Kogi UPP endorses ADC candidate for senatorial seat



The United Political Parties (UPP), Kogi state chapter, said it has
endorsed the candidature of Dr Victor Alewo Adoji, of the Action
Democratic Congress (ADC), for the Kogi East Senatorial seat in the
rescheduled National Assembly election slated for February 23rd, 2019.

In a statement signed by Ibrahim Itodo, state leader and Hon Mohammed
Lawal, Secretary Kogi UPP said without sentiments, the decision to
support Adoji was taken after a careful assessment of his manifestos
and carriage which makes him outstanding among 30 others running for
the Kogi East Senatorial seat.

The statement read in part: “Having keenly followed the campaign and
activities of Dr Victor Alewo Adoji’s sensitization and campaign
manifestos to his senatorial district, without any iota of doubt or
sentiment has proven that he has the competence, capacity and the
character to be supported by the UPP into the Senate come 23rd
February 2019 general elections.

“In view of the above assertion therefore, the United Political
Parties on this day 20th February, 2019 endorsed the candidate of ADC,
Dr Victor Alewo Adoji as our consensus candidate for the Senate to
represent the good people of Igala/Bassa.
“This endorsement is as a result of critical review of the past
representatives in the Red chamber and their non-performance, non-
participatory democracy in carrying the constituents along in a
democratic Manner.”

The UPP said it was not surprised that, the East/Bassa elders
political forum after careful interaction with the candidates also
declared Dr Victor Alewo Adoji of ADC as the most acceptable and
credible candidate for the election to represent Igala/Bassa at the
Red chambers of the National Assembly.
“Dr Adoji has proven beyond reasonable doubt by his theory of a social
contract principle and a bottom to up style of governance canvassed
during his campaign and therefore clearly distinguished himself among
others that he is more prepared to face the business of law making in
the National Assembly.

“We are urging the good people of Igala/Bassa land to proudly support
the candidate of the ADC, Dr Adoji for Senate on Saturday 23rd
February, 2019.”
