Kogi: Faleke-Audu loyalists urged to pursue political goals through party structures

All Progressives Congress (APC) Network Movement in Kogi has called on members of the Audu/Faleke political family to work through the party’s established structures and maintain unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group’s coordinator, Ogungbemi Olusola, made the appeal in a statement expressing concern over alleged political activities associated with the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), which he said could create divisions within the Kogi APC chapter.

Olusola urged Hon. James Faleke and other political stakeholders to ensure that support groups operating in the names of political leaders align their activities with the interests and structures of the APC.

He said Governor Usman Ododo, the party’s leader in Kogi State, had maintained an inclusive approach to governance and called on party members to support efforts to strengthen unity ahead of the elections.

“We are calling on Hon. James Faleke to ensure these individuals do not drag his name in the mud, especially after the immense sacrifices he has made for the party in Kogi State,” Olusola said.

He also expressed concern over reports of political engagements involving members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi East and Kogi West, as well as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi Central, urging APC members to resolve their differences through dialogue and established party channels.

Olusola said the movement remained committed to supporting President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

“The APC is firmly entrenched on the ground and has put robust structures in place to secure maximum victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our candidates,” he said.

The coordinator also appealed to members of the Audu/Faleke political family to uphold the legacy of the late Prince Abubakar Audu, whom he described as a committed founding member of the APC.

He urged political stakeholders to prioritise the party’s collective interests and avoid actions that could deepen internal disagreements.

Olusola further called on Faleke to encourage his supporters to work with the Kogi APC leadership, stressing the importance of cooperation among party members across the state.

He said the movement believed that sustained engagement, respect for party structures and internal cohesion would strengthen the APC’s preparations for the forthcoming elections.

The group reiterated its appeal to the Audu/Faleke political family and other stakeholders to work within the APC framework to advance the party’s objectives in Kogi.
