Lagos Tuesday 6th October, 2015
The
governorship ticket of former Governor
Abubakar Audu and his running mate, Hon.
James Abiodun Faleke on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) for
the forthcoming guber election in Kogi State has been described an indomitable
combination that will beat any opponent hands down. Making this assertion
shortly after the First Quarterly Town
Hall Meeting organised by His Excellency,
the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode in Abesan, a suburb of
Ipaja, Lagos on Tuesday 6th October,
2015, Hon. Adedamola Richard Kasunmu
stated that, given the experience and popularity of ex-Gov. Audu and the political
sagacity of Hon. Faleke, the combination of the duo will be difficult for the
PDP or any party to beat in the fast-approaching November 21, 2015 Kogi
Governorship poll. According to the cerebral Lawmaker representing Ikeja
Constituency 02 at the Lagos State House of Assembly, “when it comes to
astonishing political strategy that leaves the camp of opponents in disarray,
Honourable Faleke is a master of the game. When you are also talking about five-star
political leadership, Hon. Faleke is a front-liner. We all witnessed his impressive
performance as Lagos Coordinator of Buhari-Osinbajo
Presidential Campaign in the last General Elections and everyone can also attest
to his super success as the Lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency at
the House of Representatives since 2011”. Speaking further, Honourable Adedamola Richard Kasunmu,
popularly known as ARK, said “the
people of Kogi State are tired of the past years of PDP’s disastrous rule,
which has brought nothing but frustration, abject poverty and abysmal failure to
the people. The season of Change has come and God has sent the agents of Change
to Kogi people in persons of Prince Audu
and Hon. Faleke”. By the special grace of God, Kogi will be liberated come
November 21”
