Former House of Representatives candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Hon. Abayomi Bello, has passionately called on the people of Kogi West to unite and throw their weight behind Alhj Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, the governorship candidate of the SDP, in the forthcoming election.
According to Hon. Bello, the strategic nature of voting patterns and the divided support has diminished the chances of any candidate from Kogi West winning the election – raising the urgent need to consolidate support around the region that boasts maximum voting strength.
Speaking at a media chat recently, Hon. Abayomi Bello shed light on the critical advantages of endorsing Alhj Muritala Yakubu Ajaka as the preferred choice for governorship. Bello highlighted the pressing issue of numbers and underscored the importance of political unity within Kogi West.
He delicately emphasized the inherent division in voting preferences, which could inadvertently hinder the victory of any candidate hailing from the region.
Bello urged the residents of Kogi West to deeply reflect on the possible outcomes of the upcoming election. “To secure our collective future and wield social, economic, and infrastructural development for Kogi West as a united front, we must consolidate our vast electoral strengths,” Hon. Bello articulated.
Predicting what may transpire if the voting preferences continue to be scattered across various candidates, Bello persuasively contended, “Although a few contenders may promise certain perks, even their collective benefits cannot outweigh the immense power that comes with having a political leader emulating the interests of Kogi West seated at the helm of governance.”
Drawing explicit comparisons, Bello went on to dispute the argument in favor of voting for the APC candidate, stressing that their limited numbers would unlikely yield the majority vote needed to represent Kogi West effectively. In contrast, the SDP candidate, Muritala Yakubu Ajaka, possesses regional prowess and an extensive network of supporters, thereby securing a robust foundation in Kogi West.
Bello reiterated that by rallying behind Ajaka, the collective voting strength of Kogi West would be magnified, heightening the region’s prospects for a bright and prosperous future. “Together, we possess an unmatched force capable of driving tangible change and instigating a positive transformation to address the challenges faced by our region,” Hon. Abayomi Bello assured a captivated audience.
Acknowledging the spirited campaigns of multiple candidates vying for the governorship seat, Bello extended an open invitation to all, encouraging them to critically evaluate the potential contributions of each candidate. Nonetheless, he articulately made the case for Kogi West to strategically align its voting decisions behind the SDP flagbearer, asserting that it will pave the way for untapped dividends and enduring progress.
As the governorship election approaches, Kogi West residents are at a pivotal juncture. The decisions they make at the ballot boxes will carry significant consequences for their region’s future. Hon. Abayomi Bello’s impassioned plea calls to the very essence of unity, underscoring the importance of strategic electoral choices that can harness the full strength of Kogi West’s voting power. With Alhj Muritala Yakubu Ajaka’s extensive support and focus on the region’s welfare, the SDP candidate offers the promise of a brighter, more prosperous future for the people of Kogi West.
In a time where political divisions run deep, the resonance of Hon. Bello’s appeal lies in its clear message: “Together, let us elect a governor who will not only hold Kogi West’s interests close to heart but prioritize enacting real change based on our combined voice and voting strength.”
