Ex-Kogi Guber Candidate Joins ADC
The gubernatorial candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in the 2023 governorship election in Kogi State, Olayinka Braimoh, has left his party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Braimoh officially decamped on Saturday in Kabba, the headquarters of Kabba-Bunu Local Government in the state, noting that his decision to join ADC was borne out of his desire to bring change to the leadership landscape of Kogi State.
“With the calibre of persons in the party, ADC coalition is the platform under which I believe my vision of a new Kogi state can be actualised.
“The opportunity for the coalition and the need to have like minds work together to move the mountain of poverty and vision less leadership from our dear state, Kogi, motivated me to join ADC, and the party is also a bigger and better platform to contest”, he said.
Braimoh stated that the state is below in terms of leadership performance, looking at “the potentials, capacities and intellectual assets that this state possesses”.
The former gubernatorial candidate noted further that with the state’s potential, the best have not had the opportunity of leading, stressing, “that is the reason why we decided to join the coalition to move our state forward”.
He therefore called on Kogites to be a part of the moving ADC train in the state.
In his remarks, the ADC Chairman in the State, Hon. Kingsley Temitope Ogga, described Braimoh’s bold step as a timely right step.
He stated that the coalition is here to stay and is determined to deliver the needed results in the coming elections in the state.
