APC Elders Raise Alarm Over Crisis in Kogi, Urge Tinubu to Intervene

By Queen Madaki

Elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State have raised concerns over deepening internal divisions within the party, calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, to urgently intervene.

The Bureau News reports that the elders warned that the growing crisis, if left unchecked, could weaken the party’s structure and affect its performance in future elections.

Elders Accuse Governor Ododo of Fostering Disunity

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Kogi State APC Elders Assembly, the group alleged that Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo is contributing to disunity and disaffection among party members.

The statement was signed by key figures, including Dr. Hezekiah Ikusemoro (Kogi West), Alhaji Adaviriku Omeiza (Kogi Central), and Barrister David Ameh (Kogi East).

According to the elders, the current political climate within the party has created tension across the three senatorial districts, raising fears of internal fragmentation.

Vote of No Confidence Move Sparks Controversy

The elders condemned a planned move by some APC leaders from Kogi West, reportedly heading to Abuja to stage what they described as a renewed vote of no confidence against Senator Sunday Steve Karimi.

They described the action as a “sponsored charade” that does not reflect the views of constituents, insisting that the senator continues to enjoy widespread support.

The group warned that such actions only waste public resources and further weaken party unity in Kogi State.

The elders also recalled a similar attempt on March 12, 2026, in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area, which they said was rejected by party stakeholders across the district.

Party Congresses Deepen Internal Crisis

The APC elders further blamed the worsening crisis on the conduct of recent party congresses in the state, alleging that key stakeholders were sidelined during the process.

They claimed that party positions were filled without proper consultation, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction and unrest among members.

Warning of Political Fallout Ahead of Elections

The group raised concerns about growing disillusionment among party members, particularly in Kogi East, where they noted increasing silence and disengagement.

They also pointed to perceived favoritism in Kogi Central, warning that several local government areas feel marginalised and excluded from party activities.

According to the elders, the unresolved grievances could trigger political realignments, as aggrieved members may seek alternative platforms ahead of upcoming elections.

the implosion of the jihadist party called APC will be witnessed by all and sundry

Tinubu can not compensate or settle all aggrieved members of his party.
After the primaries, the real test of APC's unity will be confirmed.

You people shoul leave Tinubu alone nah. Shey dem swear for una ni?

Even Balabala Mohammed said he went to beg Tinubu to help them settle PDP crisis.

Obidients say Tinubu is scattering their group

Association of Proven Criminals (APC) nothing good can come out of it.

Well I believe it's not being sponsored by yahaya bello. After literally clinging unto ofodo during his Efcc saga, he can't come and start causing problems.

It is called a political party and not a religion house. So disagreement is inevitable.

One of the worst states ever.aside politics and civil service, they do nothing, Highly tribalistic too.

Are you been sincere or you wan wine yourself?

The people who have tons of problems and probably no party will rejoice like there's a world cup goal over this.

Sounds like some stakeholders in Kogi didn't receive a portion of the largess going around these days.

Tell us what they do make we know ..
I'm not from kogi .. I'm a lagosian ..

Wishful thinking is that you

After the Osun primaries, JagaBandieet of Borgu invited the losers to Aso Rock and sorted them out with money stolen from us. Has Osun APC imploded since then?

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
