An election without APC will definitely be a work over for PDP. It is the senatorial victory of APC in IMO state that should be a pointer to the fact that APC is still the most acceptable party by Nigerians across the 6 geopolitical zones of the country despite the present temporary economic challenges facing the country.

What do you know?

The Igalas are the main power brokers in Kogi and since Audu's death crystallized Yahaya Bello, it became incumbent on Igalas to re-aligned themselves so as to regain power lost for the first time.

I daresay that most Igalas have come to identify with the PDP. You should know what that means in the balance of power in Kogi State...

What is happening today was caused by the late Audu. He collected monies from some intending candidates from Kogi central, east and west senatorial zones, and imposed them on others, without conducting primaries.

The same Audu who promised to return the state's N11 billion if he wins shocked grin

Some people whose alias start with "Z", claim PDP is dead. Despite having an alternative in Labour Party, the Kogi East people ignored the influence of their sitting APC governor to pitch their tents enmass with PDP. APC should watch its back as 2019 approaches.
be reminded that APC never contested the race....study hard

APC shot itself in the foot in Kogi state when they decided to impose Yahaya Bello as the governor of the state. Kogi East is the most populated district in Kogi state and politics being a game of numbers dictates that Kogi East should produce the state's governor or at least have a say on who should be the state's governor (we demanded for James Faleke). 2019 will be very interesting. Where PDP and the central level survives or not may be debatable but PDP in Kogi state will regain power. The Igalas are disappointed in the leaders of APC in the state. Could you believe that mostv of them actually worked against Audi while they were following him around to tap from his popularity? The Igalas will vote en masse against APC and so will the Okuns who were cheated by the a party after the Igalas got cheated by death. Tribalism cannot be erased out of politics, not in Nigeria, not in America, Russia or anywhere in the world.

Is it that the Kogi people have realized thier mistake and arr try to get it right or the man is simply popular in that zone?
Well Isaac just got lucky. His brother Bob decamped to APC last year and campaigned for Audu. Isaac has been contesting and losing elections at the party's primary level since 2003 and he became completely irrelevant after Dan Kadiri's death.

you don't know anything about Kogi politics, just keep off. Which governor are you talking about, the one that emerged by 6k votes? He should be the reason people would not vote for apc in igala land. There's an Attai Aidoko( a one time senator and 3 times HoR member) who upon his legal fight the election was nullified. As a pdp candidate, he won in court, but via pre-election tussle at the high court, isaac Alfa got him; of course, the court disqualified him and Isaac emerged. There's no apc in the race. If Aidoko was there on pdp ticket, you'd have seen how the people would vote Labour party.

not the party candidate, but the party itself. They did not hold primary election for most of their candidates then.

"The Election was very peaceful" says INEC and APC was not included in the election and the election was not declared inconclusive as usual.
Does this mean that APC is responsible for elections being Violent and inconclusive

If you think is APC Click Like if you think is not Click share lets see what Nigerians think.
What you don't know is that lately APC is the party to beat, if APC happen to be in that election PDP will see them as the main problem and they will have to strategies and hire some hoodlums to rig for them and that's why there will be irregularities. But since APC is not involve in the election, PDP see it as easy ride to victory and no need of hiring any thugs.

Rochas is a well known fraudster we can't wait to kick him out after these his tenure. We don't want APC anywhere in SS or SE. He obviously connived with inec to rig himself back in. As for this rerun his money is working for him.
