’Battle line has been drawn’ – Jibrin dares Kogi Gov after losing Senate return ticket

Kogi East Senator, Jibrin Isah, dares Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo after losing out in the All Progressives Congress, APC primaries.

Speaking after the exercise, Isah said the battle line has been drawn between himself and the Governor.
‎
He  alleged irregularities during the exercise, accusing government agents of hijacking electoral materials meant for the primary election.
‎
‎The lawmaker said he arrived at his ward to cast his vote but discovered that no electoral officer showed up, noting that similar situations were recorded in many other wards across the district.
‎
He further alleged that the absence of electoral officials and voting materials prevented party members from participating in the process in several affected areas.
‎
‎According to him, the development was a deliberate attempt to frustrate his supporters and influence the outcome of the primary election.
‎
‎The senator further stated that the projects he has executed across Kogi East would guarantee victory for candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), including the President, in the senatorial district.
‎
‎He said he had remained loyal to Governor Ododo and the leadership of the party, but wondered why he was being treated in such a manner despite his commitment and contributions to the APC.
‎
‎He alleged that the governor went against him because he (Ododo) was told that he (Jubril) would contest the gubernatorial election against him. “Well, with the latest development, I will now contest for the governorship position against Governor Ododo when the time comes,” he said.
