Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has commended Saturday’s hitch-free Local Government congresses which witnessed the election of leaders of the All Progressive Congress across the twenty-one LG areas of the state.
The governor in a press statement on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Muhammed Onogwu after the conclusion of the much peaceful exercise noted that the Kogi state has since become a perfect emblem of peaceful politics in the country.
Governor Bello said the local government Congress just like the recently held ward congresses adopted a consensus system in selecting the leaders at all levels putting in consideration, the choice and the will of the party members hence there were largely reports of fanfare in all the local government.
While thanking the party members for their continued cooperation in sustaining a peaceful, united and strong political party in the state, he noted that since his leadership the APC has continued to wax stronger and have conquered unprecedented terrain while it also recorded geometric increase in its numbers.
Governor Bello asserted that a large amount of the success could be adjudged to be as a result of the style of leadership in which the people were given the desired role to make their choices while his administration provided a fair, just and equitable leadership.
The party leader urged the elected Executives to ensure that they justified the confidence reposed in them while they strived to maintain peaceful co-existence in the party to enable the party to become more desirable to many others.
