The former of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on Saturday declared that there will be no opposition to the ruling party in the state in the 2027 general election.
Bello, who made the remarks at a rally in Isanlu in Yagba east Local Government Area of the state when he welcomed defectors to the All Progressive Congress, noted that the North Central state is a one-party state.
According to him, oppositions in the State House of Assembly are now APC members, and that President Bola Tinubu will win easily in the presidential election.
In his words, “Today, Kogi state house of assembly is going to be one. There would be no minority leader again. The minority leader in the state house of assembly is decamping today.
“Kogi is a one-party state. And, by the special grace of God, come 2027, I have said it before that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock. Tinubu’s mandate was given to him by Nigerians, and they will say to him, ‘hold this mandate until 2031’.
“Who is doing more coalition when everybody is coming to our party? The 2027 election is going to be the simplest and easiest for APC and the president.”
