Kogi APC Leader Urges Former Deputy Governor to Support Senate Candidate Erico

Aminu Attah, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, has asked former Deputy Governor Edward Onoja to support Chief Joseph Ameh Erico, the party’s candidate for the Kogi East Senate seat. Attah made this request on Tuesday, expressing concern that Onoja has not done enough to rally support for Erico.

Attah warned that Onoja’s lack of enthusiasm could harm the party’s unity and its chances in the upcoming election. He emphasized that all party members should work together for every candidate, not just focus on President Bola Tinubu. He described this selective support as a sign of indiscipline within the party.

Attah stated, “The only way we can be sure of genuine reconciliation between Edward Onoja and Yahaya Bello is for everyone to work for the party’s victory across all candidates.” He criticized those who only support Tinubu and urged them to engage with local voters to back all APC candidates.

He also addressed concerns that Onoja might oppose Erico because they both come from Olamaboro Local Government Area. Attah dismissed these worries, saying that a candidate’s success would not affect Onoja’s chances for future appointments. He reassured that appointments would be based on merit, not regional ties.
