As the issue of who becomes the deputy governor to governor-elect Alhaji Yahaya Bello intensifies, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has turned its searchlight on the Igalas.

The deputy governor-elect, Hon Faleke had several times said that he would not betray Prince Abubakar Audu’ s political empire so soon by denying the joint ticket the people overwhelmingly voted for, stressing that if the party does not deem it necessary for him to continue from where Audu stopped, he would not change his loyalty so soon, despite the party’s insistence that he must be the deputy.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the APC had over the weekend allegedly met with some Igala stakeholders in APC to see how an Igala would emerge deputy to Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

It was also gathered from Igala stakeholders that many Igala sons and daughters are indicaing interest in the coveted position.

Those alleged to have shown interest in the position when APC leaders approached the Igalas for the replacement of Hon Faleke, include Hon Simon Achuba, former House of Assembly member, Hon Tim Diche, governorship aspirant, Hon Ikani Okolo, member representing Dekina/Bassa federal constituency in the House of Representatives and Hon Aisha Audu née Emeje, former governorship aspirant.

A stalwart of APC from the area, Alhaji Ibrahim Linco Ocheje told our reporter that he heard the rumour but nobody has officially made the position known to him as far as he was concerned stating that? it is mere figment of imagination of those clamouring to be deputy when the position is not zoned to the area, adding that “even if it’s the child of necessity it has not reached that stage yet”.

Who ever that ends up becoming the deputy should help this young man govern Kogi state, to lift the suffering of Kogi people.
