By Joel Samuel
Ahead of November 12th governorship election in kogi state, a social cultural group, Udama Igala, has endorsed the candidature of the Accord party, Rtd Vice Admiral Usman Oyibe Jubrin.
The group disclosed their decision in a statement signed by its National President, Mr. Sule Salifu, and made available to Journalists on Tuesday in Lokoja.
According to the statement, the group faulted the purported committee led by Arch Gabriel Aduku, who recently endorse a consensus candidate for Igala people, describing it as “a kangaroo arrangement”.
Stating further that Aduku who was sacked as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without spending even a year in office, has no public trust to present a consensus candidate for the Igala race.
He said the endorsement which took place at Anyigba came as Udama Igala mobilised five persons each across the nine local government areas.
According to Salifu, Udama Igala is a combination of so many socio-cultural associations which cut across the the nine LGAs in Igalaland.
He said that Admiral Jibrin’s endorsement by Udama Igala was as a result of his wide level of experience, competency, capacity and strength to pilot the leadership of Kogi State.
