Faleke’s posters, challenging Yahaya Bello, flood APC National Secretariat
Ahead of August 2019 Kogi state governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former running-mate to late Abubakar Audu and a Lagos state House of Representative member-elect, James Faleke, has joined the race to replace governor Yahaya Bello.
It is authoritative that Faleke’s governorship posters have already flooded the national secretariat of the APC, located at Blantyre street, Wuse 11, Abuja.
Visit to the party house on Wednesday, signified colourful posters already strategically pasted from the main entrance round about the building.
Although the national secretariat seemed deserted but few staff and other party members around appeared happy about the development with some of them seen in groups discussing the matter.
A senior members of the party who spoke on condition of anonymity described the move as a welcome development.
He said: “Remember that Falake was on a joint ticket with the late Audu. He has right and qualifies to contest. So, the primary election will be a tough one,” the APC staff stated.
Earlier, the incumbent governor Yahaya Bello had declared his intention to seek the party’s ticket to contest for a second term in Abuja.
