Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the November 11 governorship election in Kogi State, Leke Abejide, has asked candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye, and that of the Action Alliance (AA), Olayinka Braimoh to look at the merit of his endorsement by Kogi West elders and support him to ensure power rotation to the West in the election.
He made the appeal yesterday during a meeting at his campaign headquarters in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
Recall that some elders from Kogi West had endorsed Abejide as the consensus candidate for the zone as a way of ensuring power rotates to the zone.
Abejide said, “This must have informed their unanimous decision to bless my candidacy. I appeal to my co-contestants and fellow Okun kinsmen like the PDP candidate, Senator Dino Melaye and the African Alliance (AA) candidate, Olayinka Braimoh to look at the merits of my endorsement in the wisdom of our elders.

“They should join hands with me in ensuring the actualisation of power shift to Kogi West in January 2024.
“The endorsement is aimed at reducing the number of candidates from Kogi West, thereby increasing the chances of our senatorial zone in the election. Kogi West has never produced a governor of Kogi State in over 32 years of its creation and the 2023 poll provides us a good opportunity if we all work together.
“By God’s grace, we will all be alive to witness November 11. Then we shall validate the most popular and most acceptable candidate in the broad spectrum of Kogi State.”
