Leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi State, alongside socio-political groups, have declared their support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, while expressing confidence in the lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Abiodun Faleke.The endorsement was contained in a joint statement issued on Thursday and signed by Enemona John, on behalf of the Kogi State Advocacy Group for Peace and Development, and Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed for the Kogi APC Stakeholders Forum.The groups described Faleke as a “peace-loving” and “purposeful” leader whose contributions have benefited both Kogi State and the country.According to the statement, Faleke has remained committed to the development of Kogi despite representing a Lagos constituency in the House of Representatives.“Hon. James Faleke is one of the most organised, purposeful and stable political figures in Nigeria today. He is effectively the ‘eyes and ears’ of the President in terms of grassroots developmental monitoring. His loyalty to the progressive cause is unmatched”, Enemona said.The stakeholders also expressed confidence in the APC’s electoral prospects in Kogi State, attributing part of the party’s strength to Faleke’s support and political influence.Mohammed said, “Because of Hon. Faleke’s direct involvement, loyalty and deep strategic input, we are confident in our ability to deliver Kogi State for the APC and President Tinubu in the upcoming elections.”He added that the lawmaker had used his network to facilitate federal appointments for many Kogi indigenes in both the civil service and political offices.Related NewsTinubu rejects two N’Assembly bills over constitutional flaws2027: Adelabu, Folarin, others hold closed-door meeting in OyoTambuwal visits Sokoto attack victims, asks Tinubu to prioritise securityThe stakeholders also reacted to a recent statement by another group that criticised Faleke, describing the criticism as politically motivated.“This is a classic Kogi-style political blackmail. These are desperate individuals who see the close relationship between Hon. Faleke and President Tinubu as a threat to their interests,” he said.He urged the Presidency not to be distracted by the criticisms, saying, “We are asking the President not to give these actors any audience. President Tinubu is a veteran of Nigerian politics and cannot be deceived.”The groups further highlighted what they described as Faleke’s contributions to security in Kogi State, including the donation of patrol vehicles to the newly commissioned Smart Police Divisional Headquarters in Ekinrin-Adde.They noted that the gesture had received commendation from the Kogi State Government.Referring to the recognition, Enemona asked, “The man who once enjoyed such praise and commendation—when did he suddenly become a troublemaker in the state?”The stakeholders called on Faleke to remain focused despite the criticisms.“We appeal to Hon. James Faleke to disregard these elements. His legacy of peace, philanthropy and progress speaks for itself.
