(1) Kogi East consists of 3 federal constituencies. We have Ankpa, Dekina and Idah federal constituencies.
(2) In today’s political stand as it concerns Kogi East. DEKINA federal constituency is presently holding the senatorial sit and the position of the deputy speaker of the state assembly.
While, Idah federal constituency has just been given the ministerial slot. Also, The governorship candidate of SDP and the deputy governroship candidate of APC is from the same Idah constituency. Thus leaving ANKPA federal constituency and especially, Ankpa Local govt politically empty.
(3) In the light of the above, Ankpa federal constituency and especially Ankpa Local govt have come to realize that, they HAVE been used politically. Whereas, the looming and imminent marginalization of political benefits has been noticed already.Ankpa will not allow that to happen,to balance the equation, we must now vote PDP.
It is only the PDP that has so far remembered and given the Ankpa people the sense of belonging. By according the DEPUTY governroship slot to Ankpa federal constituency and indeed Ankpa Local govt. As a matter of fact, the Good of Ankpa local govt must cue behind the emergence of Hon Haj Habiba Muhammed Deen as the DEPUTY governroship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the next November elections.
Ankpa are not slaves and, can never be stooged politically. We must shine our eyes and put aside our political sentiments to massively vote PDP to enable Ankpa to be part of the state political system. The only sincere hope for us the people of Ankpa federal constituency and Ankpa local govt in particular, is to stand up and face the reality by humbly throws our supports for Hon Haj Habeeba Muhammed Deen, the DEPUTY governorship candidate of the PDP.
If not so, Ankpa federal constituency and indeed Ankpa Local govt will be left out of the political equation for yet another 4years (God forbid). In view of the above reasons, it is high time for Ankpa local govt to vote for PURPOSE, REALITY and OBJECTIVE These points enumerated above are enough reasons to sing the song of an Ankpa Agenda. Amo maye, e ma cha bane len,, awa Ankpa agbo owo ofofo. Ojo kibume ne!
