A political support group in Kogi West has mocked Nda Aaron following the endorsement of Senator Sunday Karimi as the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by party stakeholders in the district.
The group, through its chairman, Ibrahim Musa, said the endorsement of Senator Karimi has finally silenced critics and opponents who had earlier doubted his acceptance within the party.
Speaking shortly after the stakeholders’ meeting held at the Government House in Lokoja, Musa described the endorsement as a major victory for unity and continuity in Kogi West politics.
“Now that Senator Karimi has finally been endorsed, Nda Aaron how far? We warned them against parading aspirants without the backing of the party structure,” he stated.
According to him, the endorsement by Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and other APC stakeholders clearly shows that Senator Karimi remains the preferred candidate of the party ahead of the next senatorial contest.
He added that the lawmaker’s achievements and loyalty to the APC contributed greatly to the overwhelming support he continues to enjoy across the seven local government areas of Kogi West.
The group also commended APC stakeholders for what it described as a wise decision capable of strengthening unity within the party.
Supporters of Senator Karimi were seen celebrating the endorsement in Lokoja and other parts of Kogi West, describing it as a confirmation of the senator’s growing political strength within the district.
