Media Advocacy Group for Senator Sunday Steve Karimi has called on politicians in Okunland to shun divisible act that can threatening the peace love and unity noted among politicians in the area.
The group alleged that the Chairman of a Local Government Area in Okunland has allegedly summoned the newly elected Ward Chairmen across the 15 wards of the Local Government and directed them to pass a vote of no confidence on Senator Sunday Karimi.
More disturbing is the claim by one of the Ward Chairmen who confided in our Media Office that the Local Government Chairman allegedly stated that the directive came from the Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo.
We consider this development a needless political drama that is clearly at variance with the spirit of Kogi West politics which has always operated as a unified family. The summons and intention equally runs against the grain of the verifiable achievements of Senator Sunday Karimi in the said Local Government Area and across Kogi West Senatorial District. We find it necessary therefore to put the public on notice regarding attempts by certain elements to sow seeds of division within our great party ahead of the 2027 general elections. The ship of progress in our beloved district will not be derailed.
The people of Kogi West are politically sophisticated. They cannot be misled by contrived political theatrics. They are cognisant of the broad-based contributions of Senator Sunday Karimi, whose interventions and empowerment programmes have positively impacted youths, women, and students across the Senatorial District.
Equally, the people are witnesses to the numerous people-oriented projects facilitated by the Senator, which continue to improve lives and strengthen development across the district.
We therefore urge those engaging in the ongoing political circus and unnecessary sycophancy to focus on issues that truly matter to the people rather than actions capable of creating avoidable divisions within the party. Desperadoes and characters who have failed the people over the years cannot now be repackaged in robes of deceit.
As a team, we remain focused on the bigger task of delivering continued progress and strengthening the bond between leadership and the people. We encourage those being misled to rededicate themselves to the service of our people.
