He said his efforts in the recent time was to come up with a Consensus Candidate among contestants from Kogi West like it is notably done in the East but it could not work and supposed block votes that could be used for negotiation will now be shared between the three contestants from Kogi West, hence the need for this proposed peaceful alliance for posterity.
“Everyone in Kogi State is clamoring for positive change but if care is not taken, we may still work in favor of our common enemy”
Senator Smart Adeyemi said the Igala and Okun People in the State have similarities in culture and will be more comfortable with one and other, hence the prospect of this alliance is positive and that he is fully in support.
In his remarks, the SDP Governorship candidate in Kogi State, Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka appreciates the people of Kogi West for their wisdom, saying that Unity of purpose will surely guarantee workable alliance for power rotation and promised to abide by the content of MOU.
