 21LGA and 239 wards and that was why in his wisdom, His Excellency, Alhaji Ibrahim made it abundantly clear that he has no preferred candidate. ‘Baba said is not from him’ but anybody who wins from the field becomes his Chairman and that he has no preferences.

“It is also on record that Captain Joe Agada never attended any meeting in Alhaji Ibrahim’s house to support a kangaro endorsement arrangement,” the statement read.

The media team said it is disappointed in the commotion at play where two different aspirants are claiming to have been endorsed for the same exclusive position at the same time by one man.

“In setting the records straight, it needs to be established clearly that the narratives about such endorsement claim can be likened to Kunle Bamtefa’s Fuji house of commotion.

“It is imperative to note that all those fronting the purported but now discredited consensus endorsement are mostly our anti party returnee leaders previously as DG ACCORD party alias Akpabana or frontline SDP promoters after their candidate defected to APGA and all of them are now wanting to nominate their anti party surrogates into PDP Exco to again compromise and abandon the party in 2027 to their new paymasters.

“Captain Joe Agada media team invites all to note that the position of State party chairman is too critical at a time like this for anyone to be going about laying claims to any imaginary endorsement. It is in the best interest of the party for every candidate to test his or her popularity at the polls, Captain Joe Agada,” media team further said.
