Ukomu Igala Organizations group has rejected the endorsement of Governor Yahaya Bello second term reelection by the Attah of Igala.
The group, disclosed this via statement, signed by the leader of the organization, Retired Comptroller Abdul Amade, on Thursday.
The grpup totally reject the recent, endorsement by the traditional rulers at the Presidential Villa Abuja, they describe the visit, as to impose a candidate on the people of the State.
According to the group, it is evident that the visit of the Kogi State traditional rulers, to President Muhammadu Buhari was stage-managed in an attempt to seek his support for the imposition of a particular candidate on the good people of Kogi state.
The group said: “That the entire Igala race which the voice(Ukomu Igala) represents, is not happy with the ongoing siege on our Traditional Rulers.
“That the presentation made during the said visit, is not a true reflection of the wishes and aspirations of the good people of the Igala Kingdom as the Traditional Rulers were merely arm twisted to make a commitment in favour of the ongoing political aspirations of individual interests in Kogi state.”
The group, therefore, urged the President to disregard the teleguided message in the interest of peace and justice that informed the massive support of Kogites for the change mantra.
“This position of the President must not be allowed to be stained as we urge the President not to allow individual interests to becloud his political judgment based on the contents of the speech during the visit by our Traditional Rulers,” they said.
The group also called on the President as well as the national officers of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and other political parties “to disregard all clandestine and deceptive moves by any individual or groups to misrepresent the feelings and yearnings of the good people of Kogi state.”
