What did the state chapter of the PDP benefit from him?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow all of a sudden they want the PDP in Kogi state to defer to him. A PDP that is desperately struggling to find its bearing amid a surge of defections and altercations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey seem lost. We know their defeat in the 2015 election is still reverberating in their affairs. They are short of notable and strong political personalities that can steer the party. If not how would they bring a man fastly dissipating into political obscurity to come and head their reconciliation just a month to election proper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0As A Father, I Am Very Appalled, Saraki Reacts To Sex-For-Marks Lecturer Exposed By BBC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP in Kogi state as you can see has no bearing oscillating between Atiku Abubakar and Bukola Saraki, two politicians that have been humbled by the 2019 election and are fighting desperately to maintain their self-respect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t think it will bring about any change in the political and electoral balance in Kogi state. Kogi State is APC and will remain so as long as we continue to pursue the general interest of our people.
